oner Bacon has gone to Crooks,
east Of here today TO investigate
the mysterious death of an unknown
man found there early this morning

he accidentally stumbled on the
body. Nothing has been found by
which to identify the man.
An inquest will be held late this

mob of more than one thousand per-
sons outside set up a great cry of
eXultation. When the negro was
flung out and struck the ground he
was pounced upon by the mob. A
rope was placed about his neck and
he was dragged to Elks Arch in the
downtown section of the city.
Ten minutes after he had been
seized in the prisoners dock, Brooks
body hung from the center of the
arch.
The corpse hung swinging to and
fro over the heads of hundreds who
passed through the streets while the
demeanor of the mob kept the off
GERS from interfering and from cut
ting down the body.
The members of the mob had
gathered with a firm purpose and
with drawn pistols they informed
the authorities that interference
would not be brooked.
Meanwhile the body hung in the
arch and yells, cat calls and curses
were directed at the mute and
swing figure.
Messengers were sent by the po-
Ice to the negro sections of the city
warning the blacks to stay within

OF the mob For a time the police
feared a general attack on the negro

AN IDIOTIC IDEA.



Chicago, March 3.-Chicago's
well-known thoroughfare, State
street, may be renamed "Roose-
welt street." in honor of the
4 former president, if Alderman
Otto J. Novak carries out his
intention of calling on the city
council to change the name of
the street, as he insisted he
would do today.
Novak said that he would pre-
sent the resolution to the coun-
ell for action next meeting, so
that the city could take steps Of
cially to show it's appreciation
Of Roosevelt.
& In backing up his proposition,
Alderman Novak said:
The greatest street in the
greatest city of the world could
q not be more appropriately named
than after the man whom many
consider the greatest American
of modern times.
The name of the street does
not have any historical signifi-
canoe at present.

Violation of the Game Laws.

Mr. W. II. Irvine, Dr. Reyes and Dr. Merrill, of Kentucky, and MT. w. H. Allen, of Tennessee, were arrested on Tuesday while encamped on Blackfish Bayou, on the charge of violating the nonresident section of the game laws. They were brought to Forrest City and appeared before Squire Hurley on Wednesday. The charges were proven as to the three fist mentioned and each were fined $50 and costs. Mir. Allen proved that he had not hunted, but was sick, and the Squire discharged the case against him.
 Everyone is supposed to know the laws, but these gentlemen were in- vited to come over, and showed tele- gram tothe effect that everything was fixed in regard to the law; and hence they innocently violated the law. There is no sentiment or sympathy in law, and the Squire could do noth- ing but intlict the fine.

Walter Coyington Shot.

Walter Covingtun, q negro farmer, of near Madison. was shot and per haps. dangerously wounded. Monday evening at Madison, about s o'clock Win Johnson, another negro. who was share cropper on Coyington's place, doing the shooting. Covingtnn was shot twice. the balls entering his right side just above the groin. After being shot he managed to draw his kn fe and cut Johnson several times about the neck, barely missing the jugular, and right arms and fingers Johnson was held by Scott Bond and the Bond boys, and the authorities here were notified. MT. Tom Johnson went down and got the prisoner and brought him here and lodged him in jail. His wounds are not serious.
 Covingtor was carried to the hos pital in Little Rock Tuesday after noon.
 From what can be learned about the atiair, IL appears that the trouble o E n tied over the disposition of a pale of seed cotton, Johnson wanting 70 take the cotton to one of the gins at Widener, and Covington insisting that it be ginned at Madison. eaThe men had some words over the matter that afternoon, resulting in Johnson craving q gun and ordering Covlngton off of his wagon, and the shooting that night was the outcome.

Conference to Appoint New Pastor and
 Presiding Elder.

