NEGRO SHOT TWO OFFICERS.

Forrest City, Ark, Aug. 20 -
City Marshal w. W. Rainbolt was
shot and killed today by John
Williams, a desperate negro ex-
convict, who was attempting to
make his escape.
Prior to the shooting of Rain
bolt, Williams shot and probably
fatally wounded William Murph-
rec, deputy sheriff. Murphree's
condition is serious and he is not
expected to live.
About 7 o, o'clock tonight Deputy
Sheriff Murphree located Williams
and attempted to arrest him on an
old charge. The negro concealed
himself behind fence when he
saw the officer coming and shot at
him four times, the first shot pen
etrating his windpipe.
Murphee fell before he had an
opportunity of pulling his pistol
and returning the fire. At late
hour he was still concious, but
bleeding internally, and fears were
entertained for his recovery.
T Immediately after Murphree
was shot City Marshal w. w. Rain
bolt, Deputy Sheriff r. X. Swan,
Night Marshal W. A. Scott and
others were in swift pursuit. 1t
was then that Rainbolt was killed
by a shot through the abdomen.
He lived only an hour.
Rainbolt shot the negro down
after he had received his death
wound, and his body was soon
riddled with bullets by the other
officers.

BLACKBIRD.
Storm of Sunday Catches Many Farmers
With corn Unhusked Local Happenings
and Personal Mention

Special Correspondence the TINES.
BLACKBIRD, Nov. 15:-Should the
old adage hold true, persons owning
sleighs and sleds, may have chance
to try them. Not for several years has
storm like Sundays visited this vi
cinity, and then to be so early in the
year. 1t caught quite number of our
farmers with a great amount of cOrh
and fodder out, and the ones who have
their work all done are rejoicing for
husking corn is a rather unpleasant
process at this time of the year. 1t is
to be hoped that Mr.. WeP ther-man
will give us tidings of warmer wave
to come soon.
Much regret and sorrow is felt from
the fact that Mrs. and Mrs. Andrew
Lockermon, of Blackbird station are
soon to leave the neighb )rhoCd Mr..
Lockerman is railroad man and b Is
been promoted to the position of sec
ton foreman on the Maryland Dlvi-
sion. Mr.. and Mrs. Lockerman are
life time residents and have many
friends, but we are sure that their own
kindly ways will insure them a well
come. They will reside at Mlllington.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Johnson have the
sympathy of their friends in the loss of
their infant son on Tuesday last, age
being less than a year. Funeral SER
vices were held at the parents home,
near Blackbird on Thursday and were
conducted by the Rev. Albert Chand-
ler, of Smyrna. Interment in Odd

Republicans are not only retained in
power in the State, having Preston
Lea for their next Governor and good
working majority in both houses of the
Legislature, but the Republicans will
still remain in control of Kent County
Levy Court; an important factor in the
management of local and county affairs
The presens Levy Court wenl in under
embarrassing circumstances and with
all they were obliged to shoulder were
able to make q number of improve
ments to the County buildings and
bridges and Bombay Hook roads,
With these permanent repairs made, it
Is to be hoped the new Levy Court will
continue IN the good work already be-
gun and give more attention to public
roads. Ii we can't have macademized
roads let us have the next best thing
possible. The people of Smyrna and
Clayton would welcome the Inaugura-
of movement to construct a macade
mized road between Clayton and
Smyrna, such as is now enioyed be-
tween Middletown and Odessa. Lew
Courtman-elect, John P. Hudson will
be doing a good service if he will di-
rect his efforts to bringing it about.

