ELLIS ROSE EXECUTED.
Murdered One of HIS Own Color and Paid
the Penalty with His Life.

Ellis Rose, colored. was hanged Fri
day, January 9, at Jonesbor0 by Sheriff
Collins. He made a rambling statement
on the scaffold. in which he expressed
the hope of his souls salvation. Rose
displayed remarkable nerve, but neither
confessed nor denied the crime for which
he was executed. He was tried in
Creighead county on a change of venue
from Crittenden, where the crime was
committed.
Rose was convicted at the October
term of the Craighead circuit court of
the murder of Henry Sutton, also coll
ored. June %, 1897, and sentenced to
hang December 10, but the governor
granted reprieve until January in
order to examine the evidence of his
guilt The crime was the result of a
feud of years standing, which orig
mated at a negro picnic, where Rose
and Sutton had difficulty. Rose and
negro named Lafayette Lucky (who
was sentenced to 81 years in the peni-
tentiary) went to Sutton's cabin and
induced him to accompany them into
the woods, on the pretext of hunting
for some horses, where their victim was
shot and beat into insensibility and left
in brush pile for dead. The murder
ers were not satisfied. however, that
Sutton had been done for, and returned
to the scene of the bloody work the fol-
lowing day, and found him still alive
According to the story told by Lucky
Sutton begged of Rose that his life be
spared, but the latter showed no mercy
and deliberately beat Sutton's brains
out with club.

heterogeneous ON Their Bftters not
Tolerated by United states Court.


The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge
Townsend presiding, handed down an opin-
ion December Odd, 1897 granting injunction
and accounting, in the suit of The Hostetter
Company against Isaac Sommers and Louis
Joseph, for infringement of its Trade Mark.
The jurist states in bold and clear language,
the rights accrung to the Hostetter Com
pany, and the liability incurred by all who
would rob them, by fraud or misrepresenta.
ton, of the well-earned reputation land
profits of a business built up by the efforts
of half century. The judge says, in part:
The complainant is entitled to protec-
ton against the appropriation of its trade
mark, by any and all unfair and dishonor-
able means, and court of equity has pow
er to grant such protection whenever il is
satisfied that an attempt has been made by
of an owner of trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individual
manufacturer, who strives to acquire and
retain the fruits of industry and hon.
esty, and the field of keen rivals, seeking
to wrest from him the prize of the public
goodwill, the inventive ingenuity OF the
infringer has conceived a great variety Of
devices for evading the established rules OF
fair dealing. Courts of equity find.
ing that their ultimate object and effect
were to enable and induce the retail seller Of
a fraudulent imitation to palm il off on an
unsuspecting public for the genuine article,
and thus to contribute to the infringement
upon the rights OF the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"
