Killed His Father.

John Nassano, aged 22, shot and killed his father, aged 60, at their home in Little Rock, the weapon used being shotgun loaded with buckshot. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, which was the result of the crazed condition of young Nassano, from oyer-indulgence in liquor. When officers arrived they found young Nassano standing over the body of his father with a shot gun in his hand. He turned upon the officers and threatened them with instant death if they did not leave him alone. After some per suasion he consented to give up his gun and to go quietly with the of ficers. After his confinement in the jail he was quiet, and would only say that he was justified in killing his father and would pro- duce evidence to that effect. While being taken to jail he stated that several others were implicated in the deed and that some of them held the victim while he shot him. The police place no confidence in the story and attribute it to the crazed condition of the man at the time. The murdered man was good citizen, and his son had caused him a great deal of trouble from drinking.

Statute of Limitation Defined.

A case of general interest was re- gently decided by the state supreme court relating to the statute of linn itation. In November, 1899, Mrs. F. F. Enrich of Little Rock, in taking hold of guy wire belonging to the street car company, charged with electricity, received a severe shock. She brought suit for dam ages against the street car company, alleging that it negligently allowed its guy wire to hang so near the ground that a person passing on the sidewalk would come in contact herewith. She recovered a judg- ment in the Pulaski circuit court. In about thirteen months after the accident her husband brought suit against the same company for the injuries to his wife and for medical bills, etc. The defendant inter- posed plea of statute of limitation of one year. The circuit judge sus- tained this plea. From this rul- ing Enrich appealed to the supreme court which held that the lower court erred in ruling that the one year statute of limitation does not apply to negligence.

Wiegel Refuses to Talk.


 Lee Wiegel, who with his wife few days ago was found in their room at a Texarkana hotel with their throats cut, the woman dead and Wiegel in serious condition, has so far recovered as to be able to appear for preliminary hearing. A strange feature of the case is the refusal of Wiegel to make any state ment whatever in regard to the trag- edy. The couple were married at Anniston, Ala, and immediately went to Texarkana, where the mys- terious tragedy occurred.

Alleged Murderer Bound Over.

Joe Walker, colored, has been bound over to the grand jury of Jefferson county on the charge of murdering Joe Branch, colored, his wife and her two sisters, at Tucker. The dead bodies of the four negroes were found in the cabin where they lived. The heads of all were split open with an ax, and the instru- ment of their death was found near by covered with blood. The perpe- trator of the crime sought to con- ceal his crime by firing the house, but only little part of the floor was burned.

Prohibitory Order Necessary.

In answer to a recent inquiry from a prosecuting attorney Attor- ney General Murphy takes the po- sition that ''the vote against the sale of wine simply prohibits the licensing of such sale; it does not affect the right to sell in the county or township native wine made from the berries or grapes grown by the party. Nothing but prohibitory order of the county court will make such sale unlawful"

Past the Century Mark.

"Uncle" George Brinsfeld, of Iz- ard county, rode a distance of forty miles to Mammoth Spring, where he took a train for Paragould to at tend the Methodist conference. Mir. Brinsfeld has been a citizen of Iz- ard county for over thirty years. He will be 103 years of age should he live till next April, and the fact that he was physically able to make such a long journey in the manner he did shows that he is wonderfully preserved for his years. He has al- ways lived the life of plain farm CT.
