Sketch Of His Life as Prepared by
 Himself.

Many of our readers were person- ally acquainted with Rev.

Smith two years before the death cf the subject. In the last issue of the Arkansas Methodist Bro. Smith publishes an obituary of his deceased brother, using the sketch, which is as follows:
 II was born to Lewis and Eliza beth Coltrain Ritter, at Sparta, in Edgecomb county, North Carolina, May l6, l847 My mother died when l was about two years old. My father moved to St. Francis county, Ark ansas, in 1857, and from there 10 Sevier Chow Little River) county in 1859. l was led to conversion bv reading my mother Bible in 1866, and joined the NJ.

Ab T|lOlnaSOn
 is a Dead M an

Alb Thomason man we'll known to the people of Greene county lying dead at the undetakers establishment Of H. & Trce.
 He was shot to death last night just after midnight by Joe Thompson.
 The shooting occurred in upstairs Pruett street. formerly occupied by Jake Shippers pool and billiard room Witnesses the shooting J. H. Bryant Tom Tate, Dick Thomson and Bruner Thomson
 The dead mans anatomy is punctured with four bullet holes made by 38caber Smith Wesson One bullet en- tered head just above the left the left cheek one entered neck just under the shoulder blade and entered the body in the region of the heart Death ensued within few minutes after the shooting occurred.
 Coroner Norwood this morning summoned Jury for the purpose of holding inquest The uy after hearing the testimony of the witnesses above enumerated failed to on verdict whether the killing justifabe and re- ered case with the evidence before them to Justice A. Hays Justice Hays will undertake the hearing of the unt the of Prosecuting Attorney S h. Simpson, who is attending court in Mississippi county
 There have several baws between the two recent v and Thomson had threatened Thompson.
 Last night when the difficulty occurred the dead used anage according witnesses that too indecent for print He repeated the language three times applying to his slayer and at time placed his hand to his hip pocket and assumed threatening attitude The shots were fired very rapidly and either would, perhaps have proven fatal
 Thomson had been turbulent and quarresome character has had many encounters and has been several times severely wounded He of great physical strength of large newy frame and ordinary man could cope
 with him in rough and tumble fight lie knew no such word fear and the sight of the hands ot hls antagon M only increased his rage and made him defiant few ago shot by Charley Houston young man of the town the doctors pronounced his wounds fatal but he survived them
 Alb Thomason in his way clever good-hearted fel- low but his turbulent and overbearng dspostion especially when drinking involved him in trouble and the manner of his taking surprise to the people of this community where he has spent most e he being about 35 years age.
 He leaves young wife and child
 Tae Thompson surrendered himself to Night Marshal Law son few minutes after the shooting He expressed great re at the killing but says he could avoid iha he had to do it. He is under guard pending preliminary hearing It not probable under the evidence that Thompson will be convicted any degree of homicide than manslaughter if convicted at all.
 Thomson has been his residence today under guard and refused to be interviewed by the Soliphone.

Health Officer Woodward
Submits Report to Com
miSSiOnerS.
RECOMMENDS DRASTIC RULE
Proprietors of Such Places Should Be
Required to Give a Bond Conditioned
on Proper Maintenance of the Estab-
lishment-Names and Addresses of All
Employees Should Be Filed.

The District Health Officer, DR.. W. c.
Woodward. has submitted report to the
Commissioners upon the communication
of Major Sylvester. recommending the en-
actment of law TO regulate bath and
massage houses.
THE business of conducting bath and
massage houses says DR.. Woodward, lis
so distinct from the practice OF medicine
that it is, in my judgment, hardly rea-
sonable to require the would-be proprie
tor of such house to comply with the
law regulating the registration of physi-
clans. The alternate requirement that he
shall present an application for permits
sion to maintain his establishment, signed
by at least six physicians, ig less open
to criticism. It is, however, in my juds-
ment. questionable whether such endorse
nents would accomplish the purpose OF
this proposed law unless they entail some
liability on the endorsers.
at seems to me that the establishment
and maintenance of bath and massage
houses for improper purposes can be best
prevented. or at least restricted, by re-
quiring each proposed proprietor of such
an establishment to file with the Conn
missioners a bond conditioned on the
maintenance of his establishment for the
giving of baths or massage and for no
other purpose whatsoever, and on ite
maintenance in manner not contrary to
law nor detrimental to public morals.
Each such proprietor might, in addi
tion, be required to keep a register show
ing the full name, the age, and the pres
ent and the last previous residence of each
attendant and employe, and a register
showing the name and residence OF each
person receiving bath or massage, un-
less such person has presented written
order for such treatment from a duly
qualified practitioner of medicine.
Provision should be made for the prop
er preservation of such records for some
specified time and for their inspection
by the major and superintendent of po
lice, or any officer detailed by him to
make such inspection. Proper penalty
should be provided for the Justification
Of these records and for the unlawful
maintenance of such establishments"

GRIEVANCE OF THE SIOUX.
Alleged Violation of Stock Grazing
Agreement Argued in Equity Court.

Both sessions of Equity Court No.
yesterday. Justice Hagner presiding, were
taken up in hearing argument on the pc
tition OF Louis p. Primeau and others in
behalf of themselves and the members of
the Sioux Indian tribes residing on Stand
ing Rock Reservation. asking that the Sec
rotary OF the Interior and the Commission
er of Indian Affairs be restrained from
advertising certain of their lands for
lease.
The Indians claim that they entered
contract with the agents Of the Govern
ment allowing them to lease their land to
stockmen at the rate of 81 year for all
cattle turned on it to Craze. Instead of
doing this, they claim that the Govern
ment advertised the land for lease at the
rate of 81 per acre. Justice Hagner took
the matter under advisement.
