A Planter murdered by ooasl.ts.

HELENA, Ark Feb. "a The community
was thrown into e great state o5 excitement
this morning by report thas came from
the Williamson place, two miles below the
city, that the eOnvicts at work on the lsvee
had taken gun from one of the guards
killed Mr.. James II. Cant, a very prominent
planter, and escaped. 1t seems that there
were eighteen white persons and four col
ored working OF the place, and suddenly
some of them rushed upon Charles Rankin,
one of the guards, and wrested his gun from
him Thus armed they 2racticeG the ssme
thing upon one of the guards named Hill.
Mr.. Cant, who was a shoxt distance
from the scene. advanced upon
the cOnyiets with viow of stopping th6r
movements. when one of the leaders cried
out, "ShoOt the =" ssnd the party who had
Rankin's gun leveled itat Mr.. Gantand shoi
him through the BODY. Mr.. CANT was up
on horseback at the time, and rode perhap:
800 yards, when he fell to the ground, and
in FIVE minutes wss a corpse. In the mean
time the convicts made rush for the west
and soon had got across the hills.
About twenty-five persons went from
Helena to join in the search for the convic
murderers. Mr.. Cant was one ot the bes
known men of the State, and his death viii
be generally felt.
Latest sdvices state that hounds have beei
put on the track of the mo rderers, and the,
are, perhaps, surrounded in the canebrak
