TWO MAIDENS
 KILL PANTHER.

Van Buren, April 23. This morning Misses Ella Dyer and Kate Strong, aged 15 and IS re- spectively, discovered a large female panther in Mir. .Dyer's barnyard and decided to capture it. They followed it to it's lair in a rocky ledge in a canyon and could see the animal plainly, and tried to dislodge 1t with poles but failed. Miss Strong remained on guard while Miss Dyer returned home, secured some rags, satur- ated them with oil and returned to her companion. Tying the rags to a pole they ignited it, thursting the burning mass through the opening through which the panther had crawled. Blinded by smoke and flames the infuriated beast finally crawled out into the open air and as it Writhed in agony on the ground was beaten to death by the young ladies with clubs.

IN ROLE OF DEFECTIVE
Cost Young Gotham His Life, Says Sheriff Williams and May Result in the Death
 of His Brother.

1 Sheriff R. L. Williams was
 among the Hot Springs citizens in the capital city Thursday, says the Little Rock Gazette. He stated that the authorities have
 been unable to gain any clue
 concerning the assassination of the Gotham brothers in Marble township, Garland county, last Tuesday. After an investigation Sheriff Williams adheres to the theory that the shooting down of the two brothers was due to ani- moslties aroused by the efforts of one of the Cotnams to enact the role of detective. By means of a
 badge procured from one of the numerous metropolitan detective agencies that advertise for men
 to act as their representatives, Gotham sought to establish rep utatlon as a sleuth. His conduct evidently made enemies for him,
 but the officers are at loss to fasten responsibility for the fatal shots fired from ambush last Tues day which ended the life of one Gotham and may result in a
 double tragedy, as the other Gotham is not expected Ito live.
 It is said that the latter has made
 8 statement in which he expresses the belief that a certain man is the assassin, but he adds that he could not see the man that fired
 upon him and his brother, as the bullets came from under cover. There is no evidence as yet
 upon which an arrest can be
 made and it seems likely that
 the tragedy will never be ac-
 counted for. One theory is
 that the killing may have been
 done by a man who is 3 fugitive
 from another state, but this is a
 mere suspicion, as it will prob ably develop that Gotham made
 more than one enemy by his as
 duity in the role of detective. One of Sheriff Williams deputies
 went to the scene of the assas-
 sination and made an investiga-
 tion, which failed to develop
 enough facts to form the basis
 of an arrest. In time the ques-
 tion of guilt may be solved, but
 at present the affair may be set
 down as one of those mysterious
 tragedies in the hills that bafl1e the skill of the authorities.

ROBBED OF
 THREE PURSES.

\ Eureka Springs, Ark, April 21. B. J. Taussig, a well-known
 St. Louisan, who is at the Cres-
 cent, was robbed of three purses
 containing S160, Saturday. While
 Mir. Taussig and wife were talk l ing an outing, Charles Brandt
 gan, the hotel houseman, entered their room, purloined the purses and struck for the hills on foot. where he engaged farmer to drive him to Seligman, on the Frisco, twenty miles distant. In attempting to cross White river, near Beaver, six miles north on the St. l.. < N. A., the driver missed the ford, and both occu- pants were thrown into the rapid stream, from which Brandigan's s rescuers, after a prolonged strug- gle, lowed him ashore by the hair. His disappearance had been noted at the hotel, and Officer Gunter dispatched by the first train, in pursuit. When he reached Beaver station he found Brandigan coddled between warm blankets in a room at the hotel Swope, and from the pockets of the dripping clothing which hung on 3 chair nearby, the officer drew the missing bank notes, so saturated and compressed as to require the most careful handling in their separation to prevent mutilation and loss. Brandigan was bound over to the grand jury and sent to the Berryville jail.

GETTING TOGETHER.

Little Rock, April 24. It is now practically settled that the two factions of Arkansas Repub- icans will get together when the two conventions meet in Little Rock on May IT and drop all past differences. Chairman H. l.. Remmel of the regular Republi- can state central committee and B. M. Foreman of Texarkana, the leader of the insurgent wing of the party, met at the bankers banquet in this city the oth r night and shook hands for the first time in four years. The two leaders had a brief conference and parted good friends. Am bassador Powell Clayton will reach Little Rock from the City of Mexico the latter part of next week, when the matter will be finally disposed of. It is well known that Gen. Clayton is very anxious to see his party again united.
