Acquitted Of Crime is
Shot from Ambush
II Clay Grubb and Companion are
Shot From Behind. -Neither
is Fatally Wounded.

Charlotte, N. G., May ga
special from Salisbury, N. c.,
says: H Clay Grubb, who was
acquitted by the jury here on Snt-
urday morning of the charge of
killing Obs Davis, was shot from
ambush seven miles from sails
bury, near the Davidson county
line, at S.45 o'clock this morning.
His wounds are not dangerous.
A companion, Clarence Thomp-
son, received load of buckshot
in his back but is not seriously
injured.
The two men left Gruhb's
home, across the line in Davidson
county early this MOI ming, with
the intention of going to Salisbury.
They were attacked from ambu sh
while passing through n stretch of
woods. Grubb was shot three
times, the shot taking effect IN
his side, fnce and arm.
Thompson received only one
lond of buckshot in his back.
The weapons nsed were shot
guns.
The party of assassins consisted
OF two negroes, one of whom the
victims of this dastardly assault
recognized as Nat Crump, anoto-
rious negro who attempted to Kill
Grubb several years ago.
The assailnnls, thinking per
haps they had accomplished their
crime, turned and fed. Crump's
associates were not recognized.
Grubb and Thompson drove
rapidly to salisbury, where their
wounds were dressed.
Sheriff Julian of Rowan county
was notified at once and n posse
of over 200 men started immedi-
! atelyin pursuit of the assussins.
There Is considerable excite.
ment and should the criminals be
caught they will likely have a
| close call. At midnight the me-
groes had not been captured.
Crump will be outlawed tomor-
row.

man and W 7. Williams secre-
tary.
We find on investigation that
thers are ware house facilities at
Lancaster, Heath Springs and
kershaw, sufficient TO take care
OF all cotton that has been
offered for storage up to this
time and at lowest prevailing
ratea, and we understand from
the parties who control these
ware houses that they are pre-.
pared TO enlarge them to meet
any increased demands, at the
same time the field Is open to
other merchants, bankers or far.
mers to build additional ware
houses at these points, should
they deem it profitable or neces-
sary. This applies to the centre
and lower part of the county.
We understand that there are
no ware house facilities at Osce-
ola, Van Wyck or Waxhaw,
which are tributary to the upper
portion or Panhandle of this
county. We would recommend
that the farmers of this section
urge upon the merchants the
importance of building ware
house to take care of their cotton
and issue receipts on same. In
case they cannot prevail on the
merchants to build ware houses
that they cooperate with each
other at these points men .ioned
and build ware houses sufficient
to 500 to 1000 bales at each of
these points. We find that ware
house facilities are provided at
Fort Mill, which will take care
of all the cotton offered for stor.
age in the upper portion of the
Panhandle of this county.
We would strongly recon-
mend that the farmers stors their
cotton and discontinue the iniq-
uitous and wasteful practice of
throwing their cotton out on the
ground aud leaving it exposed
to the weather, and they should
either carry their cotton to the
nearest town and store it in the
warehouses, Or they should build
private cotton houses of their
own on their own premises and
store their cotton out OF the
weather. We are told by the
warehousemen at Lancaster,
Heath Springs and Kershaw
that they are prepared to ad.
vance reasonable amount at all
times on cotton stored in their
ware houses and at the lowest
prevailing rates of interest.

O'NEAL ON TRIAL
 ON MURDER CHARGE
For Shooting of William Orr of Alicia - Newport Attorneys Counsel for Both State
 and Defendant.

Walnut Ridge, March 9.-Cir- cult court is in session here with Judge Fulkerson presiding. The most important case for the term was called Wednesday. It was the case of the state vs. Edgar .O'Neal, charged with killing Wm. Orr at Alicia last March. He was indicted for murder in the second degree. He has been under a $5,OOO bond since that time.
 The first afternoon was spent empaneling a jury and upon ad- journment for the day only ten had been secured. A special venire has been drawn for today.
 The prominence of the inter- ested parties makes the case one of special interest and there is a great array of legal talent on both sides and every inch of the ground will be contested. The attorneys for the state are w. A. Oldfeld, prosecuting attorney, assisted by Chas. Coffin, H. L.. Ponder and J. M. Stayton. The defense is represented by J. w. Phillips, Silas D. Campbell and M. M. Stuckey.

