A Strange Story.

Robert Lee, young white man of Pine Bluff. tells a strange story of punishment inflicted on him by Frank Lee avows he was taken to the sub urbs of Pine Bluff by Murray and Fully and given a severe whipping, and told if he did not leave town he would be killed. He then packed his belongings and removed to Little Rock, securing a position in a dry goods store. In a few days Fully, it is alleged arrived at Little Rock, went to where Lee was employed and com manded him to draw his money. This Lee did in the presence of Fully, but gave no reason for quitting his job. He says he was then compelled to fol- low Fully to point outside the city limits, where Murray and Webb were in waiting, and again he was given a severe beating. He was compelled to pawn a diamond and turn the money over to his prosecutors who then told him to leave the state if he did not want to be killed Lee started for St. Louis, but concluded to return to Pine Bluff and invoke the protection of the law. The mans body showed numerous scars and bruises in sub stantiation of his story, and Webb, Murray and Fully have been arrested. The whole affair is mystery but it is believed Fully became jealous of Lees attentions to his wife, who is a daughter of Webb.

BUTLER AGAIN INDICTED.
Charged With Paying the $47,5oo Bribe Money to Influence
 Ten-Year Light Contract.
SENSATION IN ST. LOUIS BOODLEDOM.
Members of the Combine That Passed the Measure for Which the "BOOdIe" Is said to Have Been Paid-Butler Brought In.

St. Louis, Oct. 2f.-Edward Butler was indicted by the grand jury at 12:10 o'clock Monday afternoon on the charge of paying to Charles F. Kelly $47, 800 bribe for members of the house of delegates combine who passed the ton-year city lighting bill November 2s, 1899.
 The witnesses whose names appear on the back of the information are: J. k. Murrell, E. E. -turrell, Georpe F. Robertson, Otto Schumacher, John Helms, William NJ. Tamblyn. mem bers of the municipal combine, and Joseph \. Judge and George F. Mock Ter. The last two named are formal witnesses, Judge being clerk of the present house of delegates and Mock Ter secretary of the present council The other six are members of the combine, which included the recipi- ents of the bribe.
 The indictment of Butler has been in view ever since the return of l. K. Murrell from his exile in Mexico. The flight of Charles F. Kelly, taker of the bribe, prevented the earlier issu- ance of the indictment.
 Little more than one months time remained in which the indictment could be returned. On November 2S newt the three-year limit of the stat tute of limitations would have made prosecution impossible.
 The grand jury has made efforts to get back of the immediate giver of
The Monticellonian., 1902-10-23

the bribe to the persons who provid- ed the money. The absence of Kelly, it is believed, has made this more diff ficult than it would otherwise have been.
 Butler was brought to the four courts at one o'clock by deputy sheriff. He was taken to the office of the sheriff.
 Butler was accompanied by his at torney. He was taken from the sher- iff's office to Judge Ryan's court room, where he awaited a bondsman.
 A messenger was sent for John Bobb, a real estate man, whom But Ter desired as a bondsman.
 If he doesn't come I'll send for Festus J. Wade" said the grizzled political leader.
 Folk is trying to prejudice my case at Columbia" was the only com ment Butler would make on the new indictment. "He would like to in dict me on dozen more charges if he could, just to help him in his ease up there"
 Butler went to Judge Ryan's court room, prepared to give bond, but the court had vacated the bench for luncheon. Judge Ryan. however. had left word with Deputy Sheriff Shee- han to release Butler on the under standing that he should return at two o'clock and give bond
 Butler, his attorney, Thomas J. Rowe, and his bondsman, John Bobb, then walked away.

Mrs. Ed Lewis was brutally mur- dered by some unknown party about seven miles from Forrest City. She left her home horseback to visit her husband, who was employed at a camp on the St. Francis river. The horse arrived at the camp riderless, and a party was sent to see what was the matter. He found Mrs. Lewis lying in some bushes dead, with her skull crushed in. At first it was thought the horse had thrown her. but further investigation showed that it was a case of brutal murder Part of her hair had been torn out and there were finger marks on her throat, and the surroundings showed there I Id been a desperate struggle.

Bride Robbed and Deserted.

Joe F. Hunt, formerly railroad engineer but lately employed as a barkeeper. deserted his bride of two weeks at Little Rock, after securing $600 of her money. Hunt was accom- panied by a woman of i'll repute, and his action in deserting his wife is most contemptible. Hunt secured the unfortunate woman savings on a plea that he was to purchase the business of his employer, leaving his wife almost penniless and with an invalid sister to care for. Before her mar riage Mrs. Hunt was employed in a responsible position at a large dry goods house, and is most estimable lady.
