LITTLE Rock, Feb. 49,. Last Thurs
day evening, in Ashland township,
this county, man named Ben Holmes
was shot down by Cecil Thompson.
Magistrate George M. Barrow, of that
township, held an inquest on the re-
mains of Holmes on Saturday. The
news has just been received and it
seems that Thompson had step
daughter named Florence that Holmes
was counting. Holmes was married
man, his family residing in this city.
So Thompson in,erposed and objected
to Mr.. Holmes visits and informed
Miss Florence of his decision, but the
giddy girl encouraged Holmes and he
continued clandestinely to meet her.
Thompson went to Holmes and warm
ed him to stay away. Thursday the
two men met in the woods near
Thompson's house and had long
quarrel, which ended in Holmes draw
ing his knife and threatening to cut
Thompson'S throat. Thompson was
armed with an ak and kept Holmes at
a distance. He ordered Holmes never
to enter his premises again. Holmes
said he would see the girl or die in the
attempt. On entering his house ThOmp.
son got his gun, returned to the door,
saying to Holmes, who was standing
at the gate: eff you curse me and my
family will shoot you." "Well, blaze
away" returned Holmes. Thompson
pulled the trigger and filled bis anita
gonist full of buckshot, from the effects
of which he died Friday night. The
coroner's jury returned verdict thai
deceased came to his death from gun
shot wounds from the hands of
Thompson, who is now in Jail.

TWO ROBUST TIES.

WneuoVeI aMlsSISSippian teilS lie
II IL generally ROBUST and healthy and
can WALK, but the moment a Georgian
hears Of It, SO great is the rivalry be
tween the iwos States, he girds up his
loins and uuloads q. sswhopper" that is
SO strong At has ribs and a back bone,
and brAthes. y Not slong ago, man
lIvlnsnesfH llig&iIIe, Miss, said that
the cold wave in january swept over
that State SO quickly that the ponds in
the .swamps were frozen stiff before the
snakes living in them could duck their
heads undsr the water. He further re-
marked that he amused himself for a
whole day by walking on the ponds
and kicking of the heads of the snakes
which stock UP out Of the ice. This
story travelled from one place to an
other until 1t reached George, where,
for time, 1t, TO use the language Of
the prize ring, knocked out everything
II met, but finally noble Georgian
invented q muscular lie that climbed
on the collar of the Mississippi pro-
dizzy, and literally pulverized and
. mashed It into the earth.ss
The Georgia man said that while
chasing fox across an abandoned
cotton field his horse and himself fell
into an old we'll about seventy feet
deep. The fall killed his horse in
stantly, but he escaped without injury,
and at once commenced looking around
!. for Q way to reach the surface of the
I ground. To his dismay he discovered
tbat II was Impossible for him to get
out y climbing the steep walls Of
earth that shut him in, and he COM
menced bowling for help at the top of
his voice, but none came. On the
morning Of the second day the strench
from the carcass of his horse was
stiaiug, and he had made up his mind
to suffer q horrible death, when he
noticed a number of buzzafds lowering
about the top Of the we'll. Finally the
birds alighted in the well, and bright
idea flashed through his brain, and he
determined to make the buzzards pear
him up TO the ground above. AS they
settled on the carcass Of the horse he
seized them by the legs, until he had
three Of the buzzards firmly grasped in
each hand, when he gave them a vio-
lent ssshew," and they flew up, carry
ing him with them, but they did not
stop when they got out of the well, but
continuedto soar upwards until he was
Mortified TO find that he was fifty yards
above the surface of the earth. Sud.
denly, however, it occurred to him to
release one buzzard from each hand.
This he did, and to his great joy his
weight dragged the remaining buzz
yards slowly down until he was safely
landed on terra firma, when he at once
dropped on his knees and returned
thanksfn prayer.
When the story OF the Georgia fox
hunter reached the ears of the Missis>
sippi map, who launched the cold
weather lie, 1t made him feel so utterly
mean and worthless that he sold out
and went TO Texas.

SEEKING HIDDEN TREASURE,


A couple of divers with full diving suits
and utensils arrived in the city yesterday,
and proceeded to the vicinity of Valcour
island, where they will attempt to raise a
boat which is expected to contain guam
tity of gold The theory is that a British
craft OF some, at present unknown, de
scribtion, was sunk during t e times of
1872 when the military operations between
the British and Americans were
gong on. The boat which lies in
only about 20 feet of water
has always been plainly visible in low,
water, and men have frequently dove and
recovered cannon balls and relics from its
decks, while in swimming, rs the stories
say. Whether the venture will result in
the moonshine which commonly is the
end of such undertakings or not is at
present, of course, unknown. AT any rate
1t Is Brandon man who is the prime
mover in the affair, and his two divers
from Boston are on the ground. The de
velopments may prove interesting.

Mr.. Neddo has succeeded in raising the
coal barge Dougherty Bros, of Whitehall,
which sunk about two weeks ago, off Ly-
mans dock. The unloading of the cargo
is going rapidly on and in day or two
the boat will be ready for work again
The cause of the accident is found to be "a
rotten plank in the stern of the boat,
which got stove in, in some way, and
made mole about six inches long and
three inches wide. Loaded rs it was, the
waves easily washed in and in process of
tlme Ia ere was water enough in the boat
TO sink 1t. The loss to the insurance com
pany will be between 900 and 500. All
the owner has to stand is his loss of time
ana the slight repairs which the boat
needs, quite heavy burden to him, how

man, is unnjured.
