AN OFFICER SHOT.
Mr. Will Eagle, Jr.. of Lonoke, Shot
by and Escaped Culprit


Particulars have just reached the
city of shooting ARRAY last Sun
day AFTERNOON near the home of Mr..
John Weldon, a few miles from
Wabbaseka, that may result serious
ly for one of the parties, at least.
1t seems that Mr.. VIII Eagle, Jr.,
son of Hon. w. Ii. Eagle, a repre-
sentative of Lonoke county in the
last two Legislatures, and q Consta-
Bile from Louoke county, were in
the vicinity of Wabbaseka looking
for some parties for whom they had
warrants of arrest. They did not
find the parties for whom they were
looking, but ran across d negro at
Wabbrseka, named John Mcclure,
whom Eagle recognized as man
who had had difficulty in Lonoke
county some two years ago aud had
fled, from arrest. Without a war
rant Young Eagle and his compan
on started back to Lonoke
county with him. When the par
ties got near Mr.. John Weldon s
place the negro stopped and said to
the Offices: 81 don't propose to go
any further. know what you will
do with me if you take me back, and
you might as well kill me here as
there.
When he refused to go any fur
Their young Eagle pulled out his pis-
toll and begun beating the negro
over the he d, when the pistol fell
out of his hand and on to the
ground. Quick as a flash Mcclure
picked up the weapon and placed it
against Eagles breast, but the
weapon did not fire. Stepping a
few feet back Mcclure again pulled
the trigger, when the weapon dis
charged, the ball taking effect in
Eagles shoulder.
Mcclure then beat a hasty retreat
and fed through the woods aad
across the broad cotton fields to his
home, carrying Eagles pistol in
hand.
Eagle was taken to home in the
neighborhood, a local physician
summoned and the injured man s
wounds dressed.
Our information is that both
Eagle and his companion were
drunk and behaved themselves in
such an unseemly and unbecoming
manner as to excite the disgust of
the neighbornood whece the shoot
ing occurred.
Mcclure has not been arrested.

TO MEET WEDNESDAY TO NOM
MATE A FULL STATE
TICKET.
Bland Declines to Allow His Name
Mentioned For Governor and
l.. " Stephens will Prob.
ably be Nominated.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-The Democrats of
st. Louis are preparing for an exodus
to Jefferson City next week for the
State convention which will assemble
on Wednesday for the nomination of
Il full State ticket. The convention
promises to be unusually we'll attend
ed despite tue fact that there will be
no drawing-card in the way of con-
test for the head of the ticket 1t is
practically conceded that Lon V.Steph-
ems will receive the nomination for
Governor on first ballot. There has
been all along, and still is, talk of
forcing the nomination of Bland, but
the mistaken determination of the
latter not to allow his name to be pre-
scented TO the convention renders Mr..
Stephens nomination practical GER
tainty. Concerning the makeup of
the remainder of the ticket there ex-
lists much doubt, particularly as re-
CARDS the Lieut. oyernorshlp, Su.
preme Judgeship and Attorney Gen
ship. For each of these places there
is from two to five candidates men
toned, and so far the indications are
that it is no mans race. The hottest
fight, however, will be for the nomina-
ton for Railway and Warehouse Com
missioner, for which there are no less
than dozen candidates in the field.

CRITICAL.
Is the Condition Of the Cotton Crop,
Say S. C. Alexander & Co.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, July 30, 1896.
Gentlemen:-We do not mean to
be sensational or unduly alarmed
but the cotton crop of this State is
in critical condition. We have
had no general rain since the 18th
of April. Local showers up to the
lst or July kept the plant IN fair
condition, but in no fix to stand a
continued hoC spell; since the 1st of
July we have been without the local
showers, and the weather is very
hot. The temperature during the
day in the Pine Bluff, Fort Smith,
Little Rock and Helena districts has
been in the neighborhood of 100 de-
grees for two weeks, and the gov
eminent report from Little Rock
and Fort Smith for several days was
100, 101 and 102 degrees.
A hot Southwest wind is blowing,
and vegetation of all kinds is drying
up. The forest trees in the terri
tory that missed the local showers
since April 18th are dying in large
numbers, and the Oldest inhabitants
tell us that this is the longest hot
spell we have had for 20 years.
The temperature in our Office at 2
p. N. today is % degrees.
Farmers in many places in the hill
country have lost their corn, peas,
potatoes and cotton. The large
corn crop of last year stimulated
the raising of more stock Of al
kinds, but with the present outlool
there will be little made to feeC
them. A general rain would be /;
great blessing, but it is now impos
sib'e to repair all the damage done
and if it remains dry with the pres
ent temperature 10 to Is days long
err, we could not estimate thl
damage.
Yours Respectfully,
S. C. ALEXANDER & Co.
