FOULLY AssAssINATED.
A Coed Citizen Shot Down Without
Warning.
'rhe cowardlv Act Perpetrated by
Mo0nshiners.

Last Sunday morning about O'Clock
Robert Harrison, leading merchant
and prominent mason, living at Jasper
Newton, county, while enroute from his
home to Fort Smith was shot and per-
haps fatally wounded by unknown per-
sons ambushed ON the roadside at APPOINT
about ten miles west of nover in Martin
township Mr.. Harrison was accompany
ing deputy u. ). marshal who had in
charge prisoner alleged to have violat-
ed the homestead laws in Newton coun-
ty. They staId Saturday hight at jeff
Ledford's and it is supposed the knowl-
edge OF federal officers being In the com
munity was gained from that fact. The
assassins were doubtless moonshiners
who misunderstood the business of these
men and thought they were after some
one in that neighborhood. Color is lent
to this theory from the fact that great
excitement prevails in that part of the
country over the arrest here last week of
several parties ALLEGED 50 connected
more les - Getty with Illicit distillng.
Friends of these arrested parties have
since then been In constant dread of ex-
posture and arrest, hence it is quite rea-
sonable to conclude that Mr.. Harrison's
misfortune was in being mistaken for an
officer on nilsson Of which he was en-
tirely innocent. 1g9... crime is one that
every good citizen condemns in un-
measured terms and the hope is every
where expressed that the culprits may
be oyertaken and punished according to
their deserts.
As soon as Sheriff johnson heard Of
the affair he summoned posse consist
ing of ex-Sheriff Young, Deputy Sheriff
JEFF Bullock and Constable Pickett and
started for the scene of the crime de-
termined to arrest the assassins If pos
sible.
The latest information from the
wounded man is that he is alive, but
there is no hope for his recovery. He
was shot through the upper lip. the ball
lodging somewhere in his head Anoth-
err shot broke his right arm and entered
his body. Several hours after being shot
a masonic friend arrived to whom he
talked freely and it is said he communi-
Gated the fact that he recognized one or
more of the persons who did the shoot
ing. lie is said to have authorized his
wife to offer 1920 reward for the as
sassins and to pledge $4,000 If necessary
to apprehend them and secure their con-
vietion.
LATER.-The officers above mentioned,
together with Deputy Sheriff w. H..
Bonds, returned to Dover Tuesday eve
ming with seven prisoners thought to
be connected with the affair. Will
Grimmett, Bill Allen, Tom johnson and
a man named Gilmore and three
others whose names we are unable to
learn are the parties under arrest, Their
examining trial will take place before
ship. Prosecuting Attorney DAVIS will
be ON hand to represent the state.
Mr.. Harrison, the wounded man, was
removed to Dover Tuesday, and is re-
recovery.
