CHARLES CARNAHAN KILLED
Shot to Death Thursday by A
 B. Winters.
Bad Blood Existing Between Neighbors Re suits in Tragedy Southwest
 of Conway.

On last Thursday at about five o'clock in the afternoon A. B. Winters shot and killed Charles Carnahan near the gate of Winters field, about ten miles southwest of Conway.
 Winters and Carnahan were neighbors and lived on adjoining farms. It is alleged that for some time bad blood has existed between the two and those who knew of the feeling between them express no surprise that their trouble has term mated in bloodshed.
 The inquest was held over the body of Carnahan on last Friday by Coroner J. H. Pence, and as a result Winters was committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy except Winters and his wife, and neither of these testi- fled before the coroner's jury. It is said however that Winters, in statements made after the killing claimed that Carnahan was over in his (Winters') field, driving out some of his (Carnahan' s) stock and that Carnahan was armed with shot gun and became abusive and violent towards Winters and that Winters thereupon went into his house and got his shot gun and when he got back to where Carna- han was, Carnahan raised his gun to shoot Winters, who then fired the fatal shot. Dick Harris was the first one to reach Carnahan's body after the killing. He was called to Carnahan's home by Mrs. Carnahan, who had heard the shot and feared there had been trouble. He went up towards Winters house and was halted by Winters, who demanded to know who he was and what he wanted. Harris told him that he was looking for Carna- | han and Winters then showed him the body, stating that he had kill ed him, but had only done what he had been expecting to have to do for some time. Carnahan was shot with load of buck shot, most of the shot taking effect in his neck !, and entering, as it is claimed, from the left side. A loaded shot gun was found by the side of Carnahan.
 It is said that Carnahan's wife stated that her husband had been out in their peanut patch, shooting crows, and was coming home, when he met her starting into Winters field to drive out their COW. He told her that he would drive the COW out and she then went on into the house.
 Application for bail was made by Winters through his attorneys, Sam Frauenthal and B. T. Bullion to County Judge Lea on last Tues day. but the matter was continued by the court until today (Thurs- day) on the request of Deputy Pros ecuting Attorney Robins, who stat

 missioner
r., Hendrix and Galloway Colleges, by Appointment of Bishop Hendrix
 at Corinth, Mississippi.

The positive announcement that Dr lanes Thomas will be contin- ned in his work as educational commissioner for Hendrix and Gal lowav colleges was welcome news to friends of these institutions everywhere. The matter was defn- itely arranged at Corinth, Miss. last Wednesday, when delegation waited upon Bishop Hendrix to urge this action.
 In speaking of the matter, Presi- dent Anderson of Hendrix College says:
 "It is we'll known that the boards of trustees of Hendrix and Galloway colleges elected Rev. lanes Thomas commissioner of education some months ago. At the recent session of the Little Rock conference, held by Bishop lanes Atkins, Rev. Thomas was transferred to the North Mississip- pi conference in session at Corinth, presided over by Bishop E. K. Hendrix. Immediately after the transfer of Rev. Thomas was an nounced, a committee, composed of Capt. w. w. Martin, Conway L. B. Leigh, Little Rock; Rev. F. s. H. Johnston, Fort Smith, and myself went to Corinth to confer with Bishop Hendrix. The whole matter was finally adjusted by Rev. James Thomas requesting a location that his untrammeled ser vices might be given in Arkansas to Hendrix and Galloway colleges. This is in every way a most satis- factory arrangement. MT. Thomas has been doing some work for the schools since his election in June. He has already secured three large gifts amounting to S75,ooo. Oi this sum $65 ,ooo is for endowment for Hendrix College and $Io, ,ooc for new buildings at Galloway. The friends of these schools believe that this is but the beginning o1 great things for Christian educa- ton in Arkansas and are jubilant. '
 Tribute to pr. Thomas.
 Commenting on the transfer ol Dr. Thomas, last weeks Texar- kama Texarkanian had the follow ing to say:
 e It is known that there IS prac- tically unanimous desire among the Methodist of the state that Brother Thomas remain i'll Arkan- sas as financial agent for Hendrix and Galloway colleges, to which position he was selected by the trustees several weeks ago. And 1t is still believed here that 1t IS possible to bring about an arrange ment whereby the action ot the Little Rock conference at Warren may be reconsidered to the extent at least of allowing Brother Thom- as to serve in this field for which his talents and experience so emi- nently fit him.
