MYSTERIOUS MURDER
 OF NIGHT WATCHMAN
At Blissville in Chicot Lumber Company's Yards-Body is Missing, But Clothes and
 Pool of Blood Found.

Blissville, April 17.-One of the most mysterious murders ever committed in this commit nifty is now engaging the atten- tion of the authorities. Riley Ponder, aged 19 years, night watchman in the yards of the Chicot Lumber Company, was assassinated Wednesday night and the body has not yet been recovered.
 He was last seen on Wednes- day evening. His midnight lunch was found untouched. Friday afternoon his jumper was found in the yards under pile of lum- Der. There was also found on Saturday forenoon pool of blood on the railroad track about an eighth of a mile from the yards. There was the imprint of a mans knees near the pool of blood, made by man wearing course overalls. There were also tracks leading from the place into the woods. A large party of mill hands and other citizens have been searching for the body.
 Ponder came here from Evans vile, Ind, about a year ago and had been a faithful and trusted employe of the lumber company. He recently had a difficulty with some negroes, who are suspected of the crime.

 MT. Keel asked that the bill be amended to read Bryan town ship as formerly, to which Mir. Tarver objected, as he thought Keel was a more popular name in Jackson county than was Bryan. The name was changed to Bryan, however, by MT. Ruff withdrawing his amendment and the bill passed by a vote of GA to 3.

LONOKE VETERANS
 JOIN IN PROTEST,
Believing "Profane Hands o1 Governor Davis a Desc cration of Sacred Relics
 of the Past"

Lonoke, April IT. Camp James Mcintosh of the United Confederate Veterans at this place, has passed resolutions protesting against Governor Jeff Davis presenting the returned confederate flags or in any way participating in the ceremonies of the United Confederate Vete- rans at their reunion in Louis- vile, Ky. They declare that it would be a desecration to allow these sacred relics of the past Ito be handled by the profane hands of Governor Davis, who has treated the confederate vete- rans of Arkansas with indiffer- ence and contempt and totally ignored their united appeal in behalf of one of their number, " and it being the only appeal ever made to him by them in their character of United Confederate Veterans. They also declare that they would have the flags re- main forever in the custody of the state, rather than accept them from Governor Davis.
