.DOCS0NTRA|L OFL[FBL0UNT ACROSS RIVER BELIEVED TO BE
 ON RIGHT TRACK SCORES IN MAN HUNT POSSES ARE SECURING COUN- TRY FOR SLAYER OF OSCAR
 L. HONEA.

Four bloodhounds, followed by about 40 armed men, are on the trail of Lee Blount in Pulaski county, along the Rock Island railroad and across the river from the point at which Oscar l.. Honea was killed, according to a reliable report reaching the Log Cab in Democrat at 2:30 o'clock this after noon. That the dogs are on the right track is the belief of the officers, who have strong hopes of effecting the capture of Blount before night.
 The bloodhounds were brought to the scene of the crime this morning, from Dyersburg, Tenn, in response to a telegram sent by Sheriff J. s. John- son yesterday afternoon. They were put off from train No. 104 at May flower at o'clock this morning. AL most every man in the vicinity of Mayfower is armed today and in search of Blount. At least 20 men from Conway are in the man hunt, and several officers from Little Rock are also enlisted in the pursuit. The oiLiScIo dIc uclcTIllHcu tO COIlLlHuo LIl6 hunt until Blount is taken or killed. Various unsubstantiated rumors were in circulation in Conway this morning to the effect that Blount spent last night at his home one mile from Mayfower, that he was seen in Mayfower today, that he had return ed a borrowed gun and had cut some telephone wires, but none of these could be verified and no one could be found who claimed actually to have seen Blount. It was also reported that he was seen to cross the railroad about two miles south of Mayf1ower yesterday, going east, but the officers do not place much confidence in this report.
 | According to information received here this afternoon, it is now the De- lief of Blount's pursuers that he crossed the Arkansas river on the night following the killing and has not been in Mayfower since that
 time. It is not thought he has suc- ceeded in getting out on train, how ever, the opinion being that he is in hiding in the river bottoms, either in
 Pulaski or Perry county.

The report attributed to Mr.. VIII

what the powers are doing in Albania
1t does not even spare the Prince of

calling himself king. with no powers,
no territory and no subjects except his

Elsewhere in the report Mr.. Williams

The report accuses the Albanian gov

war and appeals to Europe to remove
the Prince OF WED and the interna-

Since Mr. Williams was first men
toned for the mission to Greece and
Montenegro he has been the subject of
pointed comment. Just about the time
of his nomination it became known
that in 1911 lie had bitterly assaulted
President Wilson'S expressions of pub

ton, however, by praising the views
the president had expressed more re-

as a warm advocate of free silver.

YOUTHS FIGHT DUEL
ON TOP OF MOUNTAIN
One viii Die as Result of
Premeditated Fight.

Freezing. Va.-Two men climbed the
historic Cumberland mountain and
fought a pistol duel that will result in
the death of at least one. The partici-
pants were James Hanover and Ander-
son Estep, who had been friends and
neighbors since childhood. They fought
clasping each others left hand. There
were no witnesses TO the duel.
The battle resulted because Hanover
objected to the attentions of Estep to
his sister. a comely young woman.
The men. both of whom are we'll con-
nected and prosperous, met here, hav
ing come into town from their homes
to buy supplies. Persons who saw
them on the street did not notice any
thing out of the ordinary in their con-
versation. After a few minutes they
rode to Cumberland mountain, near
Osborne's gap. and fought. Vanover
was shot through the body twice. and
Estep was wounded three times. Aft
er the fight the duelists returned here
Estep had been attentive TO Miss
Nina Vanoyer for some time. He had
been warned repeatedly by the young
womans family that his attentions
were not acceptable. Estep. who had
no weapon went into local hardware
store and purchased a weapon of
heavy caliber and the latest make.
According to Estep. Nanover was shot
at the second fire. both having missed
the first shot in their haste and ex-
/ element. They agreed on a second shot
and clasped hands Mt the word given by
/ Estep. Hanover staggered and fell
heavily against his shoulder, causing
| his weapon to Fly up" the bullet from
the heavy revolver blowing deep
| cash in EStep's shoulder.
/ Though suffering from a mortal
wound and scarcely able to stand.
Vanover readily agreed to a third shot
which both men missed. After the
last fire Vanover tainted from loss of
blood. and Estep thought he was dead
/ For this reason he came into Freezing
with the intention. so he claims. of
surrendering TO the sheriff. Shortly
after Hanover. too. came down from
4 the mountain. staggering and weak
from loss Of blood.
