Sensation after sensation was sprung today, following the investi- cations here and, at Clio into the triple assassination, which was cow ardly carried out at Clio. Cleveland county, Monday night and at which Tom Godfrey, manager for the Bluff City Lumber Company there; Clarence l.. Bush, the Cotton Belt agent and telegraph operator at the same place, and A. R. McEwen. visiting vocal teacher from Texas, met death at the hands of a gang of cowardly assassins, all being shot to death. Up to late hour today Bush's body was still missing. Godfrey's body was shipped from this city to Olla, La., last night for interment. McEwen's body was buried in graveyard at Grapevine, Ark, by the Woodmen of the World lodge of that place.
 Chancellor Elliott Busy.
 The first sensational announcement came from the office of Chancellor John M. Elliott, who has been trying for some months to settle lawsuits between the partners of the Bluff City Lumber Company, satisfactorily and without bloodshed. When Chan cellor Elliott learned of the triple tragedy he immediately made an in yestigation. He called John F. Ruth erford and J. B. York before him and demanded that they furnish him with the true facts of the triple trag- edy; that they give details of the causes that led to it and all other in formation. A sawyer named Jamieson, who witnessed the assassinations. is said to have made a statement to Chancellor Elliott giving an exact and true account of the killings. He came to this city immediately afterward and has since remained here, with his wife, fearing harm would come to him if he would return to Clio. Chan cellor Elliott is said to have been told by Captain J. B. York, previ- ous to the trouble of Monday night, that if his co-receiver, John E. Ruth erford, went to Clio on official or other business that it was an almost certainty that he would be assassi-

mated. Chancellor Elliott is said to have almost jumped from his chair, so startled and amazed was he at the statement made by Captain York, who was only a few months ago appointed co-receiver with his life long bus ines partner, John F. Rutherford, to assume charge of all the properties of the Bluff City Humber Company, which owns plants at Clio, Kearney, here and at other points, which rep resent millions of dollars. Chancellor Elliott said that he would not tolerate such sentiment and that unless a re- ceiver from his court could go to Clio or anywhere else to transact bus mess, he would close down the plant and put an end to the business in the interest of good government if nothing else. When the killings were reported yesterday, Chancellor FL liott was not long to act. He imme- diately issued an order, directing the co-receivers to close down the plant and named Arthur R. Brewster, an experienced young lumberman of this city, to assume charge. All en- ployes, excepting several watchmen, have been discharged and following the issuance of the co-receivers' or der yesterday MT. Brewster went to Clio and is in entire control there today.
 Cause of the Trouble.
 The assassinations of Monday night are known to have been principally the result of fight between Bert Me- Cartney, superintendent of the Grant Lumber Company, and Clarence L.. Bush, the agent and telegrapher there for the Cotton Belt, but who was known as a paid employe of the lum- Der company. Bush used revolver with telling effect on McCartney's $ head Godfrey was present and is said to have taken revolvers away from both combatants, fearing that they would kill one another The arrests of the two men followed and they afterwards came to this city. When they returned to Clio Monday night they were assassinated and Me- Ewen, the music teacher, an innocent bystander, was also shot to death by one of the assassins, his slayer evi- dently believing that he was Paul |Castleberry, a friend of Godfrey and Bush who came here with them but did not return to Clio Monday night, when the three men were shot to death. Castleberry is still in Pine Bluff.

day, the big lawsuit between the Rutherford and York interests is be- lieved to have been the beginning of all the trouble It is reliably stated here today that men of prominence will testify at the proper time and bring out evidence sufficient to war rant this assertion. The suit was in- stituted in the Jefferson chancery court some months ago at the in- stance of John F. Rutherford The suit was for receiver, Mr. Ruther- ford asking the court to wind up the affairs of the wealthy company and divide the proceeds according to law. It was shown at the hearing of this suit, which lasted for several days in the chancery court here, that Rob ert York, secretary and treasurer of the company, was the bone of conten- tion largely. After much sensational testimony was heard, charges and counter charges being made, Chancel-
 Tor Elliott brought Mr. Rutherford and Captain York, the two principal stockholders in the company, together and made them agree to act as CO., receivers and satisfactorily adjust all their differences. He ordered them to proceed with their business, as in the past, that they make regular re- ports to him and whenever they could not agree, he was to be consulted. Robert York. the court held. was not to take any part in the business trans actions. nor was he to be consulted by his father or allowed to have a hand in any of the transactions. He was practically excluded from the
 business

How the Men Stood.

Bert McCartney is a partner of J.. B York and Robert York in what is known as the Grant Lumber Compa ny, which owns and operates a plant in Grant county near Clio. It was charged by Rutherford in his suit that the Bluff City Lumber Company's plant at Clio was being used to fur ther the interests of the Grant plant and evidence to this effect was intro duced at the hearing of the big law suit some months ago. McCartney's actions there were involved. When the receivers took charge Bush, who was formerly with the Bluff City Lumber Company at Standard, La., was sent to Clio to work for the con- pany there as agent and telegrapher. He is said to have been friendly to the Rutherford interests and there are rumors in circulation to the effect that he reported certain trans actions to Mr. Rutherford. These statements are said to have been air ed by one of the co-receivers in the chancery court, before Chancellor El- liott. Tom Godfrey was placed in charge of the Bluff City's big plant at Clio. He, to, is said to have been reporting regularly to the co-receiv- CTS. who employed him, and that his reports were not at all favorable to the officials of the Grant Lumber Company, especially Bert Mccartney, who, although superintendent of the Grant Humber Company in Grant county, spent most of his time at Clio. Naturally there was some feel ing between Mccartney and Bush and the Grant county man and Tom God frey; in fact, it was well known fact around Clio that the men were at outs. The men gave vent to their feelings last Wednesday, when Bush accused Bert Mccartney of grounding his telegraph wires, in the railroad office at Clio Mccartney is said to have admitted that he grounded the wires, declaring that the ticker inter- fered with his hearing, while talking over the telephone. The fight result ed.
 It is stated further that c. l.. Brown ing had defied the authority of John F. Rutherford, the cO-receiver, when tMr. Rutherford went to the local of flee of the Bluff City Lumber Com pany and asked for statement of the company's affairs. A clerk in the office is said to have been asked by Mir. Rutherford to make out the state ment and when he went there for 1t the clerk is reported to have told Mir. Rutherford that MT. Browning in- structed him not to give it to him.
