A. S. WILSON A VICTIM OF
FRIENDS WEAPON.

Itta Bena, Miss, Aug. 31.-A
most unfortunate accident at
Peteet Sunday night cost A. S.
Wilson Of this city, well-known
travelling agent of J. NJ. Frost &
Co. of Memphis, his life in less
than three hours. Mr.. Wilson had
gone from here late Sunday even
ing to Peteet, where he owned a
fishing camp, keptby his brother
in-law, Walter Radney. After
spending some time at the camp
it was suggested that Wilson and
Henry Hackman ride over to the
plantation house 81 II. E. Williams,
a mile west. There was only one
horse available and they both rode
that. The two men started back
to camp about II o'clock at night,
Wilson in the saddle and Hack
man riding behind. The latter
had taken along his revolver.
, When only short distance from
| the Williams house it was sug-
gested that the revolver be fired
off time or two. Hackman
drew the weapon and fired it into
the air, causing the horse to be-
| come unmanageable, and Hack
man fell off. In doing so the
weapon was discharged, striking
| Wilson in the side. Aid was sum-
moned and the wounded man
was taken back to Williams farm
house. However, he was in a
dying condition, living only three
hours. An inquest was held at
Peteet Monday morning, entirely
exonerating Hackman. The re-
mains were brought to Itta Bena
Monday evening and inferred in
the Itta Bena Cemetery.

COUNTY AND TOWN NEWS Some of The Events That Have Transpired in
 This Vicinity
 Recently
HoUe They Gotten Wise?

What has become of Col. AL phabet Sellers. ' that prolific person of Albuquerque. who has been so busy hammerlng the Old Trails Route for the last few months? Have the Albuquerque papers become wise to the gen tleman's little publicity game, and asked him to pay advertising rates for the promotion of his gubernatorial boom?
 Two weeks ago the News sug gested that the papers of that town, which so readily fell for the Sellers bunk, charge him regular advertising rates for it. Have they acted upon the sug- gestion of the News and asked for remittances? Or have they realized that they have been worked" artistically by the glib Colonel. and that the prin- cipal object he sought in carry ing on his knocking campaign agalnst the Old Trails Route was to keep his name before the pub lie?
 It's certain that something has happened. either to the Sellers typewriter or to the minds of the newspaper men who formerly printed his screeds. for during the last ten days 1t has been pos slble to read the Albuquerque papers without wading through a lot of transformation about torrentiaI rains. washed out bridges and impossible condi- tions along the Old Trails Route.
