IN ROLE OF DETECTIVE
Cost Young Gotham His Life, Says Sheriff Williams and May Result in the Death
 of His Brother.

Sheriff R. l.. Williams was among the Hot Springs citizens in the capital city Thursday, says the Little Rock Gazette. He stated that the authorities have been unable to gain any clue concerning the assassination of the Gotham brothers in Marble township, Garland county, last Tuesday. After an investigation
 Sheriff Williams adheres to the
 theory that the shooting down of the two brothers was due to ani-
 mosities aroused by the efforts of
 one of the Cotnan1s to enact the
 role of detective. By means of a
 badge procured from one of the
 numerous metropolitan detective
 agencies that advertise for men
 to act as their representatives,
 Gotham sought to establish a rep
 utation as sleuth. His conduct
 evidently made enemies for him,
 but the officers are at loss to fasten responsibility for the fatal shots fired from ambush last Tues day which ended the life of one Gotham and may result in double tragedy, as the other Gotham is not expected ito live. It is said that the latter has mace a statement in which he expresses the belief that a certain man is the assassin, but he adds that he could not see the man that fired upon him and his brother, as the bullets came from under cover. There is no evidence as yet upon which an arrest can be made and it seems likely that the tragedy will never be ac- counted for. One theory is that the killing may have been done by a man who is fugitive from another state, but this is a l mere suspicion, as it will prob ably develop that Gotham made more than one enemy by his as- duity in the role of detective. One of Sheriff Williams deputies went to the scene of the assas- and made an investiga- tion, which failed to develop enough facts to form the basis of an arrest. In time the ques- tion of guilt may be solved, but at present the affair may be set down as one of those mysterious in the hills that bafle the skill of the authorities.

Attempted Suicide.

Henry Darnell, our nail-carrler
to Guion, informed US that Mrs.
Deal, wife If Cal Deal, on Lyons
creek, attempted suicide early
Tuesday morning by cutting her
throat. The cause Of this rash
act was that MIR, Deal opposed
the marriage of their daughter to
young man named Phillips,
which was expected to take place
soon, while Mrs. Deal favored the
marriage; that the matter was
discussed in an unpleasant man.
ner, when Mr.. Deal became so
enraged that he threatened to
leave his wife, Tuesday morning
about 5 o'clock Mrs, Deal rose
before any Of the family, cut her
throat from ear to ear with a
razor and had almost blGd to
death when discovered. The
terrible cash, however, did not
penetrate the jugular vein or cut
the wind-pipe, and it is thought
that she will survive the terrible
act. Mrs. Deal was the daughter
of Baxter Landers of Adler
