A negro named Albert Brown shot and killed his wife at the plant of the City Ice Company in Little Rock A few hours before the tragedy Brown and several companions were arrested for shooting craps. He paid his fine and returned to the ice plant, and in a few moments his wife appeared and demanded that Brown accompany her home When he refused 10 do so the woman drew a revolver and a fight took place Brown wrenched the pis- tol from the woman and began firing. The first shot struck her in the left arm and ranged up to the shoulder. She then turned and ran, Brown fol lowing, continuing shooting. At the third shot the woman fell and Brown rushed up to where she lay and de- liberately fired the fourth bullet into her body. She died before reaching the hospital.

Wild Engine Wrecks Coaches.

An incoming freight and an Iron Mountain switch engine collided at a point one mile south of the union depot in Little Rock. and few min utes thereafter the engine. which had been reversed and deserted just before colliding with the freight, dashed Into string of empty coaches on side track. The force of the first collision derailed several ears and considerably damaged the freight engine, but as the switch engine was backing out only the tender was derailed. In it's run toward the city the switch engine broke loose from the tender A watchman saw the runaway in time to switch it onto side track ana probably prevented a more serious wreck, as train filled with passen' gers was standing on the main line Tn front of the depot about hundred yards away.

A case involving the title to nearly million and quarter acres of land in different parts of this state was de- cided in federal court last week. The lands involved were those granted to the old St Louis and Memphis Rail road Company in 1873 Title was claimed by the grantees of the rail- road company on the ground that they had not been forfeited Judge Trieber decided against the railroad company grantees and in favor of the present owners, the defendants. The suit was filed in the eastern division of the eastern district of the federal court at Helena, about three years ago, and has been pending since that time. The plaintiff, whose name is Tunnels. is a resident of another state, and the defendants were Adelia Boice and Alberta Shark, grantees of Allan Shark, who redeemed the land and paid taxes on it until he sold it. The actual number of acres involved in this suit was between 10000 and 12,000 The actual ques- tion involved was the validity of the deeds 10 this old St Louis and Mem phis Railroad Company, The road was surveyed from Hoxie to Mem phis. but was never built The sur vey was afterward taken by the Kan sas City Fort Scott and Memphis railroad. now the Frisco. The total deeds secured by the road in 1878 are said to have been about twelve hundred thousand acres The deeds contained the condition that the road should be built and completed with in three years. Stock and bonds in the road were 10 be issued in pay ment for the lands The old railroad company conveyed the lands to Run. nels, who brought the suit. The de- fendants contended that the condi- tion in the deed was in law "prece- dent condition" that no title was ever vested, that it was not to be vested until the road was built, and that as the road was never built the title was never vested in the railroad company Judge Trieber held that this was the proper view of the case. and decided that the title never did vest in the railroad company

Hardware Men in Convention.

The Arkansas Retail Hardware Deal CTS held their seventh annual conven- ton last week at Little Rock with the largest attendance in the history of the association. The question. how best to deal with what is known as the catalogue houses of the larger cities. was discussed at length. It was decided 10 bring pressure to bear on manufacturers and jobbers to enlist their aid In dealing with such con cerns. IL was also decided to educate the public to the fact that in many cases the catalogue houses supply material inferior to that offered by the retail dealers, relying on a slight re- duetion from the price of the staple article to secure an order. Strong resolutions were adopted opposing the parcels post bill now before congress. The resolution points out that such bill would be disastrous to the small dealers in many respects. and be of no benefit to the general public, as under the proposed system the govern deficiency in the postal department every year. The money to make up this deficiency must come necessarily from the general fund directly. and the people indirectly. the only class to be benefited in the long run being the large mail order houses of the east. Hamp Williams of Hot Springs was elected president and C. E. Taylor of Little Rock secretary-treasurer for the ensuing year
