Residents of a Portion Of Little Rock
Seek to Set Up Independent Mu-

Must Hang for Murder OF Sheriff
Powers.
Effort to Divide Capitol City.

A surprise has been sprung at Lit
tie Rock by residents of the Eighth
ward, who propose to take advantage
of an act passed by the last general
assembly and form a separate city,
The act referred to was passed os-
tensibly TO enable small towns to
consolidate by consent Of the voters,
but il now appears that 1t was the
work OF shrewd residents OF the Eighth
ward. who desired to set up an IN
dependent city government for that
part of the city north of the Arkan-
sas river. Some months ago small
settlement on the north side, outside
the city limits, was Incorporated, and
it is to this territory it is proposed
to connect the Eighth ward, with the
consent Of the voters thereof and OF
the town OF North Little Rock. The
Hct under which 1t is proposed to &C
complish the above provides that
upon petition the city council of the
town to which said territory is to be
annexed shall order an election 10 De
held in that town and in the territory
which is to be annexed In this way
only North Little Rock and the
Eighth ward will have vote in the
annexation, and the south side nor
the city council of Little Rock proper
will be consulted about the matter.
The scheme is being bitterly opposed
by citizens of the South Side.

UNDER A REIGN OF TERROR.
Tie situation at jackson, Ky. Where
James b. Marcum was Killed,
Is at High Tension.

Lexington, Ky, May 6.-The stu
alton at jackson, where Attorney
James b. Marcum was asSassinated
by an unknown man Monday, is ex-
tremely critical. Not line is being
sent out of that town by correspond
ents for fear of the feudists, \ re-
liable man who came, Tuesday, from
jackson to Lexington, on being
promised that his name should not
be used, said the conditions at Jack
son were deplorable, and renewed
hostilitieS between t-e friends OF
Marcum and those now in power are
imminent. No arrests have been
made and there are no efforts made
to apprehend the assassins.
The widow of Marcum went to see
the dead body of her husband, Tues
day, for the first time, but Marcum :
friends have been afraid to be seen
taking any interest in him. Before
the shooting two men suspected Of
killing others in this feud in former
years, passed Marcum. Marcum then
remarked to a by-stander: Il don
like the actions Of those men; I'm
afraid they are up to something,
Subsequently, said the informant,
these two men, who are well known
to the officers and the public, went
out of the courthouse door and re-
entered the building by another door.
Shortly after this came the shots,
the first striking Marcum in the back
and the next in the head. The indi-
cations are that the assassin ran close
to the body and fired the last shot
at close range.
Suspicion points to three we'll
known men, the third standing near
Marcum and giving the signal The
case has been brought to the atten-
ton of the United States marshal
here, as Marcum was United States
commissioner. Gov. Beckham will be
asked for relief Martial law is being
suggested
Wood &. Dunlap, of this city, has
left for jackson as attorney for the
fusionists in the Breathitt county
contested election cases. He succeeds
as counsel James b. Marcum. II is
feared that the proceedings at this
time will precipitate further trouble
in the Cockrill-Ilargis feud, in which
half a dozen lives have already been
lost.
