CUNNINGHAM WILL RECOVER

Concerning the shooting of Gun ningham, who was shot while footing freight car at Maiden several days ago, the Kennett Democrat says:
 The wounded man is Harry Cum ningham from Hoxie, Arkansas. He is 26 years old and is an. escaped con vict from Arkansas, for which re- ward of $50 is offered; has served three terms in the Arkansas peniten- tiary and is said to be dangerous man.
 His pal, who was caught in the car, gave his name as Pete Russell, (which is probably an alias) and is about g years of age.
 Since Thursday two more of the gang have been trailed down and ar rested in Arkansas by Wheeler and Bledsoe.
 The men are members of a bad gang, which has done much damage, and nnore arrests are expected in this state.
 Russell has been in jail here several days. Cunningham was brought here Wednesday night and placed in jail He had to be carried on a cot. He says he thought he could "bluff" Blanton but now realizes that he tried the wrong man. He seems to be inn proving nicely and will recover.

THE CAMP.

The young men of Augusta are an energetic set, and especially when there is an opportunity of them ad- ding something to the pleasure of their friends or enjoying themselves. When it is so warm that indoor amusements cease to be pleasure, they resort to picnics, fish frys and other outings. Monday and Tuesday of this week they entertained with a camp hunt at Taylor's Bay, which was reported by those present to have been productive of more real pleasure than anything of the season. Boat riding, fishing and coon hunt were among the amusements.
 Wm. Ellsberry, MT. and Mrs. Mar vim Garland, and Mrs. Brunson were the chaperones and the following were the young people present: Misses Flora Eskew, Arie Rottman, Katie Price, of Newport; Jessie Bowling, of Little Rock; Nellie Gray, of Brinkley; Carrie Kittrell, Clara Sale, Bessie McCurdy, Lucy Brunson, Fannie Penn and Booker Roddy. Messrs. Allen Roddy, Ed Carl-Lee, Joe Vihson, Cornelius McCurdy, Joe Stanley, John Horton, Tom Stanley, Conner Stacy, Clyde Airheart and Will Will kerson.- Vidette.

 MT. D. S. Blair and his sons operate the Arkansas Broom Factory on their place in Washington township and have made and sold something near 5000 brooms in the last twelve months.

 Charley McMillan, along with some other small boys, was bathing in the river mile above town, near Gain OTIS Ferry, Saturday, when he found a large mussel shell. Opening it in search of pearl, he found a nickel. The coin bore the date of 1887 and the letter V, with which the earlier coins of that denomination were marked. How it got there has been the subject of much speculation. -Batesville Guard. The above will do to put in the same class with the quarter found in a watermelon by negro boy re- gently in this city

GRANT FOUND GUILTY.
The Negro Who Shot Essex Powers While at Supper Last October
 Will Probably Hang.

The jury in the case of Wallace Grant, charged with the murder of Essex Powers, Friday evening re- turned verdict of guilty.
 Grant was ably defended by Attor- neys J. w. Stayton and Love Grant, who attempted to prove their client insane at the time of the commission of the deed, but the jury adjudged otherwise.
 The crime for which Grant was con- victed was committed last October, the following account of which ap- peared in the INDEPENDENT of Thurs day, October 24th, 1901:
 Essex Powers, negro sat at the supper table, at his home, the fourth door south of the church on Vine street. His chair was near the win dow, his left side face close against the pane, across which there hung light piece of sheeting, which served the purpose of a curtain. The shot came from without and Powers Efell back as nearly the whole discharge of the gun imbeded itself in the left jaw, tearing the tongue and lower teeth out and ranging upwards. The victim of the shot was an awful sight as blood streamed from the whole face Doctors L. E. and F. D. Willis were at once summoned and did all they could for the injured man, whose condition Thursday morning gave them some hope, but the chances are all against his life.
 The man upon the outside, who must have stood within two feet of the window, when he fired this shot of grapnel, composed of slugs and large and fine shot, is thought to have been Grant Wallace, negro who has recently been in the employ of the Southern Cotton Oil Mill.
 Wallace and powers boarded at the house of Mollie Burton and on the previous evening, when Wallace had beaten the woman and threatened to use a razor, Powers had interferred in her behalf Revenge and jealousy were the motives imputed to Wallace in the commission of this crime."
