Episcopal Church Fire.

One of the most exciting as we'll as
being one of the most expertly ham
died little fires that has occurred in
this city in several months, hap
pened on last Friday afternoon at
about $50 O'Clock, when the tower of
the Episcopal church caught fire
from the grass being burned on the
lawn.
Ine church tower was in a furious
blaze when the fire company arrived
on the scene, but the boys connected
two lines of hose quickly and skill
lully and soon the water was playing
upon the flames with telling effect
from two points of vantage. 1t was
marvel to many who witnessed the
performance how the fire company
managed to get the fire under control
In such short length of time and
save the church building.
The fine water pressure from the
citys mains was especially noticeable
at this fire. The water from the hose
was thrown over the cross on top of
the high church steeple with the ut
most ease. Any man who might
have it in his heart to critlcise the
City Water & Light Co., need only
to have been present at the Episcopal
church fire, to have all his skepticism,
with reference to the local power
plant, turned into admiration and
praise. Visitors who were here from
larger cities, and who witnessed the
play of the water and the excellent
work Of the fire company were en-
thusiastic in commentator and ex-
pressions of surprise that Forrest
City could show such service in this
most important department OF the
city government. The Times deplores
the accident and regrets the damage
to this beautiful building, but is glad
the church is saved, and desires to
add its congratulations to the MANY
others the fire boys and The City
Water & Light Co. have received up
on their efficiency as fire fighting
machine. The loss amounted to
about $4,000 or $4,000, and is fully
covered by insurance. There is some
talk of rebuilding at a different lo-
cation, if the location can be secured.

Uhe More killing.

The body of Nathaniel Williams,
or man the inside of whose coat
pocket bore the name of IN. Will
Hams" was brought into this CITY
sunday afternoon on Rock Island
train, No. 603 a corpse from Round
Pond, Ark.
Upon inquiry it was learned that
Williams had been shot sometime be.
tween IL and II o'clock Saturday
night In negro barber shop, at
Round Pond, by Deputy Sheriff Cleye
Young,
Ii Is said that the officer had infor-
nation to the effect that Williams
mad been bootlegging whiskey, and
came upon the suspect in the barber
shop and ordered him to throw up his
hands. AT this, it is said, Williams
exclaimed; Eyes, I've been selling
whiskey' and, jerking a. 3s.calibre
Smith q Wesson from his bosom,
cried out to Deputy Young, land
here's my license.' 1t. is reported
That Williams then fired at the officer,
who ducked down behind the heating
stove, from which vantage point he
opened fire on the desperate bootleg
ger.
At the first shot from Younp,s
pistol, Williams broke and ran, but
the deputy kept up the shooting until
he had fired four shots. Williams ran
out of the shop and over the railroad
dump, where he dropped lifeless.
Mr.. }. G. Lyon, brother of our
former townsman, Mr.. George Lyon,
was standing near when the shooting
began. In the excitement incident
to the melee, Lyon was knocked
down and run over and, drawing his
gun, as precaution, the weapon was
accidentally discharged and the bull
let plowed into Deputy Young's right
foot, infiicting only slight injury. 1t
usually happens in affairs of this
nature, that the innocent bystander"
gets the worst end of the consequences,
but Mr.. Lyon came off whole and is
none the worse for wear on account
of little rough handling.
The coroner, Mr. J. +. Stockard
was summoned from this city. He
went over to the scene Of the killing
Sunday morning, and empaneled a
jury, which examined the BODY and
made an investigation. 1t was found
that two bullets had passed through
the dead mans breast, another had
pierced his chin and still another had
lodged in his right hand. The ham
mer of the pistol used by Williams
had also been shot off. The coroner's
jury returned a verdict exhonorating
Young, and to the effect that the man
Williams had met his death while re-
sisting an officer.
The body of Williams was prepared
for burial here and a member OF his
family came here Monday from Gill
more, Arkansas, to superintend the
removal of the deceased to that
point. Up until the arrival of this
relative the impression was that
Williams was white man who had
been passing himself off as negro,
but the man who came for the body
said that he was half-brother of
the deceased and that he was GER
tainly a negro. Undertaken Stevens
said he thought that Williams was
white until he was convinced by the
story OF the man who came for his re.
mains from Gilmore.
