 Throat Twice.

During the summer of 1893 Allen Martin, wen-to.do farmer of Sum merville, Calhoun county, was as eassinated in his cora field. 1t was generally believed that the murder was committed by a negro named Wiley Bum, who lived in the neigh boIhood, aud who had a grudge against Martin, and because he had skipped the country. The governor of Arkansas and citizens of Calhoun county offered large rewards for the capture of Bum, dead or alive.
 Ghas. Martin. relative of the de- ceased, and J. E. Witherington searched for him stubbornly Alter being out several days they returned and reported that they had discov- cred him in the Mississippi river bot toms and were eompelled q to kill him as the only means of effecting his capture. On their statement the re- wards were promptly paid them. But there was considerable doubt in the minds of many as to the dead man being Bum.
 Later two negroes named Ware were arrested and jailed as aceesso- ries. 4 mob formed, called on Sher- id Cone, demanded and received the keys to the iall They soon had the two negroes strung up and ri1died with bullets.
 The matter was then dropped, and 1t was rapidly fading from the peo- ple's mem ories, when it was revived last week by the real Wiley Bum surrenderfng himself to the officers in East St. Louis. stating he was being toFmented to death by the thought of his crime.
 Sheriff Furlow of Calhoun county, went to St. Louis last week secured Bum, and Saturday morning at 8 o'clock left with him over the St. Lotus Southwestern Ky, for For dYce, and from there to the Calhoun county jail at Hampton.

He bled greatly and almost to death be- fore doctors reached him. He was given every attention and improved some Sun 1ay, but the doctors say he cannot recover.
 The people of Calhoun county have sworn vengeance on the negro and say they will hang him if they get hold of him.
 Bum was brought through Pine Bluff this morning on thesouthbound passenger train No. 8, The train did not arrive until after o'clock, ow- ing to some misconnection made while enroute.
