Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 20.-A saddler
and harness-maker named Wise, at the
Davis-Reinman stables, this city, created
considerable excitement in the vicinity of
the stables at o'clock this afternoon by
shooting and fatally wounding Lee Corn,
former sutton for the hand OF Wise's
wife. All parties to the tragedy are of
Lonoke County, this State. Wise but re-
Gently located here. Corn came over
to Little Rock this morning, and in the
afternoon called at Wise's place OF BUSH
ness, and it is said by Mrs. Wise he came
TO carry into execution his oft repeated
threat to kill her husband. At all events,
before he left the premises he received a
wound from pistol in the hands Of
Wise, from the effect OF which
he died late in the evening lie was talk
ing TO Wise, who 1t seems made a move to
get his gun. Corn turned and started to
run and received the contents OF Wise's
pistol in the small OF the back. TIE AP-
PEAL reporter called TO see the lady over
whom the sad affair occurred and found
her at 203 Rock street in company
with her mother. One week ago
tonight she ran away and was clandes-
timely married to Wise, her mother oppos-
ing the union. She is eighteen years Of
age and most prepossessing little woman.
She admitted having been engaged to
Corn at the time she became the wife of
the other man, and says she and LED
were splendid lovers, but that Joe
pressed his suit the hardest, and
OF course, won her. This action Of
his sweetheart seems to have un-
settled Corn's mind, and was the cause
OF his death. Deputy Constable llurd ar
rested Wise, with the pistol still in his
hand, and locked him up in the county
Jail. Corn had no weapon on him at the
time Of the shooting, and il is thought the
matter will 90 hard with Wise.

AS we now look into the new year, how
we try to forecast its record. What are to
be our experiences? How are its changes
to affect the enterprise in which our hopes
are conferred? During the past year this
branch has been under the management OF
association directors. The membership
was. principally constituted as such in the
beginning by contributing every article Of
furnishing for the house TO the amount OF
$500, some paying the membership fee, So
annually. We hope all who thus aided in
this one year ago will now come forward,
renewing their membership. We very
much desire to organize a separate board
OF management, thereby relieving our
oyertaxed workers. as they are burdened
with duties pertaining to other depart
ments OF association work. The financial
