Frank Galbreath was robbed at Fsyette-
vile Last Sunday night of gold watch
and chain. Galbreath, who was under the
influence of liquor, had been paying a
visit to questionable place of resort on
East Mountain. On his return TO town he
laid down by the wayside TO sleep off the
effects of the whiskey, and it was while in
this situation that the watch and chain dis
appeared. When Galbiea,h awoke and
found that he had been robbed he remem-
bered that before he had fallen asleep
young Willie Marshall had passed where
he was and had stopped and talked with
him. This fact be communicated to the
officers. When young Marshall was APP
preached regarding the matter he con
fessed his guilt, and going with Officers
Duggan and Gregg to the place where he
had hid the watch and chain, he turned
them over to the officers. Young Marshall,
who is quite lad, being hardly more than
IA years of age aud who has been raised up
under good home influences, is now in jail
to await the action of the grand jury.
Lee Strother, a yonug negre living on
the L. A. Hill place, seven miles south of
Pine Bluff, was placed in Jail Wednesday,
charged with attempting to kill Will Pack
ard, another tenant. The shooting is a
sequel to fatal accident that occurred
about two weeks ago, when he and his
father, Robert, moved Packard and another
negro, Robert Washington, to the place.
They crossed the swollen waters of Bayou
Bartholomew ON raft and the four men,
wagon and two horses proving too heavy
load for the light craft, the two horses
plum ged into the water, capsizing the raft.
Lee Strother reached the shore by swim
ming and rescued Packard and Washing
from watery grave, but his father sank
and was later dragged up corpse. Ever
since then Lee Strother has kept up quar-
rel with Packard which eliminated in the
shooting Of Packard, who was unarmed aud
blowing in the field. He received one bul.
let in the back and one in the arm. The
wounds are not necessarily fatal Strother
il not enjoying the best reputation, and
his act OF saving Packard from drowning
only to fill his body with lead is hard to
account for.
