THE MAN HE MURDERED
Bum Surrenders Himself to Officers in St. LOuis-Bunn's Story
 of His Wanderings

A murder comm fitted oyer SIX years ago in Calhoun county, Arkan- sas, and which is still fresh in the memory of many people of this State and Pine Bluff. has again come to light.
 The murderer, who escaped after the tragedy, is now in jail at East St. Louis. He is a negro and his name is Wiley Bum.
 Tuesday afternoon Bum walked into the Chief of Police office in St. Louis and said he wanted to be locked up and answer for the crime of the murder of Mi. Allen Martin, a prominent planter of SummerYille Calhoun county. The police thought he was crazy, but they finally de termined that be was in earnest.
 Bum told the officers a long story of bis wanderings after he commit ted the murder. Following is a part of same:
 After killing Martin walked all night and hid in a swamp at dawn and stayed there until night. ] ate wild vegetables and drank the water in pools. I made sixty miles in two nights. l laid low for awhile, and then went to cutoff on the Missis- sippi river near Monticello. There was arrested for tAe murder Of Mar tin, but there were several mistakes in my description and was released. From there l went to Memphis, where l worked for awhile. found my brother John there. He knew me and was afraid of me. He show ed me letter to him from my wife. She told him that had killed Mar tin and asked him to go down to the farm and take my place until I came back. He asked me what he should do and told him to go down there. l left his house that night and began

DUG THEIR WAY OUT OF THE PULASKI COUNTY
 JAIL.
WERE GOVERNMENT MEN.
Their Names We're Sim Radcliff, COlOred, and J. T. Burrus,
 White.

Two government prisoners, sale keepers in the Pulaski county iail, made theIr escape at 2 o'clock this morning. With five others they were confined on tie top floor of the jail. With the aid of piece of tin from coffee cup one of the men dug the mortar from between the bricks in the west wall under the sink. They had evidently been working for several days. A hole about foot in diameter was made and short rope let down. From an adjacent window rope of four blankets was tied together. After crawling through the hole they grasped the rope and slid to the ground.
 Jailor Nowlin heard the noise and got to window just in time to see them run around the corner of the Jail. He fired on shot without effect except to prevent the others from escaping. The escapes decended to the railroad and probably crossed the river. The police were notified to be on the lookout.
 The negro is named Sim Radcliff and was awaiting trial for robbing a postoffice in Jefferson county. He has been in jail since February 2 and is described as being five feet six inches high, weight l45 pounds, black, big, thick lips, keen eyes, showing considerable white. The other is J. L. Bnrrus, white, await lng trial in federal court for robbing a postofice in Hot Spring county. He has been ia the jail since May 3. He is described as five feet. seven inches high, weight 160 pounds; smoothfaced, dark complexion, black hair, black and heavy eyelashes and downcast look. He is Jwenty-four years old.-Ark. Gaze3te.

In connection with this sad affair 1t might not be out of place to drop few thoughts for the benefit of sur rounding cities who seem to think that Hot Springs is the dumping place for all cases of affliction, coup led with Restitution. 1t is true that Hot Springs ih mecca for the fflict- ed, but at the same time 1t ia also fact that it would be out of the question for this city to attempt to care for all the objects of charity that daily arrive here. The Home for the Friendless. the Barry hospital and many charitable socleties are always taxed to their utmost to support those who are most deserV- ing of help. Our eitizens do ali they can to aid the poor and afflicted. but if all applicants for charity were car ed fer that come here of their own accord, together with those who are shipped in from just such unreason- ing towns as Pine Bluff. 1t would not only rob our own deserving poor, but would very soon seriously cripple the business interests of the city. 1t is, of course, a duty we owe to our God and humanity to do all we can toward alleviating the wants 0i poor and suffering fellow-mortals, and it may be said that Hot Springs truly does her share to this end.

PINE BLUFF-H0T SPRINGS SENTINEL FLIES OFF
 THE HANDLE.
D. L. REEVES THE CAUSE.
Our Officers Sent Him to the Valley at His Own Request-Had
 Relatives There.

We clip the following item from the Hot Springs Sentinel:
 Some time the fore part of last week a poor afflicted tramp arrived in Pine Bluff. As the dispatches from that city stated, he was one of the worst cases of abiect pity and char fly ever coming under the observa- tiOn of the Pine Bluff authorities. He had had an operation performed some years ago, for a throat trouble which necessitated the insertion of a silver tube in the cricroid cartilage just below what is known as the Adam s apple This tube, it appears had recently come out and in breath ing the air would pass entirely through this ghastlY hole in the poor fellows neck, which had start ed a fungus growth in the affected place. The only way he could talk so as to be understood was to hold bis hand over the hole. (which was as large as d half d0llar) and then a hissing, gutterat sound would ac- company his articulation. He had 0 people living closer than Georgia and the authorities of our enterprise ing sister city knew not what to do with their charge; but they very soon hit upon plan to ship him over to this city on the excursion coming in Sunday morning. They knew that the poor man would have to be cared for through charity, but Pine Bluff shouldn't assume that responsibility, Hot Springs was the place where he could be dumped quite easily and at small expense, thus soliloquized the wise and philantbropic officers of Pine Bluff and so it happened.
 When the excursion train pulled in Sunday morning the poor fellow was at once observed by the officers, who took him in charge. After questioning him as to why he came here, he repeated the facts as given above In regard to being sent by the authorities of Pine Bluff. Our officers telegraphed to Pine Bluff, finding that to be true, and deter mined to send him back or the same train. But he was not taken into GU tody and nothing more was heard of him until about , o'clock yesterday morning, when Night Watchman William Trammell saw a man. which turned out to be our subject. walk deliberately up to the brick wall in front of $.

The Liberia Rubber Syndicate Ii
Paying n Handsome Royalty
to the Government.

London, November i1.--Aftor twenty-five
years OF bankruptcy, Americas first colony,
Liberia is now habllitated, and her public
dept will be paid. In 1871 Liberia hoated n
loan of s5cooco. chiefly in England, but three
years later the little republic failed to NEE,
the interest and this condition OF affairs has
prevailed ever since, until now Liberia s
fiscal agents in London have announced that
the government is once more able TO meet
its obligations This step was rendered
feasible by new source of revenue derived
from rubber, and the interest which the
bondholders despaircd OF getting is now be-
ing paid from tho royalties turned into the
government OF tho republic by the Lberian
rubber syndicate, an essentially English con-
Germ. The Associated Press learns mat the
arrears of interests are practically swept
away, as the bonGhonders agree to accept
a comparatively small sum oil $4,000 in set
llemeut of the full amount of the arrears,
though this appropriation will not be APP

The encroachments of the French upon It's
territory have caused no little disquietudc

SERIOUS SITUATION.
There May We a Clash Between Rus
sia and Japan.


STA and Japan.
Victoria, 3. c., November n.--That the
rumors of the serious situation between
Russia and Japan are not exaggerated
seems certain from news received here
The North China Daily News says: so
greatly excited were the Chinese of tho
North by the rumors of an impending
war between Russia and Japan that many
merchants. both Chinese and Japanese,
who are doing business in New Chwang,
Port Arthur and Che Foo, have sent their
families to Shanghai and elsewhere in
the South for safety"
1t is believed Japan rather courts the
struggle, as she is now second to Englan'
in naval strength and for years has viewed
the Entertainments with resentment.
