PRISONER CREMATED
 BY HIS OWN ACT.
Demented Man Sets Fire To Cal aboose in Jacksonport and Is Burned To Death
 In Flames.

H. B. Williams, who for sew eral years was confined in the asylum at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but who recently came home to JacS8onporC to live, where he was kindly provided for by his brother, Nj E. Williams, was burned to death Sunday night in the calaooose at Jacksonport.
 He had that day been subject to violent mamie ations of in sanity and wanted to kill mem- bers of the family. For safe keeping and to prevent such a tragedy, he was confined in the calaboose, and to make him as comfortable as possible, bed clothing was placed in his cell.
 It was not known that he had matches upon his person, and that night he set fire to the build ing, which was almost entirely consumed before the fire was noticed. The body of the. de- mented and unfortunate man was found in the embers, badly burned. Coroner Harrison, of Tuckerman, was notified and came down Monday for the pur- pose of holding an inquest.
 The brother of the deceased, Charles Williams, died last week from blood poison that resulted from a badly broken leg, and in this double sorrow, the relatives have the sympathy of many friends.

 Since the beginning of his ill., ness one week ago conditions have at no time been favorable for his recovery, but the news of his death nevertheless came as shock to an unusually large number of friends and acquaint- ances. The end came at 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening. when the family circle of the departing soul was gathered about, minis 'tering with tender devotion.
 Deceased was born in Mur- freesboro, Tenn, in 1925, being 79 years and six months old. He leaves five children, two sons and three daughters, namely: T. R. and Osie' Duffer, of this city, Mesdames A. D. Holland, Abe Ballew and John lowers, the latter living in Texarkana.

Miss Helen M. Gould changed her itinerary and disappointed a large crowd of admirers who ex- pected to greet her Thursday, says the Blade of Walnut Ridge, The change brought her to Hoxie at 6::30 a. m., and she left at 8 a. m. At 8:30, in company with her party she went to the Y. M. c. A. building and inspected same from basement to garret, after which an informal reception was held in the library. The Hon. John s. Gibson, of Hoxie, deliv- cred the address of welcome in his happiest vein, to which Miss Gould responded in her own characteristic manner. Her re- marks were pointed and business like. At the conclusion of same, the entire crowd was presented to Miss Gould and her party, and were greeted by a hearty hand shake.

PRESCOTT VISITED
 BY BAD FIRE.
Seventy-Five Thousand Dollar Fire In Business and Resi-
 dence Section of Town.

Prescott, Ark, October 21. One of the most disastrous fires that has visited Prescott in many years, started this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and destroyed about $75, ,000 worth of property in a few hours, The fire originated in the warehouse of Levi Fran cisco, aad caught from spark from a passing engine. A fierce wind was blowing at the time, and the fire soon spread in two directions, going to the residence portion of the town on the east, and the business portion on the north.
 The supply of water was in adequate, and for a time it looked like everything east of the rail- road was doomed. The flying sparks set fire to a number of buildings many blocks away, but these were soon extinguished. A lag of the wind at 6 o'clock stop ped the fire just as it was ap- preaching the main business cen- ter of town.

DEATH OF PIONEER
 BUSINESS MAN.
Word Reaches Newport of De. mise of Thomas J. Watson AtNew York Sanitarium
 Friday Afternoon.

