 Justice Fly Lewis of Baxter sum mened jurors and went to the scene, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Tom Biggs of Monticello and Deputy T. l.. Ellington. An inquest was held and a verdict was rendered that Haywood had come to his death by wounds in fiieted by a shotgun at close range and as what evidence could be got ten together seemed to point to one Louis Hutch. who was held responsi. ble by the eoreaer's jury.
 As the officer attempted to put the handcuffs on the prisoner he drew a knife and cut his throat before any one could prevent it. He died several hours later.
 The only evidence against Hutch was circumstantial, being to the effect that Hutch had said he was going to kill Haywood and that the two also had a quarrel in DeTmott last Satur day afternoon.

Etiquette of the Elad,

The army regulations of the United
States provide that the flag at every
post shall be raised at reveille each
morning and lowered each evening at
sunset while the soldiers stand at sa-
lutte and the band plays '"The Star
Spangled Banner"
The flag Is never left out overnight
for any reason, except perhaps one.
When fort or military post Is actual
~ under fire from the enemy the flag
may wave defiantly until hostilities are
over, This was POLITICALLY exernplihed
In Keys immortal song, wherein one
line has 1t. Through the night our flag
was still there!"
At all army posts, moreover. there is
special storm flag, half as large as
the regular post flag, which is flown
in stormy and windy weather.
Another regulation is that on all &C.
casions when the flag Is displayed at
half mast it shall be lowered to that
position from the top Of the staff. It
is hoisted to the top Of the staff before
1t is finally lowered.-Harper's Weekly.
