UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR
M. Chaney, Station Agent at Madi- son, Kills Vim. Barr, Negro,
 in Self Defense.

An unfortunate affair occurred at
 hdison, town Of several hundred bpuation, on St. Francis river, four
 les east of this city, last Sunday af-
 moon, resulting in the killing of a
 gro named Wm. Barr.
 Barr has posed for long time as a ly in and around Madison, and on
 eral occasions, while under the in-
 ence of liquor, terrorized the com
 unity.
 bn Sunday afternoon he came to
 station of the ChOctaw Railroad
 that place, and passing through the
 hite waiting room, entered the office
 the agent, and demanded ticket D Memphis. MT. K. M. Chaney, the |gent, told him to go around to the tolored waiting room ticket window, and he would issue him ticket. Barr went to the colored waiting room, threatening and cursing at every step. MT. Clancy politely requested him to stop such talk and conduct, and Barr replied, God damn you, you better try to make me-" and at the same time made an attempt to draw wea- pon, whereupon MT. Chaney quickly reached his revolver from it's drawer, and fired at Barr through the window at close range, the ball entering the ne- gro's throat, and breaking his neck. His death was instantaneous, and as he fell his right hand was in close proximity to the pistol he was reach ing for, and which seemed to have hung in his pocket.
 After the shooting, MT. Chaney tele- phoned what he had done to the sher- iii, who went immediately to the scene of the tragedy and placed Mr. Clancy under arrest, pending the cor oner's inquest.
 Coroner Todd was promptly notified, and at o'clock impanelled jury. They examined the body, and adjourn ed until g o'clock Monday morning, to meet at the courthouse in Forrest City. The jury met pursuant to ad- Journment, and after close examina- tion and careful investigation, rem dered the following verdict:
 We the jury find, after full and deliberate investigation, that deceased, Wm. Barr, came to his death from a pistol shot by the hands of F. NJ. Cha hey, who acted in self-defense. and we Fully exonorate MT. K. NJ. Chaney from all blame in this action, and further direct the coroner, MT. F. F. Todd, to discharge Mir. F. M. Chaney from GUS tody.
 We also found upon the person of the deceased s5.95 in coin, one 5O-cent piece made into monogram pin, one Forehand Arms Co. 38-calibre pistol, four chambers loaded.

MT. J. A. Kings, Mckenzie, Ten nessee, says: "I have had good deal of suffering and bad health from indi- gestion and torpid liver for eighteen or twenty years, and can truthfully say that pr.

fered broken leg by being caught between
a horse which he was riding and a timber

though he said upon arriving here that he
felt several times that he must give up.
Knowing, however, what difficulty would
attend any attempt to dismount, and how
well-nigh impossible 1t would be for him TO
remount in the event that he succeeded in
getting safely of his horse the ranchman
grtted his teeth and kept on. After hav-
Ing his leg set by a surgeon Of this city,
Farland collapsed and It was late in the
afternoon before he was able to proceed
homeward in a carriage, the accident hav-
