ACCIDENTAL Death
IS VERDICT OF JURY

Accidental death was the verdict
that coroner's jury brought in yester.
day afternoon in the case Of sasayo
Kitayama, a Japanese girl fifteen years
Of age, who was shot by a Japanese
named Hamatada last Tuesday. The
girl died at an early hour at the Japa-
nese hospital yesterday morning. ~
According, 70 the evidence adduced
yesterday afternoon, Hamatada entered
the dwelling Of the girl on Tuesday
night and seeing a .22 ealiber revolver
lying on the table emptied the cart,
ridges, as he thought, out of it. Six
cartridges lay on the table while the
seventh was still in the chamber. Ha-
matada then began swapping the trig-
ger when the gun suddenly went of.
The girl was shot through the throat.

1 hastily rolled to form a sort of ram part about the, courthouse, and while this was taking place the residents rushed to shelter beneath the bluffs of the river. The fight lasted for hours, the Federals defending their position so stoutly that General Marmaduke called off his men and departed.
 Few people residing here today were old enough then to remember the battle. Among these are R. H. M. Mills and Gabe Meyer, and Mrs. M. l.. Bell. Messrs. Mills and Meyer took no part in the fighting, but were residing here at the time. Mrs. Bell assumed charge of number of child- ren and kept them under the bluffs. safe from cannon and rifle fire during the conflict.
 A number of house were damaged by the shells, that of John Bell, which stood about where the Merchants & Plants bank is now located, being all most demolished: ..sss ss
 Mir. Mills Reminiscent.
 General Clayton had no fortifica- tions, and had only occupied the place for about one month"; said R. H. M.
 
 While citizens and soldiers were at breakfast, General Clayton received notice from General Marmaduke, who was then surrounding the place with a force of 4,O00, demanding surrender. General Clayton replied he would not surrender, and that General Marma- duke would have to fight for it.
 Clayton went to work, aided Dy citizens, and used the cotton bales then stored in frame warehouses; cause there were no brick warehouses then in Pine Bluff-to fortify the streets leading to the courthouse. In the meantime firing on the place had begun. The citizens were placed in much confusion, and took refuge un- der dwelling houses and the river bank.
 ''The fighting continued for several hours. The old Methodist church that stood on the corner of Fourth and Main streets was very badly damaged by shells, and good many houses in the business part of town were burn ed. The brick Baptist church that stood where D. A. Caldwell's livery stable now stands was used as hos pltal for wounded SOldlerS. very IeW were killed, considering the amount of shooting.
 Late in the afternoon, General Marmaduke withdrew with his forces, carrying away many valuable, horses, leaving General Clayton the place. For this showing, Clayton, then a colonel, was promoted to the rank of general. He went to work at once, fortifying the place. No other battles were fought here.
 "Very few men now live were here fifty-one years ago."

 The courthouse then stood about two blocks from the river, the inter- vening bank having since gone into the river.

This is the 51st anniversary of the battle of Pine Bluff, the anniversary occurring this year on the same day of the week as that on which the fight took rlace.
 It was just about the time in the morning that Pine Bluff residents of today are reading or clamoring for their copy of The Graphic that on that October morn in 1863 General John S. Marmaduke with a force of about 4,000 Confederates swooped down on the little city, coming from th1 South. The city was occupied by 600 Federal soldiers under command of Gen. Powell Clayton, who died recent ly in Washington.
 The Confederates captured the out posts of the Unionists and could cas- lily have taken the town. as the pres ence of Marmaduke and his men was not even suspected. Most of the resi- dents were breakfasting. and the greater part of the Federal soldiers were doing the same thing or making preparations to enjoy Sunday as the regulations would permit.
 Instead of sweeping right on. how ever, General Marmaduke halted his command and sent in detachment under flag of truce with demand for surrender. This was a tactical error, as it gave General Clayton time to prepare to make successful re- sistapce General Clayton occupied for headquarters the courthouse, which stands today in the same piace.
 When presented with General Mar maduke's demand, he kept the Confed- crate emissaries waiting for half an hour or more, while he made hasty preparations to resist. He finally ap- peared again at the front door of tho courthouse to say to the bearers of the demand for surrender:
 "Tell the general to come on. I'll be ready for him."

MILLS $ SONS 10
 <. <: HAVE BIRTHDAY
Successful Real Estate and Insurance Firm Establish
 ed 38 Years Ago.

R. H. M. Mills & Sons will celebrate the 3Sth anniversary of the establish ment of their real estate and insur- ance agency next week. The senior member of this firm was pioneer resident of Pine Bluff, and the Mills family is the oldest family in Pine Bluff.
 Mir. Mills, Sr., took up the agency work alone, and, as his sons became old enough to take an interest in the agency, each of them took his place in the work.
 In 1895 the firm as it's exists at present was established, Arthur w.. and Tracy Mills being taken in a S agency members. John l.. Mills re- sided some years in Texas and retir- ed from the agency, but returned to the city and is handling sacualty in- surance.
 Pine Bluff has undergone consid- erable transformation since the agen: cy was established. The railroads, telephone, street railway. electric light and gas, things now considered absolutely essential, had no place in the community in that day.
 Incidentally, it may be mentioned that this agency was the first insti- tuition in Pine Bluff to use type writer, then device to create inter est and amusement, and far from be- ing the efficient writing machine today. h2 eas4
 Among the companies now repre- sented in this agency is the first com pany represented by MT. Mills, an- other which is the largest fire insur- ance company in the entire world, and yet another which is the leading fire insurance company in America.

I rushed home, got my wife and baby and rall to the river bank. We stayed there until the fight was over. Not many were killed. Clayton was nervy cuss. When the Confederates with drew, he pursued them. And him with only a little handful of men, compared othe opposing force"
