to have been made bv one of the men in the room with Casteel. Mccain lat CT returned to the room and as he en tered the door shot was fired, strik- ing him in the breast. He fell and died few minutes later, making no statement, so far as is known.
 Powers claims that he found a gun OH the floor soon after the shooting and picked it up IL was an automatic 32-caliber revolver. He went out and informed an officer of what had has pened, and subsequently all three of the men, Casteel, Powers and Kaser- auf, were locked up.
 The bullet which penetrated Nc- Gains body was later found on the floor, having passed entirely through his body. It was steel-jacketed.
 Just how the shooting really hap pened is conjecture, further than the above story indicates. The investiga- tion by the eoroner's jury has been a very rigid affair, and every possible clue is being probed The dead mans brother will arrive some time today from Jonesboro to take charge of the body, which is at present at the Stephens undertaking parlors.
 Casteel Has Record.
 Gordon Casteel, one of the men under arrest, is said to have served a sentence of four or five years in con- nection with the killing of Hall San- ders, which took place in this city IF years ago, on Christmas eve.
 Casteel Held For Murder.
 Forrest City, Nov. 7.--Coroner jury returned verdict in which Cas- teel is charged with murder and Pow CTS and Kareauf with being accessor- ies before the fact. All are held to the grand jury and were remanded to jail.
 Vance was shot in game of craps in the Planters Hotel. Several men were in the room at the time and the bullet that killed Vance grazed anoth- CTS head. The man who did the shooting is in jail, but he says it was accidental.

Three Men, Gordon Casteel, Jim Powers and Dan Kas-

WAS SHOT IN A HOTEL,
Mystery Surrounds Tragedy and Cor Oner's Jury Orders Men
 Held.

Forrest City, Nov. .7.-Layert s. Mo- Cain of Jonesboro, a prominent tray cling salesman, was shot and almost instantly killed at 2:30 o'clock this morning at the Hotel Marion in this city. Whether by accident or other wise is now being investigated by a coroner's jury, sitting in executive session.
 The case is tragic ill the extreme, and has much of mystery surrounding it. Three men are under arrest on suspicion of complicity in the killing, one of these having back of him prison record ill connection with the death of Hall Sanders, here 12 years ago. The men are Gordon Casteel, Jim Powers and Dan Kaserauf
 Mccain comes of a prominent fam fly, his father, Charles Mccain, being director in the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Company of St. Louis. He has travelled this section of the state for a number of years as the representas tive of New York hosiery and under wear house, and invariably put up the Hotel Marion.
 Last night, from the best accoWvt obtainable at this time, Mccain Was looking for a friend whom he suppos- ed to be stopping at the Marion. AS he passed the door of Casteel's room, Casteel, it is said, invited him to come in and join in drink with himself and the other two men, Kaserauf and Powers. Mccain made his excuses, saying that he had to go down and write letter and also wanted to find his friend very much, but that he would later return and join them probably bringing something along additional in the way of drinks.

Sauckey, exalted ruler of the New port, Arkansas, lodge, making in- Cuiries about Frank Vance, who, he said, had been killed at that place. Mr. Vance wore an Elk button and inquiry was made if he was a mem- ber ol the Pine Bluff lodge. His name is not on the membership roll of the local lodge. MT. Vance recently took a position with the Arkansas Poultry man, a journal published in this city by the chicken fanciers, but little is known of him here. He was travel ing in the interest of that paper when he met his death. The manner in which Vance met his death was rot stateJ.

Rommel st ..i lc Rock. Judge Philpot was form py sheriff in this county and rose io that position frSm chief of poltaA and constable.

The only other man. ta1rs far mentioned for that ,fosl ion wats former Sheriff Frank M lWec, of Clarendon, Monroe county. Milwee, who opposed Governor-elect Joe '. Robinson and was one of Don- aghev chief lieutenants during hla two campaigns, will doubtless have to ger the approval of Governor Rob- inscn, which it is stated will most ! likely go to Judge Phllpot. Con- eme messman Robinson's influence at Wash ngton is recognized here and as Govafnor his influence will be added to materially.
 Thore are many positions to be filled in this state and several in Jefferson county, includ ng the Pine Bluff Postmastership. Major Fur'h, the present incumbent, will be slic- ceeded by a Democrat. Many Pine lBluffians are being mentioned for tae place. Among them are Charles II. Triplett, H. B. Strange, John D. Wilbourne, Meyer Solmson, R. J. McBryGe and several others.
 The Arkansas newspapers raised more than $5,000 for the Wilson, Marshall campaign fund through the dollar subscriptions The Grarhic sent nearly $2OO to National Chairman Kavanaugh and more than $500 was raised through subscriptions by var-
 ous Democrats in the county. The county Democratic committee donat- ed Sl00 and in all Jefferson county sent nearly $1,000 to National head quarters, the largest donation by any nne county in the state.
 Congressman-elect s. M. Taylor, of this city, will have something to say about the various appo 'ntments that are ito be made in his district and Il IS endorsement will mean much to asrirants for various plums. At Hot Springs there are to be num- Der O. fine jobs to be given away and Congressman Taylor will doubtless be overrun by candidates for them, seek ing his support.