The victory of Tuesday was tremend
Gus enough to carry any party off its
feet. 1t would be only human for Of
ficials who had received such a vote of
approval to feel certain elation in the
large stock of confidence on which they
evidently have to draw. Nothing,
therefore, has become the administra-
ton so much in the hour of its sweep
ing triumph as it's evident sober sense
of responsibility, its determination to
be worthy of the supreme trust repOsed
IN it. Noblesse oblige is clearly it's
principle, and its great prestige is to
be used not lightly or capriciously or
in any spirit of personal elation, but
with an abiding feeling of solemn re-
sponsibility and an unselfsh devotion
to the true ideals of American states
manship.
The President led off in the hour of
his victory with a statement which has
impressed friends and foes alike with
its good taste and its patriotism. He,
who has been so lightly charged with
a readiness to disregard on his per-
sonal impulse laws and sound rules of
government because he was not a vic
tim of timidity and red tape, shows
that he regards not the letter merely,
but the spirit of our institutions. and
would yield to no personal ambition
for the extraordinary honor of the sec.
ond full term which many have thought
he would aspire to as matter of course.
The Presidents declaration was per-
feet in form and perfectly timed. It
puts him beyond cavil on the high
plane of disinterested leadership which
is at once powerful and self-restrained.
The obligation laid upon the Re-
publican party in the next four years
is to meet the changing conditions of
American life in the old spirit with
which the party has before adapted
laws and government of new ex.
lgencies. Tax laws must be kept in
harmony with the conditions of in
dustry, laws governing corporations
must be fitted to the latest methods of
business. The powers of government
must be exercised in all directions
conservatively, but progressively,
making American institutions ever a
more perfect instrument of popular
welfare and happiness. 1t is clearly
with this high aspiration that the ad-
ministration will enter upon its new
tenure. 1t will neither "stand pat" in
defence of anything outworn nor run
amuck" in any passion for activity or
innovation. We may not see a new
'era of good feelings" but we shall
have an era of rational progress .-NeaO

CLAIMS OF KANSAS.
Witnesses Declare that Colorado Has
Drained Arkansas
River

Arkansas City. Kan, Aug. 23.-The
taking of testimony in the Kansas
Colorado water suit began here yester-
day before Special Commissioner Rich
ardson. Judge Hoyt of Denver and C.
C. Dawson of Canon City are the Colo
RADIO attorneys present.
DR.. r. A. Patton testified that the
Arkansas river was much more shall
low now than In 1880 and 1890. He
said that of late the underflow had
disappeared entirely. When he first
settled here. he could dig holes etgh-
teen inches deep and find water for his
cattle. Now there is no water at a
depth of three or four feet. The Colo
RADIO attorneys went after DIR. Patton
in cross-examination.
P. II. Franey, another witness, had
lived here since 1878. He was fore
man OF the construction gang which
built the canal in 1881. He also built
an extension to the canal here in 1887
when the river had fallen to such an
extent that the canal could not get
water enough at the original source.
John Myrtle. j. X. Eller. Major
Sleeth and L. e. Woodin testified that
the river now during dry seasons does
not have half as much water as ten
years ago. Sleeth and Woodin are Of
ficers OF the Arkansas City Land and
Improvement Company, which owns
the canal.
Judge j. II. Bonsall. who has lived
here for thirty-five years. testified that
an effort was once made to run steam
boats in the Arkansas river. and that
one boat did come from Little Rock to
this city.

Vladivostok. Aug 23.-The Gromo-
boi and the Rossia present a shattered
appearance. Their smokestacks show
great rents. while their masts, bridges
and ventilators look like sleeves. and
there are marks of battle everywhere.
Guns are dismantled, boats shattered
and there are enormous holes in the
cruisers hulls through which a man
could easily pass. Many of the cabins
were completely wrecked.
Some of the Japanese shells per-
formed queer actions. On the Rossia
a shell burst in a clothes cupboard.
Garments therein were torn to shreds
but a mirror was not scratched. Pho
tographs and knicknacks on a writing
table near by were not disturbed.
In another part of the cruiser the
walls were blackened by the smoke of
a fierce fire in which eight men were
burned alive, yet an almanac on the
wall was not even scorched.
Aboard the Gromoboi a shell entered
the wardrobe and wrecked the furni-
ture. but parrot cage was untouched.
All the officers are full OF praise for
the GOODNESS and bravery of the men
who died in the battle without muir
muir. Comrades took their places with
out awaiting orders. 1t was deadly
work on the upper deck where the
gunners were without protection and
shells striking burst into a thousand
fragments. killing and wounding men
until the deck became veritable
shambles-strewn with dead and dy-
ing and slippery with blood. Not a
single gunner protected by classmates
lost his life. The value of protective
armor was demonstrated whenever a
shot struck the armor portion of the
vessel.
