Particulars of Death Of w. l.. Saunders.

Lake City (S. c. Times, Jan. =.
Mr.. EDITOR A shooting aTray oc-
CURED near Cades III which w. l..
Saunders was shot and killed by VIM.
Cade. The particulars Of the affair are
az follows: On Friday morning, Jan.
10Th, about ten O'Clock, a report came
into Cade5 that Bill Cade had shot and
killed Saunders at his(Bill Cade's) house
the night before about dusk. The body
OF Sanders laid in Bill Cade's house,
locked up all night, by the Cades, and
some passing negro brought the news
OF the shooting to Cades.
Friday morning Messra Carsten and
Tallevast rode down to the scene Of tie
tragedy. meeting Robert Cade and Mr.
Gray at the place. Carsten asked Cade
if it was so that his son Bill had shot
Saunders. He said yes. Carsten and
Tallevast asked what time it had hap
pened, and he said about dusk the
night before. Carsten asked him why
he did not send word to the people Of
Cades at the time 1t happened: He
said he felt badly and he did not send
any one out with the news.
On Friday an inquest was held over
the body, and the verdict of the jury
was that the said Saunders came to his
death by gun-shot wounds by the hand
of VIM Cade The body was then
/ turned over to f. II. Sauls, gentle
man that he had been working for
Sauls, in the presence OF other gentle
man, took what little effects the said
Saunders had on his persen. On exam
ming his pocket-book eight cents was
all the money he had on him.
The day previous to the killing, a
few gentlemen saw Sanders with money.
One saw him with so bill, two silver
dollars and some small change the
amount supposed to be about thirteen
dollars. Others say that Saunders had
twenty-five dollars with him. Nothing
has ever been found but the eight cents.
The whole affair Is much to be regret
ted as Saunders was an inOffensiye man
who had only one hand, the right one
being so badly mashed in a lath ma
chine that amputatlOn was necessary
However, it can be truthfully said 81
him that he was no dead-teat or yaga-
bond. as he was hard working and was
strict IN his attention to business. IIC
hailed from North Carolina and was Of
pleasant address and calculated To in

among q better class than he was among
when associated with Bill Cade. Oh

Coal OIL Deposits in Polk County.

Indications point to the existence of
coal oil deposits near Mena, the new
city in Polk county. Rock so com
pletely saturated with oil as to be in
fiammable is found within a radius of
six miles of that city. Il f. Kennedy, of
Logan county, recently visited that sec
tion with a view to developing the oil
fields Test augers have been sunk
near Magazine, Logan county, pene-
trating at various depths flows of both
gas and coal oil, SO that the existence
of these articles in that section is as
sured, but in what quantities nothing
will be known definitely until the coun-
try is thoroughly tested Further in
vestigation it seems viii soon be made
and it is confidently expected that vol
umes of natural gas and coal oil will be
found in paying quantities. With the
addition of these important factors of
commerce the state of Arkansas will
have a complete list of elements to
place it at the head of all states as the
center of manufacturing. Evidences
! of coal oil in various parts of Western
Arkansas were long ago discovered and
for many years biologists and experts
in developing coal oil fields have pro-
claimed the existence of rich deposits
of this fluid, but for many reasons there
has been no special effort made to as
certain just how great an amount of
wealth in this line is hidden beneath
the surface. With an awakening of
business and the opening of new rail-
roads it may be expected that the coal,
gas and coal oil wealth of the state will
be developed. All of these sources OF
profit call for the investment of capital
and the exercise of business genius and
enterprise
