WANTED HERE ON
 MURDER CHARGE
FLETCHER MOORE, NEGRO AR RESTED IN LITTLE ROCK, AD- MITS HE KILLED OTTO BELL HERE IN JANUARY.

The Arkansas Gazette this morn ing says:
 Fletcher Moore, negro, arrested Wednesday afternoon by Detective Hooter and Martin on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, ad- mitted later that he was wanted in Marianna for killing Otto Bell, ne- gro, and for shooting and wounding Lula Bell in the latter part of Jam uary.
 "Hooter and Martin received a tip from another negro that Moore always went armed and that he was wanted in Marianna on murder charge. They located Moore near the county hospital shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon but Moore had thrown his weapon in a clump of grass near by, where it was found by the officers. He did not offer any resistance.
 "To Gazette reporter last night Moore said he had to kill Bel, in self defense. He said that Lula Bell became i'll and that Bells income was not sufficient to pay for the services of a physician. He said iS OSliiCiiQCu tuc pdlT Dy Ldk10g them into his home, buying them groceries and also by giving them money. Later after a quarrel, he he said Bell picked up a hatchet and when he ordered the couple to leave, he said Bell picket up hatchet and started toward him. Moore said he ran into an adjoining room and, securing a pistol, fired one shot, which killed Bell. . Moore said that the woman leaped from her bed and went to Bells body. He said he believed Bell still alive, and fired another shot at the body. He missed and the bullet struck the woman in her arm.
 Moore said he fled and all that night walked and ran. He said he stopped at negro's house early the next morning and learned that he was within half mile of the scene of the killing. He has been in Little Rock for more than a month, he says. Marianna officers were notified"

 Baptist EUangeList

Dr. T. N. Compton of Kentucky, famous Baptist minister, has been preaching a remarkable series of sermons at the First Baptist church in Marianna the past week and capacity crowds have been in at- tendance at all the night services. Dr. Compton is one of the most eloquent and scholarly evangelists who has ever conducted revival services in this city. His sermons are clothed in the choicest and richest language and throughout all his discourses there runs a con- tinuity of thought and deep spirit uality that constitute powerful appeal to both the saved and nnsav- ed. Unlike the average modern evangelist the minister resorts to no slap-stick excitment, but relies upon the power of the gospel and the sincerity and earnestness of his message to move the people. His sermons have been religious and intellectual treat to the hundreds of people who have heard him this week. He will continue the series of meetings all next week. Morning services are held at 10 o'clock on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings of each week. On Sunday evenings the other ministers will cal in their services in order that members of their congregations may hear Dr. Compton.

School Principal
 Shot By Merchant

Memphis, May 29.-James Terral, P years old, principal of the schools at Hubert, Ark, lies at the Presby- terian hospital critically, perhaps fatally wounded. the result of a quarrel with Frank Jacks, 25, mer- chant of Hubert, late "Wednesday afternoon over the signing of a petition. At late hour last night Terral was on the operating table and the outcome of his injury was extremely doubtful. He was shot once through the abdomen with a large calibre pistol.
 The trouble between the two men arose Wednesday following the cir culation of petition by the prin- cipal of the school on some mat ters pertaining to the school man. agement. Terral had just returned from Marion, the county seat.
 Jacks is said to have met the principal in front of the general store run by Jacks and asked to have his name taken off the peti- ton. Terral is said to have re- monstrated, whereupon the mer- chant jerked the petition from his
 pyoeoHuCis say, anu tore It up. Terral objected and is quoted as having said that Jack should have merely scratched his name off the petition instead of tearing it up. Hot words ensued and both men are said to have made threats.
 Half hour later Terral is said to have reappeared near Jacks store armed with shotgun. As soon as he came within pistol range, Jacks is alleged to have opened fire. Ter rall fell and was carried into a nearby residence. He was rushed to Memphis for medical attention. Jacks was put under arrest pending the outcome of his victims injuries. z MT. Terral went from Little Rock to Hubert to accept the position of principal of the schools. He is a brother of Tom Terral of Little Rock, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor.

ON EARLY HISTORY
MRS. E. D. WALL CALLS ATTEN- TON TO SOME INACCURACIES IN ARTICLE ON OLD THoMP- SON HOMESTEAD.

