Tragedy In Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark. September IL.
Representative G. l.. Pool Of
Calhoun coUnty was in the city Co.
night and related meager partieu-
lars of bloody tragedy which oe-
cured IN the western part of Co
lumbla county last night. M
POOLS informant was unable to
give the names of the parties, but
related the facts about rs follows:
A citizen Of the county sold a
tract of land for $500 cash Monday,
and two of his neighbors, being
aware of the transaction, went to
his home the following evening and
proposed an opossum hunt. Not
suspecting any harm, the man who
had the $500 in his house departed
with his neighbors. Soon after
ward peddler drove ap to the
house and requested lodging for
the night. The housewife, think
lng her husband would soon return
frem his hunt, told the peddler to
take his team to the barn and re-
turn to the house, which he did in a
short time. When he reached the
dwelling he found what appeared
10 be two negro men inside, who
had Just murdered his hostess by
severing her head from the body
with knife. The peddler shot
and killed the two negroes and i'm
mediately aroused the neighbors.
Al examination revealed the
astounding fact that the supposed
negroes were in reality white
women disguised as negro men, and
were the wives of the two men who
had an hour previously gone hunt
ing with the woman's husband.
The latter failing to return, a
search was instituted and his body
was found in the woods, where he
had been murdered by his treach'
erous neighbors. A posse at once
went in pursuit of them, but had
not effected capture at latest ac'
counts.

The Status of Deaf and DUN Indians.

The Status of Deaf and Dunn Indians.
Guthrie, Ok, Sept. ls,-Major
James +. Randlett, United States
Indian agent at Anadorko, has
written to William Grimes, terrific
rial secretary, asking If the child Of
an allotted Indian in Oklahoma is
eligible to enter the school for deaf
mutes at Guthrie. AT Anadarko is
a little Wichita Indian girl who
has been deaf and dumb since birth.
She is l3 years old, and of such in
telligence that friends wish to give
her the advantages of an education
which she cannot obtain in the res
ervation school. where there is no
teacher for deaf mutes. Governor
Ferguson said today that the little
girl could be admitted to the school
the same as white child il her
father bad taken his allotment.
This is the FIRST time this question
has been raised IN behalf of Indi-
ans, and probably will lead to the
