NEGRO COMES ID SEE CIRCUS; ARRESTED
 SHOOTING IN 1904
John Pettigrew Shot Two Men in Saloon at Wabbaseka 15
 Years Ago.

Fifteen years ago John Pettigrew.
 negro, shot and wounded Edmond
 Isom and Walter McNeil, negroes, at
 Wabbaseka. He disappeared. Think
 ing that the years had "outiaWed
 the charges against him, PettigreW
 returned here recently. Sheriff c..
 NJ. Nichol learned of his presence III
 the county, and concluded that Petit
 grew probably would come to Pine
 Bluff yesterday, attracted by adyer-
 tisements of the Sells-Floto circus.
 The sheriff's conclusions were cor
 rect. Pettigrew came to Pine Bluff,
 Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett es,,
 pied him, and the negro was place. under arrest on a warrant charging assault to kill. He was released on bond of S1,500, signed by Ben Rich ardson, who employed him recently. 7 ,Pettigrew was indicted for shoot ing Isom, but was never indicted for shooting McNeil. However, he will be prosecuted for both alleged offen- SIS. Pettigrew is said to have shot McNeil four times, this growing out of the killing of Pettigrew's brother by McNeil This occurred in q saloon at Wabbaseka. When McNeil drop ped behind the bar, which he was lending, with three bullets in him, Pettigrew is said to have leaped up- on the counter and looked down at his victim. Why, tho is Is shaking his head. He ain't dead yet" Pettigrew fired again. Me Neil recovered from the four bullet wou.lds, and probably will appear against his assailant.
 Pettigrew thought the indictment had been dismissed and that he could not be prosecuted for shooting McNeil after so many years, but h. is wrong, according to Prosecuting Attorney E. W. Brockman. Under the law, it seems that if one commits an offense, remains in the county and is not indicted or prosecuted within three years, he may successfully plead this fact. But if he has been q fugitive, he may be indicted and prosecuted after three years.
 This was upheld here recently in the case of George Daniels accused of grand larceny. Daniels fled more than three years ago. He returned, was recognized by Chief Of Police Frank Stewart, was arrested indict ed, tried, convicted and sentenced to one years Imprisonment. Daniels pleaded immunity because of elapse| of time without indictment, but this was overruled. He has given notice of an appeal to the supreme court.

Packers Continue to Argue Against New
 Regulation Plans

Washington, Aug. 28.-Westerners opposed to regulation of the packing industry, as proposed in the Kenyon and Knderick bills occupied almost the exclusive attention of the senate agriculture committee, today in it's hearings on the two measures. A large delegation of Colorado citizens, led by E. M. Ammons, former gov ernor of the state, consumed most of the day and the delegation leader wound up the hearing with a speech, which, contrary to custom, was ap- plauded warmly in the committee room.
 "The agitation against high prices has developed an intention to find a goat somewhere, and this legislation would make the packers the goat" :" the former governor said. Touching upon experience with forest land leases and the national experience with railroads, teler' ones and war restrictions, he asserted that there was "a deadly fear of any more of it.
 The geographical source of opposi- tion was switched to the South late in the day, when c. F. Thomas, a Prattsville, Ala, banker, said that "the packers have brought prosperity wherever they have come in the South ern country"
 "We fear that restrictions on them now may stop the growth of our ter ritory" he said.
