VICKSbURG Man
IS RE-ARRESTED
Hearing for Killing Negro,
But Re-Arrested.
Special to The Nel0S.

Special to The Netos.
Vicksburg, Miss, March 3.-Sheriff
R. M. Kelly yesterday received a war
rant, signed by City Police Judge Wag-
gener, authorizing him to re-arrest J..
L. ellis, a Waterman of the Y. & M.
V. road, who on February 23rd shot
and killed Jim Hare, a negro, and who
claimed self-defense.
After the shooting occurred Gillis
went to Sheriff Kelly and gave him
self up, and was placed in jail. Sheriff
Kelly stated that he wanted City Judge
Waggener to conduct the preliminary
hearing, but the information came to
him, that as ellis had surrendered at
the sheriff's office, Judge Waggener
preferred to have the sheriff turn the
case over to some justice of the peace.
This he did, making out an affidavit
charging ellis with murder, and the
case was tried before Justice Joe
Hamburger. Justice Hamburger re-
leased ellis, stating that there was
no evidence upon which he could hold
him.
When the warrant came ellis was
at Gloster, where he went on visit
to his father, but Sheriff Kelly tele-
phoned to him and he said he would
return right away. The case will
probably be set for a rehearing some
time soon

State Capitol 1 News Notes l
PRODUCE BILL ASKING DlS- MISSAL OF CLAIMS.
Government Has a Claim of $1o4,o0o Against Arkansas for Military
 Equipment.

At the next session of congress Congressman J. C. Floyd of the Third congressional district will introduce, at the instance of the war department, a bill asking that the $104 ,000 claim of the government for military equip ment furnished Arkansas for the past 40 years be dismissed.
 Gen. B. w. Green, who was in Washington last spring, states that in consultation with officials of the war department he was advised that such bill would meet with the ap proval of the department, but that the department could not assume the responsibility of canceling so large debt without an act of congress au thorizing them to take such action.
 General Green further states that the bill has been drafted and is in readiness to be presented, after which It's passage will undoubtedly be a mere matter of form. The debt i for arms and ammunition fur sbeH by the federal government | time antedating the Brooks-Baxter war. All the recent equipment fur nished the state guard has been ac counted for, but it seems it has not been placed on record. All that re- mains of the munitions furnished dur ing the Brooks Baxter war are five old pieces of ordnance long since ob solete. One of the old cannon, Lady Baxter" is in the statehouse yard; two are in the city armory, one at Hot Springs and one at Newport. They can easily be collected. but are valueless, save as relics or scrap iron.
