GRANT oCLESBY
 FATALLY SHOT
TWO NEGROES IN DUEL TODAY
Frank Price Shoots His Tenant
 Near This City.
Wounded Negro's Gun Snapped, but Prices Aim was True-Oglesby Can
 not Recover

Frank Price, negro preacher, shot and fatally wounded Grant Oglesby, a negro tenant, at Prices place on Caney creek three miles east of this city, about 6 o'clock this morning.
 About thirty squirrel shot en- tered Oglesby's breast and stom- ach, and although ne is reported alive at noon today, Dr. w. R. Greeson, who attended him, says the negro cannot recover: Price, as soon as the shooting was over, sent word to Sheriff w. M. Brady, and Deputy J. s. Johnson placed him under arrest. He was taken before Justice of the Peace w. T. Wilson this morning and put un- der bond of $500 appears in that court on Nov. 20, on a charge ot assault with intent to kill. Price made his bond and was released.
 Price's Story of Shooting.
 According to Prices story of the shooting, Oglesby, who was cul- tivating some of Prices land on the shares, had previously threatened him on account of some trivial dis agreement. About daylight this morning, Price says, Oglesby' S wite came to his house and he gave her some instructions about gath ering some cotton. When the wo. man repeated his words to Oglesby, the latter became very much in- censed and grabbed his gun and came running up to Prices house, only few rods distant.
 Price claims that he induced Oglesby to back without having any trouble the first time, but that the latter turned around and again came in his direction with his gur pointed toward Price. Price then fired at Oglesby, who dropped his gun and went home.
 Oglesby's gun was found by Deputy Sheriff Johnson in the place where Price claimed it was dropped. The gun contained a loaded shell the cap of which was indented by the hammer, showing it had snapped.

IRE OF REV. AIMS AROUSED Agitation to Secure Repeal Of Anti-Racing Law Brings Strong Condemnation from Leader
 of the Reform
 Movement.

Little Rock, Nov. IS.-Returning to Hot Springs from the State Bap- tist Convention in Fayetteville to find the citizens of the City of Va DOTS had met and again started an agitation to secure the repeal of the Amis race track law, Rev. w. T. Amis addresses stinging state ment to the Arkansas Democrat, which appears in the issue of that paper this afternoon. Rev. Amis charges the papers of Hot Springs with incorrectly quoting the mass meeting, and claims those in favor of the repeal of the law stayed after the meeting had adjourned end then passed resolutions favoring racing and gambling. He says he does not believe the law will be repealed, as the opponents of the law cannot muster up the opposi- tion against the bill they did in the last session of the legislature, Do you suppose for minute Arkansas will allow itself to become a dump ing ground for American gamblers? Do you suppose Arkansas will at this late day beat a retreat on mat ters that pertain to morals and state honor?" asks Rev. Amis in a part of his statement.
 'I don't believe" he continues, that if every man, woman and child in Hot Springs wanted race track gambling the legislature
