MOTT MURDERED
 BY LEE HOLCOMBE.
Aged Farmer Suffers Death at Hands of Young Neighbor on Spree
 Wednesday Night.

E. Mott, peaceable farmer of nearly 50 years of age, was murdered at his home near the Ike Stephens farm nine miles south of here on White river Wednesday night between II and 12 o'clock by young neigh bor, Lee Holcombe, who was in a drunken frenzy.
 The latter claimed Mott had drawn $10 coming to him and went to Mott's home with musket and began firing. No shots struck the old man, how ever, and Holcombe then proceeded to brain him. Before medical assist ance could be secured Mott had passed away. He leaves a wife and two children, but they have been sep arated from him and lived near Campbell.
 Holcombei came here from Yazoo, Mississippi, and has thus far evaded arrest.

SECOND RESERVATION
 AT FL DORADO.
Dallas Hunter, a Friend of Tucker Faction, Murdered in Cold Blood While Preparing to Leave the
 County.

Fl Dorado, Sept. 2.-Dallas Hunter was assassinated this morning about four miles west of town, while on the road from his house to El Dorado, where he had been to see his sick baby. He was returning to El Dorado to consult his brother in law, At torney w. c. Holbert, of Temple, Tex, relative to leaving this county, because, it is claimed, his life had been threatened.
 Hunter had been deputy sheriff since the March circuit court, and was friend of Guy Tucker, now of Little Rock, and of W. P. Lee, who was assassinated on July last. He leaves a wife and four small children.
 A posse with bloodhounds went to the scene of the killing. The blood hounds took the trail, and at last ac- counts were still running the trail.
 The assassin stood behind tree, and at distance of about thirty feet shot Hunter from his horse. A load of twelve buckshot struck him full in the back. Appearances indicated that the assassin had been there for twenty four hours. The coroner empaneled jury, viewed the re- mains and adjourned until Friday morning at g o'clock.
 1 Guv TucKer intended to return to Little Rock this afternoon, but owing to rumors of the intended assassin ation of him he got off the train in l the outskirts of the city and returned to town.
 If the assassination of Dallas Hunt CT yesterday and the murder of w. P. Lee on July 6 last are chargeable to the Tucker P arnell feud, this is the fifth violent death as the result of that feud.

LIOyd's In Time of Anxiety.

Only recently a great Atlantic liner
was announced to be three days over
due. on the third day there was no
noticeable advance in the rate charged
for those who had neglected to insure
property shipped upon it. but on the
fourth day, when anxiety as to both
the passengers and the property on
hoard had Increased. it was ominousy
announced from I.loyd's that the IA te of
insurance upon that particular vessel
had been advanced to $40 in $500. This
was on Tuesday. On Wednesday. whom
no further news had been heard, the
rate had jumped to S25 in the 5000.
ON Thursday it reached 500. and by
Friday the enormous sum Of 500 in
$500 was declared TO be the rate in any
and all manner of insurance upon the
missing vessel 1t is needless 10 say
how horribly these announcements con-
lirmcd the anxious fears Of those most
deeply concerned in the arrival of the
vessel. for all the world knows that if
there is any hope it will be longest
found at Lloyd's. 1t is also needless ~
say that when the great liner in queS-
ton finally reached her dock in New
York nowhere was there greater To-
joicing at the announcement than in

AN EXPLORATION

cool from the ocean. Sidney was up
at an early hour and took his oh

1t was MIR. Kcnt's turn to gat break
fast. and he did himself credit. In
the meantime Sidney had been pre-
pairing for the exploration of the
island. lie looked over the stock If
guns and selected II rifle and Il shot
gun. II" found these weapons in
fairly good order, but oiled and
cleaned them carefully, and tested
both several times.
II WAS about eight o'clock when
Sidney and Mr.. Kent disappeared in
the thicket through which he brook
took its course. MIR. Pence had been
detailed to explore the north shore
of the lake, and from the express
sion of his face he did not relish
the task
He refused to take II gun. and
armed with Il heavy club set out on
what he regarded a most dangerous
expedition. 1t was low tide. and the
beach was clear of water to the
trowning rocks which formed the
gateway to "Morton's Bay"
For the first quarter of an hour
Sidney and Mr.. Kent found il fairly
easy To follow the course of the
brook. \ trail had been cut along
the winding bank the preceding
year. but such is the yiriity of
tropical vegetation that already it
was wcll-nieh closed. On both sides
was "A jungle so dense as TO be i'm

Il number OF itinerants who were on

rise about O'Clock in the morning and
ride a good way before breakfast and
lie 10y in the heat of the day. nr.
Thrall, acting as spokesman of the par
ty, said To the old farmer after supper:
I'VE are company of Methodist
preachers going TO conference. If YOU
will get the family together, we will
have prayers with you" After pray
