A COWARDLY MURDER
Jim Cross Shot to Death at Pennington by
Martin Nash, Colored

Wednesday evening about 8 o'clock
J. c. Cross, Jr., son of Col. ]. C. Cross,
contractor for the Jefferson county
conVicts, was shot and killed instantly
at Pendleton, Desha county
Telephone lines are down between
this point and Pendleton, and only
meagre details gathered from different
sources are obtainable.
1t is said that Cross was cowardly
assassinated by negro cook of the
name of Martin Nan, an employe Of
Nj Maurice Quilting.
Facts leading up to the killing are
not easily obtainable, but it is known
that bad blood existed and had ex-
listed for a number of weeks between
the negro and the deceased
Persons acquainted with the Cross
and Quilting families assert that the
ecent trouble between the two fam
lies had nothing to do with the as
assination, and that the deceased had
iouble with Nash before the trouble
With young Quilting.
1t is said that the killing was a pre-
neditated assassination. A large
crowd was at the boat landing, as
here always is when the boat is leav-
ing. Just as the boat had steamed
away, the report of shot gun rang
out. and Jim Cross fell to the ground
shot to death, his body pierced by
a dozen buckshot.
Great excitement was caused by the
killing. The dead man was taken to
he Cross home Efforts were at once
set about to capture the assassin, but
he escaped.
The remains of the deceased were
sent to Little Rock on the early train
this morning, where the interment
will occur today.
The negro, it is said, is a desperate
character, and on more than one oc-
.asion has had trouble. Only short
time ago he fired the contents of
gun into the stockade on the Cross
convict farm and later it is said, drew
a gun on Col. Cross.

made to run Nash down.
The Lucille Nowland arrived at the
wharf here this morning. A Graphic
representative went on the boat to see
If any details of the tragedy could be
secured. One of the officers OF the
boat gave the reporter a graphic ac-
count of the tragedy, as seen from the
boat.
Just prior to the shooting the gang
way of the boat had been pulled in
and the boat had steamed away from
the landing. When about four lengths
above the landing two shotgun reports
were heard and seen from the boat.
In an instant eight CT ten pistol shots
rang cut
Without stopping, though specula-
ton was rife on the boat as to the
nature of the shooting, the Nowland
continued on until the next landing
was reached, which was about mile
above Pendleton. Among the passen-
gers on the boat w2s Mrs. Cross. Col.
Cross, her husband and Clay. Jim and
Flournoy Cross, her sons, were at
Pendleton landing, and on hearing
the shots she became worried and de.
sired to get off the boat ct the first
landing. When the boat came to a
stop she got off and started toward
Pendleton landing. Just as she dis.
appeared out cf sight CT the boat
Floulnoy Cross hailed the CAPTAIN and
desired to know whether or not his
mother was aboard. He was inform
ed that she had Just gotten off. Flour
noy Cross then related the tragedy to
the people on the boat, civ.
ing them the first informa-
ton. The Graphic's informant
stated that prior to leaving PendIe-
ten landing he had seen negro
standing around holding a double bar
relied shot gun in his hands, and had
remarked to others on the boat con-
cerning it,
1t is understood that Col. Cross has
offered reward of $500 for the cap
ture of Mesh.

Mrs. Wilson was seen by a Graphic
representative this morning regard
ing her mission TO Pine Bluff and
though she spoke with some restraint
she gave the reporter the following
story of her claim to a share in the
OSullivan estate:
Her father was Rober OSullivan, a
brother of F. O'Sullivan He was the
first of the O'Sullivans to come to
America, coming here in the '40's. F.
O Sullivan and Mortimer O'Sullivan
followed. Her father, Roger O'SulI

Michigan, early i'll the 10s. This III
formation MAS secured from party
interested in the division of the es-
tate. From this information and from
the fact further that the man who
claims to be Mortimer Sullivan can
give no account of his baptism and
his church. she says, reads her to be
lieve that the. Mortimer O'Sul1iv;n
who now is in the lead for the estate
is an imposter. She says that if he is
Eel real uncle. as he claims. she
would gladly recognize him and his
rights in the division of the estate.
There are other legitimate heirs she
says. three in number, living in New
York, who are tho children of Daniel
and Elizabeth Sullivan. brother and
sister of OsSul]ivan, who died in Ire
land, and there are two or three other
children who still reside in Ireland
Shortly after her uncle's death here
she engaged the services of Little
Rock attorney to look after her inter
ests in the case, and depended solely
on him. but she claims that her inter
ests were neglected. She will engage
local attorney and intends to delve
to the bottom of the case until she
shows her right to share of the
estate.

