ENGINEER WILLIAMS
 SCALDED 10 DEATH
Rail Had Been Removed Caus- ing Death sof Engineer
 And Injuries to Several.

Little Rock, Sept. 23. While running one hour behind sched- ule and trying to make up time, it is said, the engine, two mail cars and two baggage cars of fast passenger train No. 6, on the Iron Mountain, which left Little Rock at 9:25 o'clock last night, was wrecked through the removal of a rail at Rixey, sev- en miles east of Little Rock, and Engineer P. H. Williams of 510 Rose Street, Pulaski Heights, being killed and Fireman R. H.. Lindsey and two mail clerks, injured.
 Engineer Williams had been running an engine on the Iron Mountain since 1889 and was one of the oldest men in point of service on the road. He had been on this run for number of years it is said.
 No. 4 in two sections was the first train from the South to reach Newport after the wreck, the first composed of mail cars arriving about 12 o'clock, the second or passenger section about 12::30 and No. "A about 3 o'clock. Trainmen state that Engineer Williams was scalded to death beneath his engine and that the other injuries were not serious.
 The passenger cars did not leave the track and Conductor Ross was not hurt.
 The train was not robbed as reported here, but the removal of a rail which had been laid out Ia distance from the track, might have been the work of men who had planned a robbery .of the wrecked train, which is supposed to carry considerable money.

SOLON CROOK
 FEUD VICTIM
Shot Down While Reading In His Room By Cold Flooded
 Assassin.

Walnut Ridge, Sept. 23.-J. Solon Crook, a real estate deal- CT, was shot and killed last night while in his home reading a pa- per. The assassin shot through a window and apparently stood on the sidewalk.
 Mrs. Crook, who had retired, heard a shot and heard her hus- band fall. She found him shot through the head. He died be- fore the arrival of a physician.
 About year ago during a feud Crook was shot in the leg and Dr. Hughes, his assailant was sentenced to one day in jail.
 The sheriff says he thinks he knows the guilty party. About a year ago, during the last out break of a feud which terrorized the people here for 10 years, Crook was shot in the leg. Dur ing the outbreak many were shot and three men were killed, most of the shooting being from ambush. Citizens are inclined to keep their own council and few details can be learned.
 Blood hounds were first call- ed for from Newport but owing
