Young Boy Shoots Cousin to Death.
While shooting rats in a barn near
Maumelle Friday afternoon, Wort the
son of Dan Holiday, shot and killed
Bob, the 1lyear-old son of Omer Holli-
day, The boys were cousins, and the
shooting, according to meager informa-
ton. was purely accidental
The tragedy is remarkable in the
light of recent events. The father of
the boy who is alleged to have fired
the gun that caused the death of his
cousin was shot and killed by R. T.
Clay. Only a few days ago Arthur,
the son of H. P. Clay, brother of r. Il,
Clay. stabbed and killed Marshall
Null. negro lad at Natural Steps.
Clay and Holiday were brothers-in-
law and young Holiday, who is al
legged to have fired the shot that killed
his cousin, is a son of the man slain
and nephew of the slayer.
On the Clay side of the house the
hand of fate, if it could be so termed
has been equally oppressive. Arthur
Clay, son of H. P. Clay, is under $1,000
bond to await the action of the Grand
Jury in connection with the death OF
Marshall Null. r. E. Clay, brother OF
H. P. Clay, is under bond to answer
a charge of murder in the second de
gree.
As we'll as could be learned the
cousins were playing in the barn and
shooting rats with some sort of fire
arm. From the information at hand
it appears that Bob Holiday got in
front of bullet that struck him in the
head and that death resulted within
an hour. 1t is understood the killing
was quite accidental.

BIG MAN WEEPS in COURT
SOren c. Peterson Cries when Giving
Testimony in His Divorce
Case.

Soren c. Petersen, a big and husky
farmer, Weighing 265 pounds, broke down
and wept when he went on the witness
stand in his divorce suit before Judge Ken
nedy and told Of his trouble with the wife
of his old age, with whom he lived less
than three months. His voice broke at
times SO that court proceedings had TO stop
for a few minutes until he could recover
himself. At another time he pulled out his
handkerchief and went into 1t, his huge
frame convulsed with sobs.
Mrs. Petersen, who was formerly Mrs.
Anna NJ. Brown. a dressmaker, was ap-
parently not as much affected by the pro-
ceedings as her Husband. She laughed re-
peatedly during the testimony and shook
her head frequently in denial OF her hus-
ban1's statements about her conduct. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Petersen are above middle
age and both have families.
Mr.. Petersen charged his wife was the
aggressor in the courtship and promised 20
take care Of his children and live peaceably
with his grown daughter. Instead, he as
serted, she was quarrelsome and insisted
on running the house her own way without
consulting him or anyone else The climax
came when she made ~seahdRlous charges
against him. He cried when he told the
court what she said.
