JEALOUSY CAUSES DOUBLE MURDER
A Bloody Tragedy Among Lonoke County
 Farm Hands.

Lonoke, May 30.-All through the night and today Sheriff M. c. House conducted a vigorous but vain search for William Estes, the jealousy-crazed man who shot and killed his wife and Robert Aycock four miles south of Lo- noke yesterday. Somewhere in the swampy section Estes is sup posed to be in hiding. There is absolutely no trace of him. Sher- if House has not been able to find any one who has seen Estes since he hurriedly left tue scene of yesterdays double tragedy. Sheriff House declared that he would not cease his labors until every reasonable effort for the capture of Estes shall have been exhausted. He stated that he would ask Governor Davis to offer a reward for the arrest and con- viction of the much wanted man.
 The story of the tragedy, as re- ceived here, is that Estes and wife and Aycock had been work ing in the field and that Estes, being of jealous turn, suspected that Aycock was trying to win the affections of Mrs. Estes. He would not allow her to go to dln- ner at the noon hour today until Aycock returned from his meal. When about o'clock this after noon, Estes went to the field he found his wife and Aycock work ing near each other. He fired at Aycock, killing him instantly. Mrs. Estes started to run when the shooting began. She had not proceeded far when the en- ragged man turned his pistol upon her. At the first shot which he directed at the fleeing woman she fell. The bullet had struck her in the back of the neck, death re- sulting instantly.
 A description of Estes is as fol- lows: He Is a man about five feet and six inches in height, slender, weighs about 155 pounds, has sharp face. black hair, blue eyes and black mustachios.
 The feeling of indignation against Estes has not subsided in the locality where he killed his wife and Aycock, and in the event of his capture it would be an easy task to form a mob for the pur. pose of taking summary ven- geance.

 The Harvard men went out again in the afternoon and also padded to to Thorneycroft. Their stroke was steady, and there was little splash ing. until. on the way back. the crew ran into choppy water and fell out of unison.
