Wiley Goode, deputy constable, shot
and mortally wounded Frank Howe,
well-known gunsmith, in Chinese
restaurant at Pine Bluff recently. Lung
Tom, a Chinaman, was also shot, but
not fatally, the ball going through
both arms. The trouble arose by
Goode going into the restaurant and
demanding dinner. The Chinaman
refused him, because Goode owed
several dollars for food. He struck
the Chinaman, who returned the blow.
whereupon Goode pulled his pistol and
fired three times. When the shooting
began Howe, who was eating at table,
arose, and Goode, thinking him a China
man, deliberately shot him.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Property May BE Levied Upon on a Judg-
ment for the Purchase Money.


The supreme court recently passed
upon an interesting question concern
ing the exemption of a homestead from
execution issued upon a Judgment for
the purchase thereof. Mr.. Justice Bat
tie delivered the opinion of the court:
The case was entitled the Boone County Bank
VS.. n NJ Hensley. In 1890, Hensley bought 10
acres OF land. giving his promissory note for
the purchase money. The Boone County Bank
afterwards bought the note and in an action
upon 1t received judgment and had an execu-
ton issued thereon. to be levied upon the land.
Hensley, thereupon. filed his schedule, claim
Ing the property to be exempt because it was
his homestead. Upon a hearing in the Searcy
circuit court ii was admitted that the Judgment
was for the purchase money OF the land; that
he was married man; a resident of the state
and the land was his homestead. The question
involved is, was the land subject to the execu-
ton: Mr.. Justice Battle said in part: THE
constitution OF this state ordains that the
homestead OF any resident OF this state who Is
married or the head of family. shall not be
subject to the lien of any judgment or decree of
any court, or to sale under execution, or other
process thereon. except such as may be rem
dered Tor the purchase money or for SPECIFIC
liens, etc. The statutes do not enlarge or
Change the exemptions allowed by the ConSti-
tuition. and only provide how they may be
Claimed. The Constitution in providing that
homesteads shall not be exempt from sales for
the purchase money does not undertake to
create liens but to deny to the debtor the right
to hold his homestead exempt from sales under
execution issued on judgments for the pur-
chase money which he owes for the same, and
to subject IL TO sale in such cases No man has
right to hold property, for which he is owing
his creditor in any such manner. No such dis
honesty Is tolerated by the Constitution"
