THE NASTARDLY DEED
Of a Negro Brute In Plum
Bayou Township Sat-
urday Night.
BROKE HIS WlFE's NECK FOR NO
APPARENT CAUSE
WHATEVER.
Had Threatened to Take Her Life at
Various Times and Finally Made
Good His Threat.
HELD OVER TO THE GRAND JURY

Guarded by Deputy Constable Jim
Holcomb. of Plum Bayou township,
VIM. Ward, negro living on the Bar
rett plantation near Sheriff., was
brought to the city this morning and
committed to jail His crime was one
OF the most revolving in the history
OF Jefferson county.
Without any known provocation he
murdered his wife, Lena Ward, last
Saturday night about II o'clock by
breaking her neck. The CHASTITY meth
Of the crime is plainly indicated by
huge indentures on her neck made by
his fingers.
Full particulars of his crime have
not been obtained yet. but enough is
known of it to prove that it was one
of extreme Nervousness.
Before the coroner's jury and Cor
oner McMcGaughey, the testimony
tended to show that Ward had threat
ened to kill his wife on several occa-
cions. The last threat he made was
on the morning of the day that he kill
ed her One witnes testified that Oil
the morning state she had told a
neighbor that she was coming over to
see her She had just recovered from
a serious sickness and the neighbor
told her that if she ventured out OF
the house it would cause her death.
Wards wife replied that if she stayed
at home her husband would kill her
anyway, that he had threatened to do
so, and it made no difference whether
or not she left the house. Later re
suits proved only too We'll how he car
ried out his threat.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
was that the deceased came to her
death at the hands of her husband by
| breaking her neck in some manner.
The examining trial was held Mon
day before Esquire j. G. Dalton, Of
Plum Bayou, and Ward was held to
await the action of the next grand

ton extended to Senator Tillman, OF
South Carolina, to attend the dinner
given last night in honor of Prince
Henry of Prussia at the White House.
It is stated that this action on the
part of the president was made nee
essary from the fact that it was due
to the occurrences on the floor of the
senate last Saturday. when the sena
tor from South Carolina was declared
in contempt of the senate.
Senator Martin. of Virginia, a mem
ber of the committee on naval affairs
accepted an invitation in Mr.. Till
mans place The invitation was ex
tended originally to Mr.. Tillman ow-
ing to the fact that he is the ranking
minority member Of the naval affairs
committee.
There was sensational sequel to
the decision of the president to elimi-
nate Senator Tillman from the list of
dinner guests. The president sent for
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, and
asked him as friend and Democratic
colleague of Mr.. Tillman to suggest to
the latter the propriety of withdraw
ing his acceptance of the dinner invi-

tation. The president explained his
attitude in the matter and said that in
view of the contempt proceedings Mr..
Tlllman's presence would not only be
an affront to the senate but dis
courtesy to Prince Henry. Mr. Cock
rell accepted the commission and lat
er telephoned to the president that
Mr.. Tilman absolutely refused to with
draw his acceptance in reponse to the
presidents suggestion. The president
Immediately cancelled the invitation

was invited to take Mr.. Tillman's

FRUITLESS SEARCH
AT ALTHElMER BY PINE BLUFF
OFFICERS
For the Three Desperadoes Who
Walked Two Little Rock Officers
Out of Town,

There are no new developments in
the strange Little Rock affair chror-
icled in Mondays Graphic, except that
several Pine Bluff officers returned
from Altheimer this morning, where
they went on a fruitless search for the
three desperadoes.
This step was taken on account of
message received late Monday night
from the Little Rock officers. They
telephoned the local police headquar-
ters that in their opinion the three
men were working towards Althei-
mer to reach the main line of the
Cotton Belt The message was sent
to Deputy Sheriff A. T. Loving, who
soon collected a posse, consisting OF
himself, Deputy Constable Mason
Philpot, Deputy Sheriff Pleas Culpep-
per and Special Officer Chas. Chad.
dick. The posse caught the Cotton
Belt local leaving here about O'Clock
and went to Altheimer,, returning
again on the Altheimer branch.
The officers made thorough in
vestigaton of the affair, but could get
no information which would lead
them to believe that the three desper
ADDE'S had been at Altheimer.
The affair continues to be the chief
topic of speculation around police
headquarters and sheriff's office.

The most elaborate banquet ever given in Valdez was that rendered to General A. w. Greedy by a number of the leading citizens of this place last Thursday evening at the Tillikum Club. About forty guests were present and the evening was enjoyed by all.
 Judge Goodell acted as toast master in a most befitting manner. Speeches were made by Judge Lyons, Gen. Greedy, Governor Lee dy, Capt. Wilson, F. A. Helm, and B. F. Willard. The speeches were all excellent, especially those of Gen. Greeley and Capt. Wilson.
 General Greedy was greatly pleased with the banquet and while he makes no promises, Valdez is sure of a friend in the distinguished soldier.

Death on the Trail.

While trying to go from Resurrec- tion bay to Sunrise, a survey party for the proposed "Centrrl Alaska Rrilroad," met with many dangers and difficulties. Upon reaching Kenai lake some of the party began to build raft. while two of the party, s. Trenholm and J. D. Hew- it were detailed to the bay for provisions. The trip was too much for Trenholm, for when he reached the Jerome Hatchey cabin on Trail creek he became suddenly i'll and died in short time. The body was too heavy for Hewitt to handle and so was left in the cabin for the next arrivals to bury. Tren- holm was from Port Elgin N. B. Hewitt was aboard the Santa Ana enroute for his home in Seattle.