At the coming White River Con- ference of the Helena District of the Methodist Episcopal Church, suc- cessors will be chosen for Rev. z. T. Bennett, who for the past four years, has conscientiously and faithfully served the congregations throughout the district, as presiding elder, and al so for Rev. B. l.. Milford, who for a like term of years and in like manner, has served the people of this church, as pastor-in-charge. It is earnestly hoped and desired by the people generally that the conference retain in their present stations, both of these reverend gentlemen, who, dur ing their terms of service here have become very near and dear to all of our people, irrespective of creed or denomination, but we understand that four years is the limit. and that they will both be moved This k certainly a matter of great regret. Rev. Bennett is in feeble health, and has not been able to attend to the duties of his charge for some time past, but his many friends hope soon to see him completely recovered, and able to actively resume his church duties. When the conference assigns these two good men, or either of them, to new posts of duty, they can go with the satisfaction of Knowing that their incumbency of their respective offices has been fraught with much that was not only good for the Master they served, but for the community al large, and that they carry with them the love, good will a..d best wishes of all our citizens.

 Al Stevens and Price Mcdaniel.

There are hunts and hunts, but the hunt as is hunt is now on-the one that all members of the Gun and Rod Club especially look forward to annu- ally with keenest pleasure, and which mostly always comes up to the fondest expectations of it's devotees, was start ed Monday morning, when the mem- bers of that organization and their guests, numbering in all about twenty souls, not including the chef and the dogs, started for their annual week $ outing, and each member of the party was firmly iesolved as ever to better his previous record or establish a new one.
 The hunt this year is taking place in the bottoms near Mud Lake, and ru- mors via wireless say that the victims the nimrods have been numerous. Whether these rumors are founded on fact or not, it's ''skinch" that the party will not go hungry or suffer from any discomforts, if the size of the out fit is any indication.
 Vehicles of various and sundry types were used to convey the party and their equipage, and the supply of available wagons running short, Al. Stevens and Price Mcdaniel, with characteristic ingenuity, pressed into service the hearse or dead wagon be- longing to the Stevens undertaking establishment.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Nisart Says Nsgistrates will Not
 Punish Game Law yiolaters.

That it Is impossible to enforce the game laws of the state, owing to he lack of cooperation on the part Of the justices of the peace. k the statement .of State Game Warden l. '. Xisart. Warden Nisart states that not only do the justices fail to assist in the en- forcemeut of he law. but have in cases where the defendant pleaded guilty, returned the fine and dismiss ed the cases.
 The statement. according to the warden, grows out of the arrest of Harry McIntire. pitcher of the Chicago Cubs" and a party Of friends. They were arrested at For rest City on an affidavit which alleged the members of the party were non residents of the state and that they were violators of the game laws by fishing. When arrested by Deputy Sheriff Johnson, of Forrest City, the defendants are said to have asked that the case be docketed for Novem- Der l4.
 Warden Visart states that when he appeared before Justice Carr at that date, he was informed that the cases had been settled. Investigating fur ther. Warden Vi art states that he found that James Griffith. one of the party, had entered a plea of guilty and that fine of fifty dollars had were docketed and dismissed for the want of evidence. When questioned by Warden Nisart as to what became of the fine, Justice T. D. Carr is said to have asserted that he returned the fine to Griffith.
 Warden NiSart ayers that Johnson mitted that they were nonresi- dents and that they were fishing. The others, who were arrested with Mclntire were James Griffith, Joseph Law, Harry klosky and Carl Roe scher.-Arkansas Gazette.
 We saw squire Carr Tuesday and asked him if the above article was a statement of facts, and he replied that part of it was a-one of those un- mentionable things. Anyway, he did fine one of the men $50 on plea of guilty, and he says that there was no evidence to convict the others and he discharged them. The fine was paid to Deputy Sheriff Johnson. The law says that the fines in such cases shall go to the officer making the arrest. he, not Squire Carr, gave it back to the gentleman who paid the fine. This we presume he had a right to do. But the question still remains shall the game laws be enforced, and shall nonresidents continue to be per- mitted to hunt and fish here in defi- ance of our laws? We hope not. Not that we begrudge the game and fish: not that we would be inhospitabe to any stranger within our gates: not
 
 that we have any grudge against the nonresident, and not that we would not like to see them enjoy the pleasures of our game pres eryes, built is unaw. ful, our officers are sworn to enforce the laws impartially, and they have no choice in the premises, and the law should be enforced. We understand that these men had the fish or game with them, and could not and would not deny their guilt. They should h we been fined. If the officer elected to return their money, that was his business. It was his money and he had the right to do with 1t as he pleased.
