Neeress Kills Negro With Gun

Willis Brown, negro about 20 years old, was shot and killed Tuesday af ternoon about 5:30 o'clock by Mary Jane Done, a negress aged 35, on the bridge which crosses Fourche bayou two miles east of Sweet Home, on the Frazier pike. The woman used a shot gun. She was taken to Little Rock and lodged in jail,
 There were no witnesses to the kill ing, but it is said that the negress was trying to get the boy to go home and upon his refusal she shot him with shotgun. He fell dead on the bridge.
 The women then went to the house of her brother-in-law, Henry Done, nearly a half mile distant, and hid in a wardrobe, where Alien Hunter, ne gro constable. and negro deputies found her. She was then taken to the city.
 She asserts that she was only play ing with the weapon and that the kill ing was accidental.

Department Won't Pardon peserter.

Department Won't Pardon Deserter.
 Governor Pindall has received a let ter from the War Department to the effect that that department, together with high officials of the government, could not see fit to pardon Jas. J. At kins, who is wanted at Fl Dorado this month to stand trial, but who is now serving a term of imprisonment at Alcatraz island, Cal, for desertion.
 The petition for pardon was made ia order to help Atkins bondsmen out of a predicament, as they will likely be compelled to pay the bond they furnish for Atkins unless he shows up at Fl Dorado for trial this month It is possible, however, that they will not be relieved from the payment of the bond by the governor, considering the circunsstances in the case.
 Atkins was tried on the charge of desef:ion from the army at Fort Slo- cum, N. Y, August 16, 1906, and sen .enced to 15 months imprisonment and hard labor at the Pacific branch of the United States military prison on Alcatraz island, Cal. His term will expire November 19.

Robber Killed While at Work.

In an attempt made by roberS at 3 o'clock Thursday morning to blow the safe in the bank at Springtown, small place IA miles west of Spring dale in Benton county, the building in which the bank was located was wrecked by an explosion of dynamite and one of the robbers was killed by having his head blown completely from his body.
 It is thought that the explosion oc- cured while the robbers were attempt ing to put in the charge, as the man who was killed seems to have been very close to the charge when 1t eX- ploded. Though it is believed the dead robber was not working singly, no clue as to his companions has been found. From the clumsy way in which the explosives were handled it is thought the robbers may have been amateurs They secured no money from the bank
 The dead man has not been identi- fiod.

Scientists Up Arkansas River.

Arkansas archaeology is the subject state by party of scientists connect ed with the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia Dr. M. G. Miller, Clarence B. Moore and Arthur w. Cline, the archaeologists in charge of the expedition, are now on board the steam yacht Gopher.
 Dr. Miller was in Little Rock few days ago and gave brief account of the expedition. The Gopher" which is a sea-going yacht drawing four feet of water, started at Charleston, s. C., and skirted around the Florida penin- sula and coasts of the Gulf states to the delta of the Mississippi, which it entered
 The earthern structures of the an cient mound builders on the banks of the Sunf1ower and Yazoo rivers in Mississippi were examined and excav- ated, but few archaeological remains of value to science were discovered. It was found that most of the mounds in the Mississippi lowlands had been thrown up by these prehistoric peo- pie for purposes of protection against high water, and that dwellings of earth were found on top of them.
 After lying at Greenville, the Goph- CT proceeded up the Arkansas, and about 30 miles from it's conjunction With the Mississippi excavations were made at what is known as the Menard place. Here some of the richest speci- mems of pottery were found and most of the barrows were found to be burial mounds, which invariably offer more to the archaeologist than the mere dwelling places of the builders.
 All bones eXhumed by the members of the expedition must be turned ofer to the Museum at Washington. Other excavations have been made since last fall at Douglas, Old River Land ing, near Arkansas Post, and at Greer.
 On some of the ancient pottery found in Arkansas were found YAria- tions of the mystic symbol os the swastika which can be traced lE the artistic designs found on the handi- work of all peoples of ages past in Egypt, Chaldea, Japan, Corea and China. The origin of the sign is mystery, but it is thought to nave some universal religious significance. 1t survives among the ultra-moderns in the shape of the faddish swas!ika pin.

Paul Little Answers Rumors.

Paul Little, secretary to Acting Gov ernor X. o. Pindall and son of Cover nor John s. Little of Greenwood, Tues day issued a statement to the effect that his father would never be permit ted by either his family or physicians to return to the office of governor of Arkansas during the present term to which he has been elected and furth- er-nore, that rumors to the effect that Governor Little was recovering at such a rapid rate that he intended to return to his office within the next 60 days were the work of state politi- clans, who desired to gain votes and profit in the present Democratic pri- mary by the rumor
 Paul Little's statement, which was issued Monday, was as follows:
 March 23, 1908.
 ''To the Public-From communica- tions and statements which Governor Pindall is receiving in his office, he and I are convinced that the various reports concerning my fathers condi- tion, which have recently appeared in the public press are being circulated for political effect throughout the state. It seems almost inhuman that I should be expected to be constant iy called upon to deny these false rumors, concerning a matter in which the people, the press, the politicians and the public should at least consid- "r my feelings. My fathers unfor. tunate condition is not political prop erty, and no friend of mine, nor any just man would seek to use his condi- tion for political advantage.
 ITO a kind and generous public, however, now that the matter has again been brought up for discussion, 1 desire to state for their satisfaction, that though my father is greatly inn proved, and may, with the help of God, completely recover, yet he will never be permitted by his family and physicians to at any time again take Up the arduous duties of the gover- nor's office during his present tenure in that office. Very respectfully,
 Paul Little"
