JfLkS SALESMAN
STAYS PATTERSON

Jelks, Ark, May 21.-Ed H. Pat
terson, one of the most prominent pol
iticians of this section of Arkansas,
was shot to death in the depot here at
4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon by Ed
Harris as Patterson was attempting
to draw his revolver after spirited
argument, according to half dozen
witnesses.
Patterson and Harris had passed
heated words when suddenly, accord
ing to reports, the former started his
right hand back towards his right hip
pocket. He had not got his gun en-
tirely free of his pocket, according to
witnesses, when Harris whipped out
his revolver and began firing. Six
shots rang out in rapid succession
Patterson fell and expired within a
few minutes.
Harris telephoned to Sheriff Bill
Wilkes at Augusta, requesting that he
come and take him to the county seat.
Harris is in the custody of the sheriff,
but last night no charge had been reg
istered against him.
Patterson was a state senator for
four years, from 1907 to 1911, inclu-
sive. He was a member of one of
the foremost families in this section
and was highly esteemed. A wi low
and four children survive.
Harris is trusted employe of the
Mullins Wholesale Grocery Company
and is man of family.
Mr.. Patterson was a brother of Mrs.
W. H. Emerson of this city and the
father of Bennett Patterson, who
graduated at Hendrix about three
years ago. Mr.. Emerson went to
Augusta this morning, but Mrs
Emerson was i'll and unable to ac-
company him.
