Sheriff Whitney was In town from
Rathdrum Friday and visited the
different saloons with a view to en-.
forcing the gambling law IL he found
it was being violated. But with the
exception OF slot machines his inyes-
tigation disclosed no violations. The
order OF Attorney Wilson had preced-
ed the sheriff and gambling devices,
with the exception noted, were all
closed down. Only two or three slot
machines stood face outward and he
at once turned these to the wall and
gave warning to their owners that
they must no longer be operated. The
gamblers have about all left for other
fields, and it is not apprehended that
any prosecutions will follow as a re-

MIGHTIER THAN LAW
ARKANSAS MOB LYNCHES A
 NEGRO.
Special Term of Court Was Promised But Enraged Citizens Preferred Not to Await Legal
 Action.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 3.--A special to The Gazette from Lake Village, Chi cot county. says: Henry Johnson. color ed, was taken from jail here at noon to-day by a mob and hanged in the cen- ter of town.
 The act was due to a tragedy early this morning in which Frank Anderson was killed and B. Vinson, a lawyer from Little Rock, and several others, were wounded.
 A row occurred between some negroes and whites, and 1t is claimed that Ed. Coleman, colored, pulled pistol and began shooting. A fusilade followed, and when 1t ceased. 1t was found that An derson was dead, Vinson shot in two places, Joseph Frank wounded in the foot and Ella Mcdowell colored, shot in the back Coleman fled and a posse started in pursuit Johnson was placed in jail.
 Excitement ran high among the people and increased until noon. when the court house bell sounded and most of the white citizens assembled there.
 A number of speeches were made and a committee on law enforcement was ap- pointed. The question was raised as to what should be done with the negro Johnson. It was announced that Circuit Judge Wood would be here to hold a spe- cial term of court but a large number of those present rushed out of the court house shouting. Hang him.
 Sledge hammers and railroad irons were quickly found and in thirty min utes four doors of the jail had been broken down and the mob secured John- son, and took him to the center of the town, where he was hanged.

CARD GAME CAUSED DEATH Young Boy Struck Man with a Brick. OCCURRED IN WEST END John Anderson, Killed by
 Jeffey Booth. n County Jail Boy is Mortified at Enormity of His Crime and Says Man Abused

Jeffey Booth. young white boy, is in the Montgomery county jail. charged with the murder of John Anderson, a full grown man. as the result of a diff ficulty arising from game of cards.
 The tragedy occurred yesterday after noon about o'clock in an open field in West End. where number of boys and young men of that community had gath cred for the purpose of gaming. A dis pute over the cards, a short fisticuff. and a brick thrown at vital part of John Anderson's body Is the story of the tragedy.
 There were a number of eye witnesses to the difficulty. which had murder as it's sequel. among them being two broth CTS of Anderson's slayer. The brothers were Irwin Booth and Hardy Booth. It is said that Anderson, who was 25 years old, had been drinking heavily. When the dispute arose over the cards, from what could be gleaned from the people of the neighborhood the older man seiz- ed the boy. and throwing him to the ground and cursing him. warned him that if he repeated his actions. he would be held personally responsible, and that it was only on account of the boy s years and size that he did not strike him.
 The report goes that when the boy was released from his prone position, he seized a piece of brick and threw with force and accuracy at the head of An derson. The throw was true, the brick striking on the right of the rear of the skull. Anderson fell instantly and in a few seconds he was dead.
 Consternation seized the boys and young men. who were witnesses to the tragedy. They dashed to the stores in West End and told excitedly what had happened.
 Jeffey Booth followed them and with out the advice of any one, walked to Montgomery and surrendered himself to Sheriff W. R.. Waller. A warrant charg- ing him with murder was sworn out before Justice R. H. Jones by a deputy sheriff The preliminary hearing has not been set.
 When seen at the jail yesterday after noon. young Booth presented a pitiable appearance. The knee trousers he wore did not conform with his surroundings and the black charge which rested against his name on the jail docket. The boy a youngster. apparently about \ years old. was pale and evidently much affected and frightened
 He said that he had been abused by Anderson, and he had not the slightest intention of committing murder, wher he threw the brick.
 Coroner w. H. Tice took charge of the body of Anderson. A young wife and a little child in West End were, by the | tragedy of yesterday afternoon, left hus- bandless and fatherless.
 The funeral of the dead man will take place this afternoon. He had relatives ir Tallassee. who have been notified.
 Both the dead man and his assailant were formerly employees of the Peoples Cotton Factory.

As 6 Vote-Maker.

He is a vote maker. no doubt, or he would not so completely have suppressed all opposition in ihs own party to his aspirations to succeed himself. But his plan of campaign is to boldly strike out for what seems to himself to be right thinking intelligence of action, and let the consequences take care of themselves.
 first met him casually and socially for few moments and heard him the same evening make an address when he was a police commissioner in New York, and about as far off from the Presidency as one of our police commissioners here In Memphis. I sat in the back row, a stranger among strangers, and listened to him with such critical attention as could command. then thought him scholar ly student of the art of government. domi- mated by belief in aggressive action in all civil duties. especially those of citizen ship and official conduct. He appeared to me as a politician likely to be misled by scholarly acquired theories that made no diplomatic reckoning with established practices in government or the prejudices of public opinion. He seemed to me rather an inventor in politics who would defend hls patent rights with courage, because of their novelty, and that he would rather enjoy fight for them. such as he was then having as police commits sioner. It is seemingly a long step from police commissioner or a mayor of a town, engaged in the work of reform, to the Presidency, but 1t was a rather short one for Grover Cleveland and Teddy Roosevelt. But short as 1t was, there has been time for an enormous growth of development and the coming struggle between the two men will be largely one of "backbone," 1t may be rather than barrels of the coin of the republic, as some think 1t will be. Does either of them fancy himself "a universal Aris- tarchus when he is only a common public fiagellator." as The New Sun inti- mates of one of them. quoting what Samuel ]. Tilden said of some one exactly seven days after Grover Cleve- land was bornT'
 It Is my own belief that this Is not applicable to either one of these two of our group of greatest statesmen" and that they are pretty evenly matched in ability and administrative of executive qualifications to do the work of reform leach according to his way and each an eager hunter for the big game of the jungles of politics.
