Mt. Olive, Miss. Sept. 28.--"Wild
Jack Sullivan, one Of the most motto,
rIous members Of the Sullivan family
of Sulliyan's Hollow, a celebrated 10.
cality in Smith county near here, met
his end last night a few miles from
this place 1t is claimed by people
around him that he accidentally
dropped his pistol from his bosom and
it exploded killing him. A boy was
the first to reach him and he called on
him to pray for him, but, the boy hest.
tating, he was obliged to Offer his
long-deterred suplpication himself,
which he did The theory of acct
dental killing, however, is not gen.
orally accepted 1t is believed by
many that he was killed from ambush
to settle scores Of long standing.
II was he who killed his uncle, Will
son Sullivan, in d passion last win
ter and cUt to pieces another person
for sons tifing offense. His life has
been of prohigacy, gambling,
drinking and general crime until he
had come to be dreaded by everybody,

ing law and vengeance for the last
year spending most Of his time in the
woods in hiding. Like all persons
who live violent lives, he died VIC

four children
The Sulliyans Of this neighborhood
are not all desperadoes, but many OF
them are on the contrary, quiet and
lawabding and thrifty people. Jack
was the black sheep of the lot
His custom used to be to visit the
neighboring towns and paint them a
very deep crimson with his handy
Smith & Wesson, rarely leaving with
out fight or a shooting scrape. This
however, has abated since the killing
of his uncle. He has been busy keep
ing out of the way, only going into
company once in a while to play a
game or have a drinking bout A
small negro boy was also killed here
today accidentally by the careless
handling of the ever-present gun
