A REIGN OF TERROR.
How an Arkansas sheriff is Gaining
Newspaper NOtOrIety.

How an Arkansas sheriff is Gaining
Newspaper NOtOrlety.
MEMPHIS, May 14.-It is reported here
that a reign of terror exists in Mississippi
pi county, ARK. Several days ago an in
vestigating committee upon examination
found that Sheriff w. B. Haskins was
about $4,000 short in his settlement with
the State. Last Monday Judge JAS. LIS
ton, the County Treasurer, had difficulty
with Haskins, growing out of the alleged
defalcation of the Sheriff. Judge Liston
was accused by Haskins Of making pub
licatiOn of his shortage in the Memphis
papers. He denied the charge. Hot
words ensued and the couple re5orted to
blows.
While engaged in the scuff1e Haskins
drew a pistol and fired at Liston. the
bullet grazing his head. They were then
separated by friends before further harm
was done. The grand jury is now inves-
tisating the alleged defalcation and it IS
said Sheriff Haskins is going about the
streets of Osceola with a body guard OF
armed deputy sheriffs, all of whom are
cOlored. and that serious trouble is hourly
expected.
The best element of the community is
said 70 be opposed to Haskins, who has
thu eatened to revive a war OF races.
Haskins is shrewd politician. and has
earned the reputation of being the Pink
ertou OF the South, owing TO his success
in detecting and arresting criminals.
He is very fond OF newspaper noturiety,
and his actions at present will undoubt-
eddy gain for him all the prominence in
that line that he desires. A conflict be-
tween the two factions at Osceola would
result in the death of many persons, as
those opposing Haskins are as fearless
AS himself

A FAMILY TRAGEDY IN TEXAS.
A Son Kills His Father Mistaking Him
for a Burglar.


From me 50. Loujs Republican.
SAN ANTONIO, May 1l.-Col. John
Wthers, the well-knOwn cashier of the
First National Bank, was the victim of q
sad mistake this morning between and
o'clock, his eldest son, John, shooting
HIM for burglar. The son says the
ladies' OF the house were awakened about
3 O'Clock a. M, and seeing the figure OF a
man IN the back yard began screaming
"burglars." Their screamsawoke young
Withers who. hearing tie cries OF the
ladies' and seeing the figure Of a man,
walking rapidly toward him, seized his
pistol and fired quickly, when the man
was about sixteen yards away from him.
The young man did not know it was his
father be had shot until the old gentleman
fell, saying, You have shot your father"
All assistance possible was given the
Colonel and DR.. Herf was summoned.
He found the ball, 40-cahhre. had passed
entirely through bis shoulder, breaking
the shoulder blade and passing out at the
back. While the wound Is not necessa-
riiy fatal, 1t Is dangerous, as Col. Withers
is old and the weather Is not favorable 10
healing OF gunshOt wounds. Ii is stated
that when the ladies' began screaming
Col. Withers did not call out, but came
more rapidly to the house, no doubt be-
lleYing that burglars were IN the house.
Had he spoken 10 time. or had young
Withers called 10 halt ere firing, this sad
accident would not have happened.

The weather,

Yesterday morning started in with
every prospect of rain and there was a
slight sprinkle toward noon which,
however, quickly turned into a snow
storm. So far 1t has not done much
damage to the range, but there Is a
chance of danger ahead, from the fact
that in the present moist condition OF
the ground, should frost come, the
earth would be covered with q hard
crust which would make it very diff
cult for cattle to Obtain feed. The pre-
ceding thaws did great deal toward
weakening the quality of the grass d.
minisbing its strength and the effects
of this on stock are becoming visible
on many of the ranges, and cattle are
commencing to look good deal poor
er. AS long as the grass maintains its
strength cattle will be able to with
stand the severity of the weather, but
when the feed is washy and lacking
substance 1t renders them unable to
hold their strength. The storm had
not extended any further west than
Forsyth up to latest reports last night.

Tn. River and Its Tri but.ries

The Yellowstone broke up yesterday
morning fifteen miles above here in
full force. but up to the latest accounts
last night 1t had not done so to any
extent in the vicinity of town, although
the ice was surging a great deal and
there was at least three feet ofwater on
II. 1t was broken in places and there
were large, loose cakes of ice on top.
There was about three feet of water on
Tongue river. and IL was still rising.
There was good deal of slush ice in
the water but the main ice had not
yet broken. Pumpkin creek, yester-
day morning, was bank full and pretty
well broken up. The Mezpah was
fordable yesterday but there was about
four feet of water in il and rising rap
idly. There il no doubt but that If
the thaw continues every stream in
the country will be up, but there does
not seem to lie a promise of very great
damage as the snow fall has not been
great during the winter.

A Wise Reform,

The habit of administering quinine
In powerful doses, as an antidote to
malarial maladies, was once danger
ously common. Happily this practice
has undergone wide reform. Not
only the public, but professional men
have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers as safe botanic substitute for the
pernicious alkalOid. The conse-
quences Of this change are most i'm
portant. Now fever and ague suffer
ers are cured-formerly their com
plants were only for the time relievd,
or half bured-the remedy eventually
failing to produce any appreciable
effect except the doses were increased.
A course of the Bitters, persistently
followed. breaks up the worst attacks
and prevents their return. The evil
dence in favor of this sterling specific
and household medicine is of no am
biguous character, but positive and sat
isfactory, and the sources whence it
proceeds are very numerous.

derived therefrom are strength of

also strengthens and expands the
chest, back, arms, hands and legs; it
strengthens and develops all parts of
the frame, gives grace and self-defense.
