AaNal4SAS STATE NEWS.
The Alleged Clayton Murderer.


 Several days ago the police of Little Rock received telegram from Butte, Mont, from a man named Werner, stating that he had positive pooof as to the identity of the man who assassi- mated Col John M. Clayton at Hummer vile, this state, on the night of Janu- ary 21, 1889. Since the receipt of that dispatch a quiet investigation has been going on. Sheriff White of Conway county, the scene of the assassination, was in Little Rock the other day, and held long consultation with Attor- ncy-General Clarke and Gov. Fish back. Later in the day Sheriff White received a telegram from Werner, asking for funds to bring witnesses to Little Rock. The telegram was turned over to the attorney-general, and that of- ficial immediately telegraphed the states attorney at Butte for corrobora- tive particulars. Attorney y-General Clarke received reply substantially corroborating Werner's statement, and also stated that man named Frank Hickey was the party charged with the crime, and that he had just been lodged in jail. These facts, in addition to other particulars received, justified Gov Fishback in wiring the sheriff of Butte that he would immediately issue acquisition papers for Hickey, and send Sheriff White to Butte for the prisoner. Sheriff White of Conway county says Hickey was a resident of Plummerville when Clayton was killed, and that he was always regarded as trifling and worthless short of fellow. It will be remembered that Clayton was assas- sinated while at work collecting evil dence in his congressional contest case against Clifton R. Breckinridge. The reward for the assassin has never been withdrawn. Further developments are awaited with great interest.

The Kilkenny Cats.

In 1898, during the Irish Rebellion,
Hi kenny was garrisoned by Hessians.
The soldiers used to amuse themselves by
tying two cats together by the tails and
hanging them ever a clothes-line, where
they would fight desperately till one or
the ,ther, or both PERHAPS, were killed.
When this cruelty became known to the
officers they determined TO stop it, and
so sent an officer every day to watch for
any offense Of this kind, and to punish
the offeudar. The soldiers would keep q
man on watch themselves, and when the
word was given OF the approach OF the
officer the cats would be let loose. One
day the man neglected to keep look
out, and the officer coming upon them
suddenly one OF the soldiers divided the
cats tails with his sword, and the cats
ran off, 'sleaving their tails beh: nd them, .
like Bo Peeps sheep. TIE officer in.
quired about the curious sight Of two
cats tails hanging on the line, and was
told that two cats had fought desper-
ately, destroyed each other but the tails.
and the soldiers had picked up these ap.
pendages and hing them on the line.
So started the story, according to Irish
authorities. Brewer says: "This is an
allegory to the municipalities OF Kl-
kenny and Irishtown, who contended so
stoutly about boundaries and rights to
the end Of the seventh century That they
mutually impoverished each other ate
up each other,leaying only tail behind. :"

"In the first place, the number Of sol

Human Liberty.

Ills a glorious thing, said Father
"a. J. Ryan, to walk forth on Gods
green earth and breathe the pure
untainted air Of liberty, glorious to fling
out our arms and to feel that the despot's
chain has never sbackeled them, glorious
to possess and enjoy the peerless priv
leges and to assert and exercise the ga
cred rights with which good Creator
has endowed u.s. No wonder that men
have made such superhuman sacrifices in
defense Of their liberty! No wonder
that they have rushed into the cold
arms Of death rather than crouch be-
meath the merciless arm of despotism!
No wonder that liberty has, been the
spirit which animated the noblest Of our
race--the grand master-spell that has
made hearts brave, hands strong, souls
mighty, lives ilinstrione, deeds renowned,
deaths heroic, names glorious and MEM
cries immortal.
From the first days Of time there has
been q ceaseless conflict between tyranny
and liberty, might and right, human pas
sion and principle. Liberty must suffer
