ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Two Children Asss.sinated.

An assassina ton occurred the other
day in Sewer county. AS the result of
q raid made by moonshiners Reed
Jones, six years old, is now in his
grave, and his brother, William, aged
10, is dangerously injured.
Letters detailing the particulars of
the tragedy have been received by Il.
c. Jones, of Little Rock, brother of
John w. Jones, father of the boys.
Jones went to Sewer county original
ly in 1857, and located about seven
miles northeast of Lockesburg and
about 25 miles from the railroad. Here
he purchased farm and proceeded to
make living for his family. His
honesty, however, incurred for the
family the enmity of the moonshire
element, and when Jones and his son
William were summoned to appear be-
fore the grand jury they were plainly
told that if they swore the truth they
would be killed. At the same time
protracted meeting was in progress in
the neighborhood, and strenuous ef-
forts were made to break up the meet
ing.
Jones, who was a close attendant
upon Inc StTNlCeS, anu W uO LUX d
more or less prominent part in all
moral movements in the community,
seemed to have been singled out as the
special object of enmity by the law
less element. Jones and his eldest son
knew too much and they were feared.
When they appeared before the grand
jury in the face of threats, they told
the truth as they knew it, and several
of the offenders were indicted for illicit
distilling. Jones feared trouble, but
did not think it would be visited upon
them in the terrible manner in which
it came.
Saturday night, August s, crowd
of ruffians surrounded the house and
poured a volley of shots into it, intend
ing to kill Jones and his ell dest boy.
but instead killed the child Reed and
fatally wounded William. J. R.
Hutcheson, justice of the peace, held
an inquest, and several suspects were
arrested, but all were released except
Jim Howard, a boy about eighteen
years old, who Is held to await the
grand jury.

HE'LL IN PANORAMA.

'Hell'' is a colossal panoramic pie ture, which is now approaching com- pletion, and is the work of some Hun- garian and Italian limners, whose com bined forces executed the elaborate tab1eau. He'll" promises to be as graphic an illustration of the sulphuric regions of the damned as the imagina- tion of those concerned in the awful conception will allow. Of course it will only be left as completely in the dark as heretofore relative to the actual scenic attributes and life and society in the regions of perpetual torment.
 Still the panorama is possessed of no mean artistic merit, and so thoroughly impressed are the painters with the ex- ceIlence of their internal achievements that they have decided to commission three of their number to repair to Rome to invite King Humbert to the show The belief prevails in artistic circles in Hungary that Humbert will respond favorably to the call, despite it's satanic and sulphuric associations, the more so as His Majesty has inti- mated his intention of visiting the Mill lennial exhibition in the autumn London Society.