GOVERNOR NAMES
 THE LEVEE BOARD
While Bill is Pending to Take Appointive Power Away
 From the Executive.

Little Rock, March 9.-Gov. Davis yesterday announced the appointment of the men who will compose the St. Francis levee board for the next year. Only three of the old members are reappointed, and speculation is rife as to cause for the removal of the other five members of the old board. The fact that the ap- pointments are made at this time, while a bill is pending in the senate that will take the ap- pointment of this board out of the hands of the governor, is significant.
 The bill introduced in the sen- ate by Senator o. N. Killough, a member of the board which re- tires April 1, provides for the ap- pointment of the new board and the members named in the bill are to serve for two, four, six and eight years. The bill was read the first and second times and was placed on the calendar.
 The appointment, coming on top of this and the fact that Senator Killough's name is not included in the list, is taken to mean that the governor does not wish the senate to meddle with the board.
 The board appointed by Gov. Davis is as follows:
 James R. Bush, vice William Mccoy, Phillips county.
 H. F. Roleson. Lee county, to succeed himself.
 M. H. Ford, Lee county, vice T. H. Magee, resigned.
 Oscar Wolf, vice E. A. Rolfe, St. Francis county.
 A. H. Hammett, vice o. N. Killough, Cross county.
 Walter Higginbotham, vice w. w. Cate, Craighead county.
 J. E. Clanton, Craighead coun- ty, to succeed himself.
 H. s. Tomilson, Mississippi county, to succeed himself.

THE LEGISLATURE. . b~NANNNN%~NN~lNN<

own again, and Winski Czar Eau cette of Argenta, who stole his realm from the capital city, may have his vest-pocket city return ed to it's rightful guardian. The house has adopted the Brooks
 municipal consolidation bill by the decisive vote of AZ to 25. Hon. John H. Keel made one of the strongest speeches in fa- vor of the measure, declaring that when the capital city was moved from Arkansas Post to Little Rock the pioneers had pledged their sons to the guardianship of that city. In 1889, when Argenta va s taken in by Little Lock, it had 2,000 people, against about 5000 when it separated last year, and it's wealth more than quad rupled. Little Rock had done more than any other part of the county in the building of the free bridge and contributed $3O,OOO toward the re ,uild- ing of the Iron Mountain shops, yet it had been said that the people were being taxed to death and were receiving no benefit. He then proceeded to touch up the trickery of Faucette; how, after his defeat for mayor cf Little Rock, the Walnut Ridge Hoxie act had been successfully pushed through the legislature under the disguised name. He declared that a vote for the Brooks bill was to right the wrong and a vote against was an endorsement of the trickery and treachery practiced by Faucette. The mayor of Little Rock had said, he declared, that there should be no gambling on this side of the river, and that the mayor of Argenta had invited pool rooms, crap shooters and faro players to his city. The dignity ana honor of the state was in question, he said, and he wanted to cast his vote for the bill because he thought it was in the interest of morality. If the bill was passed, he said, it meant the upbuilding of great city for Arkansas capital.
 R. L. Mooney, who has re- gently been released from the New Gascony convict camp, has story of brutality to tell that may assist Governor Davis in making good his recent charges. He declares that one warden whipped the convicts until within two hours of death, compelled +hnro to work when sick refl1Sed permission to write letters, de- nied medical attention and beat them unmercifully for reporting his outrages to an inspector. A thorough investigation should be had, for the word of a convict cannot always be relied upon, but if these sensational charges be we'll founded the governor is in- l JooJ .,,o+,HoJ ,x, b,o ,oAno+,oxc
