Capt. Simeon Hershey. of confederate
fame, died at Rogers. Capt. Hershey
served in Gen. Forests command in
the war of the rebellion, and was sup
posed to be the only man who could
tell the true story of the death of
Quantrell, sthe guerrilla. so long
thought to have been shot by de-
tachment of federal troops while he
was making a raid into Kentucky. 1t
is stated by friends of Capt. Hershey
that shortly before his death he said
Quantrell was shot down by Ken
tucly sympathizers of the lost cause
because of the depredations the guer-
rilla committed in the state, sparing
neither friend nor foe In his raids;
that Quantrell had been urged to
cease his barbarous warfare, oftimes
on non-com batants, but he treated all
such requests with contempt.
Arrested at the Grave.
Mrs William Newman was muir
dered near Clinton, Van Buren, coun-
ty, and her husband was arrested at

as Newman shoes. it is said, fitted the
tracks found at the place.

sions of fine.
