Jury EXOnerates I-Zzell.

Osceola, March 5.-A coro- ner's jury empaneled at Pecan Point this morning by Coroner G. A. Swift, eXonerated W. T. CZzell of the killing of his bro- ther-in- n-law, Waller H. Buck, at that place yesterday afternoon. The men married dauhters of s. $. Semmes of Osceola, who was a son of Raphael Semmes, Confederate admiral.
 The evidence showed that both men were drinking. They quarreled, that Buck seized a rifle which was in the room and tried to shoot Uzzell, who grap- pied with him. Uzzell secured the gun and then shot Buck. Buck lived about thirty minutes, but made no statement.
 His body was brought to Os- ceola today on the steamer Harry Lee and after being pre-

Me- Daniel IS comparatively a new conner to the Little Rock politi- lcal family, and his acquaintance ship over Arkansas, except with the people who visit the capitol, is not especially large. He was fi14S a representative from Clark county, then served a short time in the office of the Sec retary of State, going with the Tax Commission as secretary, and then to the office of the State Treasurer as deputy.

 children and one sister, who ar

 It is generally belived that no further steps will be taken to prosecute Uzzell. The officers and members of both families believe that the killing was ex- cusable. Uzzell remains at home at Pecan Point and is re- ported to have suffered a nerv- ous breakdown.

 Elmer H. Lundy of Polk coun- ty, is the only avowed candi- date for president of the sen- ate. Senator J. Marion Futrell, president pro tenn of tha'' body, has indicated that he will not seek to retain the presidency during the session. c. C.

The match between Evans and Breth-

spectators. and the coast guards; holding
the crowd back with ropes at times, had
difficulty in keeping the greens clear.

golfer on the course than the smiling
Chicago player. The putting of both was
indifferent. At the seventh hole Evans
stood one up. The next was halyed. AT
the ninth both were weak with their an
proach shots. and the hole was halved
in four.
Evans won the tenth hole, but ut the
next he was troubled by a spectator
walking across the green. and popped into
a bunker. losing the hole. The twelfth
