CAUSTIC LETTER

 Specific Reason Given.

Forrest City, April 10. Quite a sensation in political circles was sprung by ex-Sheriff W. E. Will Hams upon his return from a re- cent visit to Little Rock, where he denounced Gov. Davis in large red letters and exhibited 2 letter to the governor in which he resigned his position upon the state board of charities.
 MT. Williams allegiance to the governor has for years been of state notoriety and to him is ascribed in a great measure the governors victory in carrying the county at the recent primary. Speculation as to the real cause of the breach between the two men is rife.

BLACK RIVER MAY

High Water May Carry River Back Into Old Channel-Tie
 Company's Heavy Loss.

Black Rock, April 10. The water is flowing over the levee above Pocahontas, says the Tele- nhone, and an immense amount of water is flowing down Run- ningwater valley four miles east of here. Runningwater is an ancient Black river bed, the up- per end of which has been filled, and only twice in the last fifteen wears has the river been high enough to send water down that way. That the river might cut it's way through there again, which would leave Black Rock an inland town and destroy an i'm mense amount of the best farm ing land in the county, as the lowlands knoWnas Runningwater valley is about twenty miles long and embraces many thousand of acres of the most fertile lands in the state. This being the fact, it is demanded that the levee to protect this land should be raised and kept ID.

MAY BE MURDER.
Cbarred Remains of Negro Can ada Found in Ruins of Home
 Destroyed by Fire.

Auvergne is worked up over
 what appears to be a brutal case of uxorcide. A negro named Canada, living near that town, IS thought to have murdered his wife, cutting off her limbs and leaving her body within the home, while he proceeded to cover the tracks of his crime by burning the house.
 The cabin occupied by the ne- groes was burned Saturday even- ing about 7 o'clock, and though 1t was known to the neighbors that Canada and his wife had not lived together peacefully, no one suspected foul play, as Canada said his wife was at a neighbours house. He, too, ex- pressed his intention of spend- ing the night there.
 He skipped the country, how ever, and on Sunday morning the charred remains of his wife Were found. His story and sub iequent action go to confirm the apparent theory of murder.