Recent years have witnessed the removal of many of our pio- neer citizens and leading busi- ness men of this sections earlier development, for deaths sickle has been no respecter of persons. The activity and usefulness of former years has not counted iii staying the inevitable end;- the love and devotion of family and friends has not suficed to bar the final conqueror of human man.a
 In the death of Capt. Thomas J. Watson, the community which has been his home for the greater part of his life, feels deeply the loss of an estimable and public spirited citizen, and the friends and family of the deceased are bowed in sorrow over the calling of one they loved, and especially to that inner circle whose bonds of affection are tied closely by blood relationship, waxed strong by intimate acquaintanceship and daily contact in the home and about the fireside, does the syn- pathy of our people go out as 9 consolation in their hour of sor- row.
 Prepared as all were for the sad news, by reason of the poor health cf the deceased for the past year, and his rapidly declin- ing condition for several months, the stroke is none the less se- were. Dr. Ebert Watson who, with his mother, have been min. istering at his bedside in New York sanitarium, wired Friday afternoon of his fathers death at p. m.
 The remains are expected to reach Newport Monday morning on one of the early trains, and the funeral will be from the Epis- copal church that afternoon, probably at 3 o'clock.
 Rev. Percy J. Robottom, an old friend of the deceased. will conduct the services, in which he will be assisted by the Masons, an order of which MT. Watson has long been an esteemed mem- Der.
 The pail bearers are Messrs. T. J. Graham, L. Minor, J. M. Stayton, w. A. Billingsley, L. M. Hoffman, Henry Owen, w. R. Thompson, T. D. Kinman.
 In remembrance of the active part MT. Watson has taken in all matters of the city's welfare and upbuilding, and in recog- milton of these public spirited services and standing as a citi- zen, it has been very timely sug- gested that the business houses of the city be closed for the hour of the funeral Monday afternoon, and that the mayor issue proc lamation to this effect.

MORGAN'S MURDERER
 PLACED ON TRIAL.
Witnesses Tell Story of Crosby's S Shooting of Brave Sheriff
 Hard To Secure Jury.

Batesville, October 20. The case of Robert Crosby, who shot and killed Sheriff J. D. Morgan last month, came up in circuit court today, and from the evil dence, which is all in, it seems certain that the verdict will be for murder in the first degree. The argument by the lawyers will commence tomorrow morn ing. It took all morning and un- til 2::30 this afternoon to select a jury. Seventy-one men were questioned before the twelve could be selected. Following is the jury: L. H. Clark, Pete Ford, F. w. Pearson, Jake Dun can, T. B. Cantrell, Earl Wade, s. E. Wells, w. w. Wade, z. T. Northern, J. c. Whited, George Witt and Alex Wright.
 The first witness on the stand was James Hardy. He testified that Crosby came to his stable and called for a rig to go out in the country a few miles, and that he hired him the team and went out on the street to find a boy to drive up there. While at Deni- zon's store, Ed. Reeves, a clerk in the store, asked him if he knew who the man was that was going out in the country, and then told him that 1t was Crosby, who was wanted in Izard county for grand larceny. He then told Sheriff Morgan over the tele- phone to come down there at once; that his man was there and was going to leave. Sheriff Nor gan came hurriedly and Hardy pointed out the man to him as he was coming out of the City hotel with bundle and package un- der his arm. Morgan went up to him and asked him if his name was Crosby, and the man said No" and started to run, with Morgan after him and trying to grab him. Hardy said he shouted Catch him, Jeff," and that in the meantime Crosby, who had drawn his gun, turned on Nor gan and took deliberate aim at him, using one hand as a rest for his gun. Morgan in the mean time, had paused when Crosby drew his gun, and had stepped back in trying to draw his gun which caught in his pocket. He had partly turned and was draw ing his gun when the fatal shot was fired. He staggered forward and fired one shot, then fell. Handing his gun to Hardy he said, Catch him, Jim; he has killed me. '' Hardy then took the gun from Morgan's hands and pursued the fleeing man. Hardy's testimony, as well as the testi- mony of others, revealed the fact that Morgan was not in pursuit of the man at the time the shot was fired. and that Crosby had turned and was taking aim with both hands when he fired the fatal shot.
 H. l.. Miller, Lawrence Rud- dell and Glib Cook, the latter a negro employe at Hardy's stable, testified to the same story of the shooting.
 Sheriff James Harris of Izard county, testified that he held warrants for Crosby and had tel ephoned Morgan that he still wanted the defendant.
 Crosby was placed upon the stand and declared that he shot at Morgan to get away, for he feared arrest, but did not know that Morgan was the sheriff. The defendants mother was also placed on the stand.
