GETTING READY FOR MEET
6entlemeu's Driving Club Putting Everything in Readiness for Big
 Doings on August 9th.

Dr. C. S Aldridge, president, Mir. $. k. Trapp, Secretary, and others inter- ested. are putting forth every effort. and leaving no stones unturned to make the meet to be held on August I, a grand success from every stand point.
 Circular letters with entry blanks attached. have been printed and mail ed this week to horseowners in ad- joining cities in eastern Arkansas, the letter setting forth the object of the organization, and inviting them to enter their horses, and participate. and besides. giving the program, as it was published in last weeks issue of the local paper, together with the amounts of entrance fees, purses, etc.
 In speaking of the affair. Dr. Ald- rich tells us that the gentlemen in charge have received letters from Horsemen in Helena, Marianna, and other Eastern Arkansas cities. asking for particulars, and expressing a de- sire to comeohere on that day with their horses, and enter them in the races for which they are eligible.
 The genial doctor is enthusastic over the prospects, as are indeed all the other gentlemen interested, and all are looking forward to big atten- dance on the day Of days. and in this we sincerely hope they may not be disappointed
 Those in charge are desirous of having, the merchants close their stores on that day, and that general holiday should be observed We don't think they are asking too much in this and are of the opinion that our merch- ants and business men generally, can very well see their way clear 10 doing this, and giving their clerks and other employees chance to go out and see some first class racing.
 The proposed meeting has already led to the purchase of and importation to this city of couple of crack a Jack pacers, and it's successful outcome will undoubtedly do much to promote an interest in the breeding and ais ing of thoroughbred stock in this section, which is consummation deyoutly to be wished

SATURDAY NIGHT KILLING.
Tom Lester Timbermap. Found Dead sunday Morning, Cor0ners Jury
 tharges Slim Daley with murder.

Tom Lester. timberman in the employ of Tom Green, who was driv- lng team near Cicalla. dead Slim Daley another timberman employed near Heth, fugitive from justice. ana a negro woman, said to have been the cause of the altercation, from the result of which Lester met his death, a prisoner in the county bastile, sus- pected of knowing more about the af- tair than she has so far told. is the result Of Saturday night fight at Heth. Lester's dead body was found sunday morning between the rails on the Rock Island switch. and upon ex- animation it was found that there were several bruises on his face, and on other parts of his body.
 Ofncers Tn this city were notified and proceeded at once to the scene, put too late to apprehend Daley who Is alleged 10 have committed the murder. Lester's body was brought to this city on the train reaching here shortly after o'clock Sunday afternoon, and was taken in charge by Stevens Undertaking establish nent where It was prepared for ship ment.
 Cornor Todd went to Heth. empan. elled jury. and after investigating the affair as thoroughly as possible the jury returned verdict that de- ceased came to his death by being stamped by Slim Daley
 From what can be learned about the atalr. 1t seems that the two men were both interested in the same woman, and in an altercaticn over her 1t is said that Daley who was l StlnIiDU Ap Tho Stonc of n ho,ca kicked Lester. who was on the ground in the stomach, knocking him down and that he then proceeded to stamp him. While the marks on the body as It was seen here, and the verdict of the coroners jury give credence to | this theory, il Is said by some who viewed the corpse shortly after it was 1 found. that they hardly thought that these wounds could have caused his l death, and they advance the theory l that poison and not the wounds inflicted by Daley was the agency of l his death
 Daley it is said. left Heth, on the morning train, which reaches here at S:55, and it was supposed by parties in l Heth, that he intended coming here ] to surrender himself to the officers.
 If, however, such was his intention when he left Heth, he changed his mind before reaching here, for nothing has been seen or heard of him, and he seems 10 have disappeared as com pletely as though the earth had swallowed him up.
 Lester was at one time about three years ago night marsl a of this city, having come here from Palestine He is quite we'll known here Some delay was caused in the disposition of his body on account of the undertakers and others interested, not being able to locate his relatives. but finally it was learned that he had at one time worked for Mir. Hammett Ferrel, and that gentleman when called upon, gave the information that his home was in Fernando, Mississippi, where he had relatives, and after getting in telephonic communication with that point the body was ordered shipped l there which was done Monday.
