 In Street SIX Hours.

Asa result of a dispute over a doo. Oliver Winfield shot and k;lled Hesekiah West at Bierne Saturday morning; the weapon used being a double barrelled shotgun. Winfield surrendered. Nh relatives of West were in the shooting and the body lay in the street where it fell from about $40 until 8 o'clock that afternoon when a coroner arrived and took charge of it. A jury was sum. moned but at a late hour that night had not reached an agree ment as to the cause of the kill ing Bierne is twelve miles north of this place and news of the tragedy was brought here when the ball team returned.
 The direct cause of the killing was the staying of dog by Win field belonging to West. Early this week West went into the field where Winfield was at work and accused him of killing the dog, and, it is said, threatened at that time to take his life with shotgun. Farm hands in the field interfered and West left with threat, Il will git you yet"
 For the first time since the meeting in the field Winfield and West met Saturday morning in front of Geo. Clark's store. Win field was armed with a double barrelled shotgun and it is said that he took no chances, and at sight fired both barrels into West, killing him instantly.
 The shooting caused great deal of excitement, but no one offered to take charge of the body as the opinion prevailed that it would be necessary for the coroner to view the body be

A SENSATIONAL
 DIVORCE CASE
Little Rock Court Thls Week Will Furn. iSh Interesting News of a De-
 meStic Character.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-A few sensations are expected to be sprung at the hearing of Mrs. A. D. Baldwin, charged with sland- CT by her husband, which will take place this afternoon in the court of Justice E. H. Sanders. Baldwin, well known insurance man of the state, was married March 24, to Mrs. Hammill, who a few days before had buried her husband, who died of tuber- culosis. He was the proprietor of the old Bob Furth saloon. Several days ago Mrs. Baldwin applied for a peace bond for her husband, claiming that he had threatened to kill her. Baldwin was forced to put up a bond of $500. Later Mrs. Baldwin en- tered a suit for divorce, alleging Baldwin was trying to get pos session of her property, lived up her rents and had beaten her be- cause she refused to sign notes for him.
 Mrs. Hammill made a number of statements concerning her l husband which reached his ears. He is said to have threatened her life if she told them. She has ublically Stated everything she said was the truth, and she will repeat it on the stand if per mitted to do so, no matter what course is adopted by Baldwin.
 Mrs. Baldwin was arrested on the slander charge Saturday night and liberated on a bond of $100 signed by Rev. Ben Cox, pastor of the First Baptist church and $. A. Bodfish, pro- prietor of saloon in this city. The witnesses named by Baldwin in his affidavit are A. c. Oracle, attorney for Mrs. Baldwin, and J. A. Teller, his own attorney, neither of whom is qualified to act as a witness. Mrs. Baldwin says she will not stand on this though, but admits she has said everything Baldwin claims she did, but more and will prove it all to be true. Baldwin has in timated he will find a sensational answer and cross complaint to the suit brought by this wife, naming well known young man of this city as correspondent.

Illegal Fishing.

An attempt to make a snap sEot with a kodak of a large pile of fish on the banks of the lake near Fulton with the view of se- curing evidence against persons who were violating the game laws of the state was resisted by the fishermen, who drew shot, guns upon the man with the ko. dak and made him leave the grounds. The men had large pile of game fish piled up near the bank, consisting of black bass, white perch and goggle eyes which were captured with seines and, it is believed, were intended for shipment. It has been re- ported that the same kind of ille- gal fishing has been going on near Wilton and at other points along Little River, but it seems impossible to secure evidence against the guilty parties.

VAN HORN ESTATE is
TIED up TWO YEARS,
Provision of Will Cannot Be Car
ried Out Until 1911.

Two years must elapse before the
requests of Amos II. Van Horn, who
died December 26 last, can be carried
out, according to Ralph Il. Lum, one OF
the executors of the estate, because of
the way the property is tied up. The
thirty-five charitable institutions which
are entitled to ~legacies under the will
will be forced TO wait that long. while
the erection of the soldiers and sailors
monument and the Lincoln and Wash
ington statues will probably be delayed
an equal length of time. The free funds
of the estate will be nearly consumed
in the payment of the annuities to rela-
tives of Mr.. Van Horn.
One of the principal items in the es-
tate is the building at rs Market street,
and the warehouse in the real of 1t.
valued at $4,000 00. on which lessees have
a lease which will not expire for two
years, when they have the right to buy
the property.

Ministers Band for
War on the Big Hat.

CONNELLSVILLE. Pa, April Go
Local pastors yesterday drove the big
hat into a corner and kept 1t there, and
there are many angry women here to-
day. The ministers appeared to use
what In baseball would be termed
good team work" In all churches of
note the clergymen asked women to
remove their hats. The request was
needed. but not without comment and
resolutions. When the women got out
of church and began to tell of their
troubles they found that the move had
been general all over town.
The trouble began some weeks ago,
when the Rev. A. j. Ashe. of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church. made q
pulpit request hat women remove their
great hats. Since hat the Rev. Mr..
Ashe has been less popular with the
ladies'. His church was practically
boycotted by the women, and in self
protection he was compelled to ask the
other pastors to join with him against
the big hat, so his striking flock might
be forced back to his church. Il
The Rev. E. A. e. Palmquist, of the
First Baptist Church, a week ago
backed up the stand taken by the Rev.
Mr.. Ashe. Today his church in turn
had a slim attendance.

Five women answered that they
didn't wish "model' husbands. but
ideal zones, and gave their opinions
after changing the word in theii
copy The Rev. Mr.. Vaughan smiled
at the first three objections. Then two
came by the next mail explaining that
model means "a small imitation OF
the real thing and the pastors apollo
gies followed.
DO you want him to be the head of
the house?" was the first question pro-
pounded.
Yes, answered 121. No, said one.
DO want him always to follow
your bidding?'
All replies were in the negative.

and r~ailroading, and in addition TO this
the transportation charges.
1t is reported that the operators have
some ten million tons of coal in storag e
