fair way, after being taken to the po-

for lack of sufficient evidence to hold
him when his faithful dog, which he
had trained to fetch and carry, trotted
into the station, wagging it's tail, with
the missing purse in its mouth.-Paris

from his wife, rumor having arisen Of

opening a book, his eyes fell on the

live," which line he incorporated in his
song.

Double Hanging,

s.ill Blacn and Henry Wilson,
 eth colored, were hanged at Mag
 .olia on the 10th inst. for the mur-
 Ter of lvey Young, a white farmer, May g, 1900. About 9 o'clock Young was called to his door and shot down by mysterious assassin. Black and Wilson were arrested on the Hervey Stearnes' place An in- quest was held and the negroes con- fessed, duplicating Stearnes, a white man, who was subsequently, tried and acquitted, Black and Wilson retract- ing their former confession. After their own conviction, however, the negroes reiterated their first con fession. According to their story, Stearnes had a grudge against Young and induced them to go to the house at night and kill him. They failed to go on the first night appointed, and May B Stearnes went with them to the house, so they allege, and spurred them on to fire the fatal shots The negroes pointed out with minuteness of de- tail the positions in which they stood and the route they took after the killing. Black was only IF years of age. In d statement made and sworn to before d justice of the peace two days before tie execution, Will son stated that the reason that lie swore on the witness stand that Stearnes had nothing to do with the murder was that he was promised if Stearnes was acquitted that the latter friends would see that his sentence was committed in case he was convicted. Black made substan- tially the same statement.

Legislatures are ridiculed i'll nearly every state and the reason for 1t is that some of the members introduce some very silly measures, such as the Carlock dram drinkers license bill. These fool things are published ali over the United States and bring Arkansas into disgrace. One silly thing like this bill will cause more ridicule and disgrace than all the wisdom and intelligence of the state can correct in years.
