DEPUTY SHOT DEAD
MYSTERY SURROUNDS KILLING
 OF J. J. MaeDOUGAID.
Public Highway When Assassin Fired From Ambush.

Little Rock.-The inquest held on daybreak Sunday morning, furnished no particulars as to the murder, or gave the officers no fresh clew, but afforded the opportunity for all the known facts concerning the tragedy to be made public.
 In company with Constable J. O. Roberst, Morris Thomas, a negro who was especially deputized for the oc- casion, and Mir. MacDougald, who was a deputy constable, left Gallo way Saturday night to raid craps game on the Baucum plantation, sev, erl miles south. After arriving al the place where the game was sup posed to be in progress, the officers found the house to be deserted. It is thought that the inended raid was tipped off.
 On the return from the place liar. ris was riding in a buggy with MaeDougal, and the two men were engaged in conversation. In pass ing a spot close to Faulkner's lake, which the highway skirts for some distance, two shots were fired from inside the barbed wire fence on the bank of the lake.
 In Harris testimony before the coroner's jury he stated that the dim form of man was seen when the shots were fired. A full charge ot buckshot entered MacDougaPs body just below the shoulder blade, and ranged upward, two of them coming out of the breast close to the right shoulder. The mortally wounded man spoke but once, and then said feebly
 they've got me, 1 am shot through and through
 One of the buckshot struck Harris skull, blowing a furrow from behind the ear to the forehead, which re- suited only in a copious flow of blood. From the direction of the shot it is figured that the assassin was kneeling when he fired, the dis tance being estimated at twelve of fifteen feet.
 The body of MacDougal was sent to Hazelhurst, Miss. for burial in the family lot.

TROOPS OUT IN KENTUCKY.
One Man Killed at Polling Place in
 Breathitt County.

Jackson, Ky.-The arrival of one company of militia from Lexington. and it's departure late in the evening former sheriff Ed Callahan; streets thronged with armed mountain men, groups of citizens discussing the tense political situation, and others gathered at the little railway sta tion, awaiting the arrival of other troops, were scenes which finger as prelude 10 a rather exciting cleo tion in Breathitt county.
 Circuit Judge J. P. Adams, the Re publican candidate for reelection, who made the request to Governor Wilson for troops to preserve order, issued a statement in which he de- clared he was acting upon the sug gestion of many citizens who are identified with both par ies.
 A number of men heavily armed with Winchester rifles were located in the upper story of the Hargis building, isuing threats of death against many citizens and officers of the law, and they had begun to ter rorize the town by shooting on the street and exhibiting their pistols and guns.
 The group of armed mountaineers, following the lead of former Sheriff Ed. Callahan of Breathitt County, left their intrenchment at Jackson shortly after the arrival of the sol diers, and the armed guardsmen fol lowed on double-quick marching or ders to Crockettsville, a distance of four miles from the county seat, where the most trouble was expec | ted
 1 But one fatality resulted. At the Spring Fork precinct polling place Tilden Blanton shot and killed De mosthenes Noble, after Noble had crippled Blanton with bullet.

The fact that these messages sometimes take on a very materials. tic hue does not alter their effective. ness, in her opinion.

SHOOTING BRINGS
RECONCILIATION
Divorced Wife Rushes to Bed
side of Arthur A. Gilcrest,
Who Attempted Suicide
Man Is Thought to Have Iele-
phoned for Ambulance With
Gaping Wound in Head

A touching scene of reorganization
between husband and wife lateiy al
vorced occurred yesterday at the Cen
trail emergency hospital, following the
attempted suicide early in the morning
of Arthur A Gilcrest, an automobile
dealer. Mrs. Bertha Gilcrest OF 4Vf
Cole street, who secured an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce November 9, hur-
ried to the bedside of the wounded man
and, after whispered conversation
with him, arose with tears in her eyes
and an earnestly expressed wish Tor
his recovery upon her lips
The real motive for the attempted
suicide is a secret known only TO 1ll-
crest himself, and possibly to his Tor
mer wife. but there is little doubt that
the desire for self-destruction grew out
of the domestic troubles between them.
Gilcrest inflicted an ugly wound IN ms ,
head with 32 caliber revolver, pul
despite the injury there is fair chance
of his ultimate recovery.
In several respects the case Is an
unusual one, for it was Gilcrest him
self who summoned a hospital ampu-
lance either before or Immediately atter
the shooting At 7:45 o'clock yesterday
morning a telephone message was re-
ceiyed at the central emergency nos
pital that man had shot himseiI at
43S Golden Gate avenue, just le"
blocks away, and that an ambuince was
needed. Hospital Steward Simpson ana
Policeman Louis Collins arrived at Ull-
crest's place of business to find IL open
but no one within sight inside. Iney
hurried to an Office in the center OF the
(rilnrGSI
stretched upon the floor with a re-
volver in his hand and a gaping wound
in his left temple. He was hurrieo
to the hospital and feigned uneon-
sciousness until placed upon the op-
Grating table.
When an attempt was made to prone
for the bullet, however, Gilcrest opened
his eyes and cried out for an anesthetic.
1t took the most strenuous efforts OF
those in attendance to force him TO
admit that he had shot himself, and
he refused to give any further expla-
nation or say whether he had rung
for the ambulance before or after the
shooting. The bullet was located be-
hind the right eye and was removed.
That Gilcrest sat at his desk and
telephoned for the ambulance after
shooting himself and then lay down
upon the floor to await its arrival is
the belief or those VINO investigated
the case. Bloodstains were found upon
the telephone directory, which was on
his desk beside the instrument.
Glcrest is 81 years of age, and since
his divorce from his wife has lived at
the Hotel st. James. He is agent for
an automobile company and also the
manager of the Golden Gate school of
automobile engineering. Friends de-
clared yesterday that he was not sup
posed to have any financial troubles
which might cause him to commit such
an act, and attributed the attempted
suicide to brooding over his divorce.
