FORMER SENATOR
 CARMACk KILLED
Meets Death at Hands of Robin Cooper, a Lawyer
 Carmack Wounds Cooper

Nashville, Tenn. Nov. 3. As a sequel to the recent bitter Democratic primary for the gubernatorial nomnalion, Ewd. Ward Carmack, former United States senator from Tennessee. was shot and killed in |, stree, duel here this aftcrnool. by Robin Cooper, a young attorney. Young Cooper was wounded in the shculde by a bullet from Car mack's revolver and is tonight under police surveillance in a local hospital. His condition is not serious. Col. Duncan B. Cooper, it is declared, drew his pistol, but did not fire. Senator Carmack fell to the ground, dying instant- ly. It is understood that the trouble is one of the results of the recent gubernatorial primary in which Carmack was defeated. Carmack has, since he has been editor of the Tennessean, been quite caustic in criticising what he called the Democratic machine and has had several editorials about Colonel Cooper.

IS SKAG6S SATISFIED?

Elijah Skaggs is at last in the penitentiary and there is no hope of his getting out unless the gov. ernor should pardon him. and Gov. Pindall says he is not nov ed with any such inclinations at present.
 Skaggs was delivered at the penitentiary yesterday morning by Sheriff Burt Roberts, through a mandate issued from the Su- preme Court, and an hour later he appeared in the office to be registered, attired in a spacious suit of the customary white and black stripes. His head was shaven close and his looks were much changed by the loss of his flowing locks. When the doors closed on Skaggs, the prophet lost much of his buoyant spirit, for he seemed to realize there was no hope for him, and 2l years of long servitude was be- fore him. He did not fail to ask to be hanged, however, in order that he might rise again on the third day and save the world from sin.
 Superintendent Pitcock this morning stated that he could not keep Skaggs in the idleness of confinement, and would send him either to the brick plant ol rock crusher to work, leaving it to the gardens there to see he started no mutiny with his re. ligiOus rawlings.
 Skaggs was sent up from Fort Smith for the alleged crimina asssulting of one of his follow ore
