NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Killed His Wife.

A man named Tom Owens is un- der arrest, charged with the brutal murder of his wife near Texarkana. Owens went to town accompanied by his wife and little daughter, and sold some cotton, It is alleged that he drank freely of whisky and left for home. After crossing Red river, it is further alleged, he became en- ragged at something his wife said and proceeded to beat her over the head with a Winchester rifle, also using a knife and pair of knucks, gashing her head and face in d frightful manner. He then threw her from the wagon and getting out dragged her quarter of a mile in the woods, where he left her in a brier patch. He drove home then with his little girl and on arriving turned his team in the field and started back to town on foot, his child still accompanying him. Some negroes, who by some means learned of the doings of the drunken man, gave the alarm to the whites and search was made for the woman, who was in a dying condition when found.
