 !. Little Rock, Feb. 9.-In spite of the fact that the 1914 prima- ry is not yet out of the way, lines are being cast in the 1916 political pool, especially in the race for governor. It is general ly believed that Gov. c. w. Hays will at that time contest for a seat on the Supreme Court, leav- ing his place to be fought for by any number that desire to make the race. s
 Among those who are proba- ble candidates are, David A. Gates, now a member of the State Tax Commission; John H. Page, now Commissioner of Mines Manufactures and Agri- culture; Earle w. Hodges, now Secretary of State; and Dr. c. H. Brough, member of the fac ulty of the University of Arkan- sas. Dr. Brough has definitely announced as a candidate, and is expected to resign his position at the end of the present school year, to begin touring the state

 After the testimony, petition CTS rested and considerable argu- ment by counsel occurred, before remonstrants began to present evidence attacking the legality of various signatures to the peti- tion, the first move being against 27 names appearing up- on the petition and published, which remonstrants allege had been ordered withdrawn by this number of petitioners, before the petitions were filed of re- cord.
 Now that court has reached the merits of the petition, the fight promises to be long and te- dious. How long none can pre- dict with surety and the gen. eral estimate runs from ? days to 2 weeks, when the reuslt of the contest will be known.

Rabies of NiruIent Form.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 9.-John Leifer of Carlisle, and his sister, Mrs. Moore, are now taking the Pasteur treatment to prevent rabies, after being bitten by a cat which suffered with the dis ease. The head of the cat, as we'll as that of the dog which bit the cat, were examined by Dr. w. F. Manglesdorf, a Little Rock chemist, who pronounced the disease as rabies of the most virulent form.
 A dog on the place was bitten by a wolf which is thought to have suffered with hydrophobia. The dog bit the cat. The cat got into the house and when Mrs. Moore went to put it out, it bit her. The cat then escaped, but the next day was bowling so under a tank, that Mr. Leifer went to pull it out, when it bit him in the hand. He shot the cat and sent it's head, with that of the dog, which died few days previous, to the state chem ist for examination, <. ...sl

Shot Negro
 In Self Defense
Walter Ussery Shot And Killed Lee Randy Saturday After
 noon and Surrendered.

Walter Ussery, a young far mer of good reputation of Vil- lage township, shot and killed Lee Randy, a negro farmer of that township, late Saturday af- ternoon and about midnight, reached Newport and surrender ed to Sheriff McCuistion.
 Ussery claims that he shot in self defense and the physical facts as well as the testimony of an eye witness, go to substan- tiate his story of the tragedy Coroner Melville was summon ed to the scene, but as the grand jury was still in session, he did not regard an inquest necessary and the investigation will be taken up by that body, when it reconvenes at 1:30 o'clock Mon- day afternoon.
 The story of the killing, as learned by the Independent, was that Ussery in company with his brother-in-law, Tommie IStultz, was driving .yearling down a lane. in the Holden lneighborhood, when they met Lee Randy, standing beside the road. The negro began cursing and abusing Ussery about a hog that ran with Ussery's hogs and threatened Ussery's life. Us- sery went on however, but ob- tained a shot gun as he had to return over the same road. Upon this return, he met Ban- dy in the road, who stopped him and again began abusing him.
 Ussery said to him: "Nigger, l don't want you to bother me any
 more" This seemed to enrage
 Randy and he replied "You're no
 nigger, but a-low life white - -" and pulled an
 automatic revolver from his hiI
 pocket. Ussery threw up his gun and fired, the whole load o1 shot, wads and all entering the
 negro's chest. He continued tt advance and Ussery turned ant
 ran. Randy fell a few step,
 from where he was shot ane
 died in a very short while. Wher
 found, he had the automatic pis
 toi in his left hand and had :
 glove on his right hand. He is
 said to have been left-handed.

 Gentlemen:
 In the Independent of the 5th, inst, I read your request that l become a candidate for justice of the peace for Union township at the Democratic primary cleo tion, March 25th, 1914.
 I am greatly complimented at a solicitation of so many of my bar associates, old time friends and fellow citizens, and will pro- pose my name at the primary e. lection, and if nominated and e. lected, I will perform the duties of that office to the best of my a. bility.

 No citizen of Newport is bet ter qualified to serve the town ship than MT. Bell. His reputa' tion as a lawyer guarantees ms fitness and his standing in the community vouchsafes the as surance that he has all the othei qualities necessary for a gooe administration of this office.
 A petition asking for his candl dacy met with practically unah imous approval and we are sure his nomination will be an over whelming vote of confidence up on the part of the people witf whom he has lived.
