BEN KIRBY SHOT
FROM AMBUSH
Killed Near Ifis Home at Marianne, Ark.
Suspicion Rests Upon Some
NeighbOrs.

On last Friday evening just before
dark, Mr.. Ben Kirby was shot with a
load of buckshot, from the rear, about
one half mile from his home, ten miles
from Mariana, Ark. His horse ran
up to his honse.riderless, which alarmed
his wife and caused her to go to the
scene of the horrible tragedy where she
had heard the report of gun.
Mr.. Kirby had had some difference
with a neighboring white man, who is
said to have made threats against him
although Mr. Kirby did not regard him
self in any danger.
The party or parties, who did the
shooting were secreted in the cane
near the roadside. Several arrests
have been made, but no positive evi-
dence secared. Mr.. Kirby was born
near Carrollton. He married Miss
Beulah Williams, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. S. Williams of Grenada. The
deepest sympathy is felt here for Mrs.
Kirby and her two children and the
keenest interest is manifested in the
apprehension of the perpetrators of
the cowardly crime.
