stolen from the local company's ar.
senal, drove dozens of negroes from
town.
Reckless firing broke several plate
glass windows and a train was fired
into. None of the passengers was
hurt. The local hardware stores sold
out their arms early. The mob was
composed of n thousand or more, and
no masks were worn. Thirty negro
families were driven from theii
houses.
After noon the excitement died
down, the mob gradually dispensing,
more from lack of negroes upon whom
to wreak their hatred than for any
other cause. Every negro has left the
town except a few railway porterS
known to be respectable, but these
must also leave.
1t is now believed that the man.
William Cooley, 'ynched, was not the
real culprit. A negro named Stark
under arrest at Tulsa, Ind. Ter, across
the border from here, tailed exactly
with the description of the. assailant.
He was held there awaiting identifca-
ton.
Eugene Barrett, also known as Car
ter, in a confession while a rope was
around his neck, accused Joe Lark, n
Frisco railroad porter, Of being i'm
plicated in the crime. and Lark was
arrested at Springfield. Later Lark
gave a detailed statement as to his
whereabouts Sunday, and he is not be-
lieved to be guilty.

Three Wounded.

Three men were woundSd in a
shooting affray at Parkdale. 1t seems
that Frank Barnes was little bois-
ferrous on the streets and Deputy Sher-
iff Atkins was asked to arrest him.
G. P. George volunteered to assist At
kins in the arrest. Atkins procured
shotgun from one of the stores, pro-
ceeded down the street to await the
coming of Barnes. AS Barnes was
passing up the street George caught
his horse by the bride and pulled a
revolver. when both began firing.
George emptied his revolver. missing
every shot. Barnes only having three
loads, fired at George twice. one but
let taking effect in his leg. Then see
ing that Atkins was about to shoot
with shotgun he fred at him and At
kins fell to the ground. his gun being
discharged in the air without damage.
After empting the gun at George and
Atkins. he threw his empty gun at
George. George also threw his emp
ty gun at Barnes. Robert Norwood,
relative of George, then carried an
other shotgun to Atkins and he fired
at Barnes, the load taking effect in
his shoulder. Barnes having no more
ammunition. had wheeled his horse to
get out of the way and was shot in
the back.

The Sweetest OF All,

Mr.. Alexander Simpson had been
elected to the Office of president of the
Philadelphia Bar association, his law.
yer friends went to his house and Of
fered him their congratulations
Mr.. Simpsons small son was in the
room, and for several minutes he
watched the scene with round eyes
Then he made his way through the
crowd until he reached his fathers
side.
A gentleman had just said: 81 con.
gratulate you, Mr.. simpson," when
the newly-elected president felt n tug
at his coat tails. Looking down, he
saw his son.
"Well, what is II, my boy?" he asked
81 love you, papa!" piped tiny
voice, in reply.
Overcome with feeling, the father
lifted up his son and kissed him, then
set him down. As the little fellow
trotted off the men nearest Mr.. Simp
son extended their hands in silence
Conventional congratulations some.

Two Mon Frozen to Death.

John Gray and Brugman Jarrett,
colored, cotton pickers on Phillips
county farm, were frozen to death one
night recently. The men quit work
about dark and started home through
the rain. Coming to stream they
had to cross to reach their place of
abode, they found 1t greatly swollen
and began hunting place to reach
the other side. Night overlook them
and they lost the way. They walked
all night, and, wet to the skin, the
blizzard came upon them. Gray gave
out and Jarrett packed him on his
back for an hour. Finally he had to
leave his companion to his fate. Early
in the morning, his cries were heard
and rescuers came to his aid. They
found the stiff body Of Gray in a hol-
low log, into which he had crawled
head foremost, while Jarrett was
scarcely any better off and died soon
afterwards.

To the People of the State of Arkan-

Whereas, On the 10th day Of No
vember, 1901, petition was present
ed to me from Hampstead county, in
this state, asking for the pardon of
one Walter Lee, indicted and convict
ed for the illegal selling of whisky;
and,
Whereas, Upon said petition ap-
pears the names Of the sheriff of the
county, the clerk of the county, the
prosecuting attorney and the names
of many good citizens asking for said
pardon; and,
Whereas, 1t has since developed
that the majority, if not all, of the
said signatures are forgeries. signed
without the consent or knowledge OF
the parties, and to prevent future i'm
positions of this character being per-
petrated upon this office, make and
publish this as rule, which shall
govern the granting Of pardons here
after:
The applicant or his attorney shall
deposit petition for pardon with the
circuit clerk Of his county fifteen
days, subject to the inspection Of the
general public, and shall post no.
tice of this fact upon the courthouse
door, conspicuously, for that length Of
time, calling attention that the appli-
cation Of the parties named Is then
in the hands of the circuit clerk, sub
ject to the inspection of the citizens
of that county. after which it will be
presented for consideration to the
governor.
No application for pardon will be
considered by this Office unless this
rule has been strictly complied with
and the certificate Of the circuit clerk
showing that the requirements of this
rule have been complied with.
