Al One Time There Was Good Fishing I'm
Maekay's Lake Near ottawa
Mackay's lake lies about two miles
from the center Of the city Of Ottawa
and about half a mile from the bank
of the Ottawa river. II is a small body
of clear water with a mari bottom in
which a pole might be easily pushed
down. apparently 20 any distance

COTTON PICKERS STRIKE.
Facts Concerning the Recent Lynehing Of
Nine Negro Rioters in Arkansas.

Facts Concerning the Recent Lynehing oil
Nine Negro Rioters in Arkansas.
A Helena, Ark. special says: There
has been considerable excitement here
over warfare in the county caused by
body CT imported cotton pickers incit
ing negros to general strike for higher
wages, which has eliminated in a riot.
Jessie Hodges, who have been with
Sheriff Derrick the last few days, ar
rived in the city and report as follows:
Wednesday afternoon they succeeded
rioting negroes in a canebrake near
Cats Island. The negroes had been
trying to work their way to President 8
Island, and thence to Memphis. The
sheriff s posse called upon them to
surrender and give up their arms. The
negroes answered by volley of shots
and made dash to escape. Two were
killed, two escaped and nine were cap
tured. These negroes were disarmed
and given in charge of deputies Mills
and Hodges, who started with them to
Mariana, the county seat. A few miles
back of Hackley landing the deputies
found themselves and prisoners sur
rounded by a crowd of masked men.
mounted and armed. They demanded
the prisoners at the bands of the depu
ties, and as they outnumbered the de-
Putles two to one, took charge of the
prisoners, marched them into a thicket
and hung them. It is believed that
most Of the negroes were from Mem
phis.
Among the killed is Ben Patterson,
who is known a crap shooter and all
around negro gambler and who organ
lied the strike in behalf of the cotton
pickers who annually go from Memphis |
to the bottoms. The balance had moth |
ing to do with the distur bance what |
ever. It remains to be seen whether
the trouble is entirely over, although |
the general impression is that it is:
that the death of Patterson settles it.
