NEGRO KILLED AT
 PLANNING MILL

Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock at the Ozan Planning Mill George Furlow, colored, was struck in the head by a piece of machinery and instantly killed.
 Furlow was feeding a picket machine and was in the act of heading a picket when the ma chine flew to pieces, a portion of which struck him just above the upper lip and cut the entire top of his head off, instant death re- sulting.
 is not understood why this machine busted this way as there was nothing loose about it, the piece striking Furlow having one of the knives on it, which was securely fastened.
 The machine threw pieces through the roof of the planning mill, tearing large holes in it., and it is remarkable that no one else was injured as several em- ployes were working close by.

ALEXANDER TO
 HANG MARCH IS

Arkansas City, Jan. 29.-W. c. Alexander was today sentenced to be hanged on March 15 in Pine Bluff. Alexander was convicted of murder in the first degree for killing J. P. Kelly in saloon in Pine Bluff in January, 1911. Judge Grace overruled the mo- tiOn for new trial of w. R. Sor- rells the defendants attorney. Mr. Sorrells, in his argument, cons umed more than an hour, while Prosecuting Attorney T. Havis Nixon, talked for half an hour.
 In the motion for a new trial, MT. Sorrells dwelt at length up. on tn e sanity of Alexander. However, Judge Grace set this aside, saying the case had gone through the regular channels and one of the best juries he had ever seen had declared Alexan- der sane.
 When the sentence was passed Mrs. Alexander broke down completely. She had sat in the court room nearly all day, appar ently waiting with great anxiety the decision of the court. It could be seen that the past few weeks had worked havoc with her physical self. She is said to have declared she would be sat. isfied with life sentence for her husband, for in that event she could get work near the pen and see him occasionally. When the judge overruled the motion TOT anew trial ne request edsAleXander to stand up. He then asked him if he had any thing to say. The prisoner stood motionless in silence. Alexander took the sentence without a mur- mur. When the sheriff arrived to take him back to jail the pris- oner picked up his hat and left the court room as though noth- ing had happened. Mrs. Alex ander. who followed, sobbed audibly.
 The case, it is thought, will be appealed to the Supreme Court. J. E. Murphy, charged with grand larceny. was sentenced to three years in the pen.
 Lee Wimberly, charged with grand larceny, was given one year.
