Prevented a Lyuching.

A mob of over 100 people stormed
the jail at Newport for the purpose
Of securing negro suspected Of at
tempted criminal assault on a highly
respected young lady, and, but for
the nerve Of Sheriff Bandy, possibly
an innocent party would have been
put to death. Sheriff Bandy, who
is a one-armed man, met the mob at
the jail door. He pleaded most elo-
quently with the leaders not to act
too hastily, as the evidence against
the negro was such as left a grave
doubt IN his mind Of his guilt. Mr..
Bandy stated that he regarded it as
his duty, even at tic risk Of his life,
to protect the prisoner, and his posi-
tiyeness 50 impressed itself en- the
crowd that it dispersed.

Woman Shoots il Self-Dcfense

A painter named B. II. Dresser
was shot and killed BY his wife at
Texarkana. An Investigation by
TIE officers shows that the woman
acted in self-defensc, though she
expresses great sorrow over the trag-
edy. It seems Dresser, while intox-
ieated, armed himself with a shot
gun and declared he would kill his
wife. The couple engaged in a scuf-
fie in which Mrs. Dresser secured
the shotgun. The crazed man was
warned to keep at a distance, but
made an attempt to again secure the
weapon, when it was discharged, TIE
shot intended for his wife passing
through his own body.

Three Against One.

Chas. Brown, colored, was shot
and probably fatally wounded by
three white men at a point near the
eastern limits of Little Rock. One
report is that the white men intend
ed to hold up the negro. Brown
was driving home in a buggy. and
says he came upon three white men
in the road, and a dispute arose
over his driving into the ditch
around them, which he refused to
do. One word followed another, IN
til the men opened fire. At the
same time Brown cut loose with his
Winchester, but could fire no more,
as bullets began to hit in the battle
of three against one, and that one
outlined against the sky.

story warehouse in Little Rocl
owned by the Arkansas Furniture
company and occupied jointly by
the above firm and the Little Rock
Furniture Manufacturing company

ture. The Furniture Manufacture
ing company place their loss al
$4,000, fully covered by insur-
ance. The other firms loss is about

Enforcing the CAN'T Law.

1t is probable the CAN'T law, the
intent of which is to prevent the
practice of drumming for patients
by a certain class of physicians at
Hot Springs, is to be strictly en-
forced, as several convictions have
recently been secured under this
act. The fame of Hot Springs as a
health and pleasure resort is world
wide, and the afflicted who come
with the hope of regaining health
should be protected from quacks
and bunco-steerers.