Recently the Courier-Index pub lisehd story written by Mrs. E. D. Wall on the erection of the old Thompson house near Marianna. Mrs. Wall, as the leading spirit in the D. A. R. in Marianna, has been deeply interested for several years in delving into the musty records of the past and digging up interesting data about the early settlers of Lee county. Necessarily she has to rely in great measure upon infor- nation furnished by some of the old timers, and in some instances this information is not complete. Tn the story published about the build ing of the Thompson homestead it has since developed that some inac- curacies found their way into the article, due not to any fault upon the part of Mrs. Wall, but to the fact that it is a physical impossi- bility to secure all the data about the early doings of the old settlers until after the publication of an in- itial article. Then many people who are in possession of information come forward and volunteer what they know. In this connection Mrs. Wall has handed to the Courier-In- dex the following article containing some corrections on the building of the Thompson house: .
 ms house was built in 1855 or 1852 by Arthur Thompson's grand father, Hamilton Jones, who came nere from Limestone county, Ala bama in 1849. Mir. Jones had pur- chased a section and half of land here, but did not move his family until two or three years later. The timbers for the barge on which he brought his slaves and household goods were cut at Athens, Ala. in- stead of Athens, Ga, as before stat ca. These timbers were hauled to Browns Ferry on the Tennessee River about five miles from the Jones home and there the barge was constructed and loaded for it's iour- ney to the new home. The river route was not unfamiliar to HamiI- ton Jones for he. with his neiphbors. had made annual trips to the Now Orleans market on flat boat load ed with cotton, wool, hides and grain from their plantations.
 Hamilton Jones' children were. Jane, who married Jack Cren- shaw.
 Sarah, fho married HaIman Rice
 Fannie, who married pr. Hoffman
 Eliza, the youngest child, married M. A. J. Thompson.
 Clinton, Calvin, Tom, Kimbrou0b manned for Baptist preacherl Hamilton, jr.. and David.
 Some. of his descendants Iivin0 m Marianna today are as follows: Mrs. Julia Slaughter, Mrs. Pat Moore, Mrs. Adlai Harden. Mrs Brown. Mrs. Hattie Hampton. Ar thur Thompson, the Beauchamps. r The D. A. R. reporter is indebted to the above named persons who now reside in Marianna and to II r. Farrar for this information.
 Hamilton Jones, before he moved to Artansas, for many years ran a stage tmail and passenger) between Athens and Florence, Ala.

 Referring to your telephone con- versatlon of this morning we regret very much to have not been able to give you something more defi- nite in regard to supply of coal But to us the situation is so alarm ing that it is impossible to nron- ise anything positive about supplv.
 Leaving tho matter as you have with us, to ship you what we can. ealing you up over long distance phone advising you of the number. places us in better position to serve you. Now the situation is this, the mines are runnino only one and two days a week on ac- count of no cars to lead, every rail- road and industrial plant in the country is out of coal, there is no domestic coal and so you can ad- wise the people of Marianna of this serious situation. getting them to let you put their coal in at once. I would not advise you to have any Kentucky coal shipped and stocked IT. your yard, but it should be haul ed to the buildings in which it is going to be used at once.
 Your public schools and other public buildings should get tbeir supply at once and your mayor and c'tv officials should advise the peo- ple there to do likewise" 80

To RigidIy Enforce
 Traffic Ordinance

The police department requests that public notice be served to the effect that in the future the traffic ordinance will be rigidly en- forced. This means that speeders will be arrested and cited for ap- pearance before the police judge. The speed limit within the city lim- its is fifteen miles an hour and seven miles at intersections. This means that under the most favor able conditions this speed is per mitted If the conditions of traffic on the streets are such that it would be dangerous to go fifteen miles, it is the duty of the driver to slow down to what is known to be a safe speed. A plain clothes man has been added to the force and will assist the regular officers in ap- pretending speeders. Autoists are also notified that they must not operate cars with mufflers open. If nuffler is out of repair it is the duty of the motorist to have it fix ed. Both headlights must be on at night. No excuses will be accept ed. Motorists are requested to use
 dinners when driving within the city limits.
 Still another request is made of the merchants and that is that they have their porters sweep off the sidewalks just before business is
 closed on Saturday nights so the pavements may present clean and sanitary appearance on Sunday
 morning. The city will see that the waste paper and rubbish is taken ur late Saturday night or early Sun. l day morning.
