 Body Burned.

 s. M. Powell of the Metropoli- tan made a thorough investiga- tion of the case, and is thought to have knowledge of Lightle's whereabouts. It is said that the bones found in the stable were from the body of a man named Pitts, who had died several months before. Saturday night the grave was opened and the coffin was found to be empty.
 Mrs. Lightle is exonerated of all blame in trying to defraua the insurance company.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY
 NEAR TUCKERMAN.
White Farmer Shoots His Wife and Then Himself on Place of
 Graham Bros. Monday.

A white farmer named Prater, who has been raising a crop near Swifton, on Monday morning, on the place of Graham Bros., one and a half miles from Tucker man, shot and killed his wife and then ended his own life by charge from the same revolver.
 The family had been separated since last spring, and this wo- man, who had several large chil- dren, was a tenant on the Gra- ham farm.
 Prater spent Saturday and Sun day in Tuckerman and early next morning went to his wife's home. He found her sick in bed and after driving the little children out of the house, wanted to know if she would live with him here after, This she refused to do, though he threatened to kill her. He pulled a revolver from his clothes and shot her through the head. Death was instantaneous.
 He next placed the revolver to his own head and fired another shot, which caused death in about twenty minutes.
 Coroner Frank Harrison held an inquest that day in which the facts brought to light were as given above. \

 He said if the people of Cotter could get enough of the state penitentiary board to vote with him, he would take the time to go to little Rock to cast his vote to remove the convicts from our midst.
 The governor said he was in favor of dividing the school fund more on the color line and let the negro pay for his own schools.
 He spoke severely of Col. Mur- phy and said: We took him from the gutter and made him attorney general"
 Gov. Davis said no Republican dared meet him on the platform in joint discussion. The audience was a very orderly one, giving him close attention.
