The Work of Eisnus,

One of the most coldblooded and heartless crimes of record in this state was committed at Hot Springs one night recently. As Mir. T. J. Will son, visitor from Omaha was en route to his hotel he was knocked down by two men and robbed of $175. He was then gagged and led to a point near the depot, where a train ready to pull out was standing. the robbers going on the dark side to escape detection. When the train started up the williams deliberately pushed Wilson under the cars Though blindfolded and unable to make an outcry, Wilson managed to throw his body from the track. but the wheels passed over his left leg, mashing it to pulp just below the knee A party stopping at the same hotel with Wilson stated he overheard a conversation between G. C. James and (. D. Etu. in which they were con sidering d plan to rob Wilson and murder him. and then throw his body ill the Ouachita river This party, as well as James and Esu, was ar rested. When the two latter were taken before Wilson he identified them as his would-be murderers. For a time it looked as though the two men would fall victims of Judge Lynch, but cooler judgment prevailed and they will likely be given long term in the penitentiary. unless some thing turns up to show their innocence of the crime
