INVESTIGATION BEING MADE

Lest week a sensational ai1aT Waa
enacted near Pendleton between rep
resentatives OF two of tbe best fami-
lis in this section Of Arkansas which
almost resulted in the death OF
Maurice Quilting, who. it is alleged,
was assaulted and beaten into insensi-
bility by Jim and Clay Cross and
George Carr.
The Cross boys are sons Of Capt.
]. G. Cross, the convict contractor, and
Carr is warden Of the convict farm.
According to information received
in this city Mr.. Quilting was assaulted
in a cowardly and malicious manner
by the three men named for no reason
other than hatred
The account Of the affair." which
follows, was received from source
favorable to the Quilting side, and no
statement could be secured from the
Crosses.
The Graphic's information is that
Maurice Quilting and Jim Cross, Jr.,
had some little misunderstanding at
Red Fork, over negro that had been
arrested and taken to Red Fork for
trial Jim Cross, who is a deputy
sheriff. refused to take bond, notwith-
standing N. w Quilting Maurice
Quilting, Nh Sullivan, Mr.. Cheshires
and other responsible men offered to
go on his bond.
p;+far feolinoc u-ara anoandared hC-
tween Maurice Quilting and Jim Cross
as a result After the misunderstand-
ing at Red Fork young Quilting got
into his buggy with Mr. Caulk and
started for Pendleton At Medford Mr.
Caulk got out and Mr.. Quilting contin-
ued the journey alone At LenoX Lane,
a point just beyond Medford, Maurice
Quilting was accosted by Jim and
Clay Cross and George Carr, and the
attack was commenced in a cowardly
manner. jim Cross attracted his
attention by speaking to him
very pleasantly. and Clay Cross,
it is alleged, stepped up behind him
and knocked him senseless with
riding whip loaded with lead. Then
they dragged him from the buggy to
the ground and commenced to beat
him cruely. When Quilting recovered
consciousness both Cross boys were
on him beating him numerically, with
Carr standing by. 1t is stated that
they beat him over the head with pis-
tolls and driving whips until Carr i'm.
portuned the Crosses to stop. They
then shot at him once, made him get
up and walk home, while they rode
beside him with pistols.
1t is said that their intentions were
murderous and that Quilting had to
plead with them to spare his life.
The affair created a great sensation
in the neighborhood of Pendleton.
where both families have resided
many years.
Maurice Quilting. the victim of the
assault, is still in critical condition,
though his recovery is assured
Prosecuting Attorney w B. Sor--
rells went to Pendleton Sunday to in
vestigate the affair, and has not yet
returned.
None of the Cross family has
evinced a disposition to talk about the
affair. Capt. Cross was telephoned
today by Sheriff Mccoy, but he re-
fused to make any statement.

estimating and measuring men.
No man can be a leader OF great enterprise, can
stand at the mead Of great undertaking. unless he
knows men, unless he knows how to measure and
weigh them, to estimate their ability, and to place
them to the best advantage.
A bank president, a prominent man at the head
of many large enterprises, told the writer that he
owed his success to his nature instinct for selecting
men. He said that he had rarely made a mistake in
picking out man for responsible position and,
that after he had placed him, he gave him to under
stand that his whole reputation was at stake, and
that he should hold him absolutely responsible for
the success of the enterprise He said that after he
had selected and placed his men, it took compare

successfully, and that results very satisfactory.
Not everyone, however can place men properly.
Many able men have totally failed in great under

They have put at the head Of departmental or in

sighted statesmen of those days. including the astute
Webster, were then of the conviction that we had
almost reached our ultima thule in that direction.
When Charles Dickens made his first visit to Amer
lea in 1872 he farther West than Cincinnati
and evidently under the impression that he had
gone perliOusly the region of scalping knives
and tomahawks. But when Horace Greeley uttered
his famous "GO Westl" to young men, it was the
fertile praires of Nebraska and Kansas that he held
up as proper field for the exercise of their amib-
tiOns. Since Greeley's time ''going Vest has be-
come still more ambiguous meaning to go almost
anywhere in the country bounded by Chicago, San
Francisco Texas and the British line.
But now that all OF our national domain has been
explored settled and the last Of the territorial divi
siOns are about to be admitted states, it would
seem that the time has come when something like an
exact and definite meaning might be given to "the
West" Ina recent thoughtful and suggestive alb
dress the National Business League at Chicago our
new secretary Of the treasury, Mr.. Shaw, gave his
idea of what its metes and bounds should be- and
it seems to US that definition might we'll stand as
the correct one. Under this definition, the West
includes Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma,
and Indian Territory and all west Of these and north
and west of Texas. This leaves Ohio properly to be
classed among the Eastern stars, classifction to
which the East will certainly not object, since the