Democratic Platform EecIared for the

HE is CLAIMED BY BOTH SIDES

4 special telegram TO the ST. Louis
Republic from Washington SAYS:
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chair
man of the Democratic national conn
mittee, holds it within his power %
vote the decision of tn" momcntous
question whether or not America shall
build an interoceanic canal.
Panama is claiming him; Nicaragua
admits that he is waVering.
If he votes on Thursday according
to his party PLATFORM he will east his
decision with Nicaragua According
to the polls Of the leaders on both
sides, this would swing victory in
favor of Ncaraguan route on an 18TH
mian canal If he votes according TO
his present intention, for the Spooner
substitute, it will be accepted and
there will be no canal for many years
to come.
Senator Jones was in command at
the Democratic nai,onai convention
in 1900. when this plank was framed
anu duOJlcu ny llc tohVtllllOu ibdCl
the heading Nicaragua Canal
I'VE favor the immediate construc-
ton, ownership and control of the
Nicaragua canal by the United States,
and we denounce the insincerity of the
plank in the Republican national plat
form for an isthmian canal in the face
of the failure of the Republican ma
jority to pass the bill pending in con-
gress.
The Panama poll eliminating Sena
tor Rawlins and claiming Senator
Jones, is forty-four to forty-five in
favor of Panama.
According to the Nicaraguan claim,
Senator Jones could settle the ques-
ton by voting according to his own
platform and previous prmises. Ac
| crding to the Panama claim, Senator
Jones, by voting for Nicaragua would
make the vote tie, or fOrty-three to
| forty-three for the Spooner substitute,
on which the test will be made would
! fail. With the Spooner substitute,
defeated the vote would then come on
the Hepburn bill, and it is admitted
| by both sides that in that event the
| measure would pass by a safe majority,
| because the Republican party would
| not dare to go before the country with.
| out any canal legislation.
In it's report of the senate proceed
ings Wednesday the Associated Press
says:
At the conclusion of Mr.. Carmack's
| remarks the isthmian canal question:
was laid before the senate. Mr.. Jones
| of Arkansas believed it to be the duty
| of every senator to vote for the canal
at the best location. He favored the
Panama route, but would not vote for it
| if there were any doubt of the good
faith of the offer.

Brilliant idea of Lieut.. Gilmore
While Captive Among the PHIL
1ppine Insurgents.

Gen. Macarthur, despite his distinc-
ton and his many successes, modestly
prefers to speak the praises of others.
To a naval officer whom he enter
tanned at Manila some time ago he told
a story about Lieut.. j. c. Gilmore, U. s.
N, who was captured with seven men
of the Yorktown at Baler, Luzon is
land, in April, 1899, by the Philippine
insurgents and held prisoner for
months in the mountains.
One of the prisoners who spoke Span
ish fluently was commanded to trans
late into English decoy letters ad-
dressed ''To Whom 1t May Concern, .
stating that the bearers were warm
friends of the Americans and had
failed in aiding them to escape only be-
cause of the vigilance of the insurgent
guards.
''It was the intention" said Gen. Mac
Arthur, ''to have these letters used
whenever the bearers might be cap
tured by our forces, and also as pass
ports for spies. Those experimenting
this literary coup had sufficient knowl-
edge of English to make out the gen.
eral sentiment of the document.
Lieut.. Gilmore insisted continued
the general, according to the Phila-
delphia Post, chat as chief officer
among the prisoners he be given the
privilege of looking over what had
been written. Nodding approval over
each letter he added to each the word

"the unbounded admiration it ere
ated for the resourcefulness of Lieut..
