to Escape.

Forrest City, Aug. 21. City Marshal w. w. Rainbolt was shot and killed yesterday by John Williams, a desperate negro ex- convict who was attempting to make his excape.
 Prior to the shooting ofs.Rain- bolt Williams shot and Eprobably fatally wounded Wm. Murphree, a deputy sheriff. ff.skMurphree's condition is serious and is not ex- pected to live.
 About 7 o'clock last night De- putty Sheriff Murphree located Williams and attempted to arrest him on an old charge. The ne- gro concealed himself behind a fence when he saw the officer coming and shot at him four times, the first shot penetrating his windpipe.
 Murphree fell before he had an opportunity of pulling his pis- tol and returning the fire. He was taken to Shields & Hamil- tons drug store and the best medical attention given him.
 At a late hour he was still con- scious, but bleeding internally, and fears were entertained for his recovery.
 Immediately after Murphree was shot, City Marshal w. W. Rainbolt, Deputy Sheriff R. K. Swan, Night Marshal W. A. Scott and others were in swift pursuit. It was then that Rain bolt 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.

A peculiar phase of this multi colored case has developed through the Masons.
 It appears that when Edward Pitts body was buried for the second time in a grave on the Lightle lot the ceremony was conducted with Masonic nonors;;
 Dr. Lightle was Mason and the ceremony was conducted by .Tohn V. Roberts, worshlpful master of the Searcy lodge. Pitts was not a Mason and it will be charged that certain Masons officiating at the funeral were cognizant of the fact that 1t was Pitts and not Lightle who was being buried.

DR. LIGHTLE RESTS IN JAIL.
Searcy Doctor Made Notorious by Alleged Attempt to De- fraud Insurance Compa- nies Now Behind
 the Bars.

Searcy, Aug. 21. Dr. R. c. Lightle, who unexpectedly re- turned to Searcy early Saturday morning and entered the empty residence of his mother, volun- tarily surrendered himself to the authorities yesterday and is now held in the county jail in default of a $5, 900 bond on the combined charges of grave robbery and ar son.
 Dr. Lightle arrived in Searcy Saturday morning about 12::30 o'clock. He went immediately to the home of his mother, who was out of the city, opened the win dow, walked into the house and called by his wife by long dis tance telephone. Dr. Lightle came to Higginson from Mem- phis, where he claims to have been for the past several days. From Higginson he came to Searcy by special conveyance. The first intimation of his pres- ence in the city was the fact that he called up his wife over the long distance telephone. At that hour practically every one in Searcy was asleep, and it was 7:30 o'clock in the morning be- fore it became generally known that he had returned.
 Dr. Lightle's voluntary home coming caused a sensation in Searcy and was a sole absorbing topic of conversation from an early hour this morning until late at night. Very few believed he was dead, but at the same time it was not thought that he would voluntarily surrender himself to the authorities.
 He was asked yesterday con- 'cerning the body of Pitts, and who brought it to his house.
 A negro and a white man, :"  he replied.
 Further questioning as to the identity of the men proved fu- tile. He would mention no names.
 Asked why he had returned home, he replied that he Twas tired of staying away"
 A representative of one of the insurance companies which paid a policy carried by him, has an- n1sunced that Dr. ILiightle and his fellow conspirators will be prose- cuted to the full extent of the law.
