manner displeasing to some citizens
who had complained to the marshal
and demanded that he take steps
to quell the disturbances. 1t ap-

The cotton market since the is

CONSTABLE WILD RACSDALE

Perforations- Remains Returned to Cardwell

station and, according to report,
trouble started Immediately and both
drew guns. The marshal fired
first, the bullet taking effect in
Ragsdale's abdomen.
Just what was the nature of the
ugly feeling that is said to have
existed between the two men, and
when it began, it is not known.
The only information upon the sub
ject that has reached here being
that the immediate cause of the
shooting was due to Marshal Hills
effort to quiet unbecoming conduct
that had developed in the town
during recent days, resulting in
citizens requesting the city official
to put a stop to it, The trouble
came to tragical climax yester-
day afternoon.
The constable meeting his death
formerly resided in this county. He
was reared two miles north Of M
Carmel and lived with the late Thos
Meredith, it is said. He left Greene
county % years ago, locating in
Dunklin and had resided in the
Cardwell section many years.
No information has been received
as to the nature of the charge that
has been lodged against Marshal
Hill. 1t is said that the officer
was devoting himself exclusively tc
the performance of his official duty
and that his shooting Constable
Ragsdale was purely in self de-
Tense. Ragsdale's grown son &C.
companied the wounded man to the
city. The patient was in charge OF
DR.. ,Burchett. Others from Cardwell
were in attendance at the patients
bedside when death INTERVIEWED al
$40 o'clock but they declined to
discuss details Of the tragedy.
The remains Of Mr. Ragsdale were
returned to Cardwell this morning.

Burn.

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-More than
5000 bales of cotton in Warehouse
No. / of the St. Louis Compress
Company, Seventh and Locust streets
in North Little Rock, was destroyed
by fire of unknown origin early last
night. The cotton which was owned
principally by the Lesser7Goldnan
Cotton Company and AID Hamberg
& Co., was valued at more than
100000. The building destroyed
resulted in an additional 100000
loss. The entire losses are covered
by insurance, according to officials
of the compress company and the
Lesser- Goldman company last hight,
who were at the scene.
.F,.H. Good, general superintend1
eht Of the. St. Louis Cotton Compress
Company No. 2, with Hayley MI
Bennett of the Lesser-Goldman Cot
ton Company, arrived on the scene
within short time after the fire
was discovered and directed a force
of negro volunteers who worked
heroically at removing burning bales
of cotton The negroes followed
the firemen who checked the flames
at the east end of the warehouse
sufficiently to permit handling. An
other company stream manned by
several negroes, drenched the bales
as they were brought out.
To Rebuild at Once.
Mr.. Good said last night that
the warehouse probably will be re-
placed Immediately. Mr.. Bennett
said that he was unable to estimate
the number Of bales destroyed that
belonged to the Lesser-Goldman
Company. He said that check-up
Of the books will be necessary to
determine the exact number.
Mr.. Good announced last night
that the business at the compress
will go on as usual. mo part of
the compress machinery was dam
aged" he said, and we will oper-
ate as always"

Made Against Barring of

Gloucester, Mass. Sept. 21.-Not all
OF Gloucester is in agreement with the

without protest the disbarment OF the
Boston schooner Mayfiower from this

ermen's cup. Mayor Wheeler. himself

meeting OF the committee last night.
said a mistake was made when the
committee acquiesced in the elimina-
ton by the Canadian cup trustees of
the vessel that was named as the
American defender.
why eliminate the Mayfiower?' he
asked, after referring to the fact that
IL was contended she was more nearly
yacht than fisherman. when a skilled
Nova Scotian designer laid down the
lines for the speedy vessel which has
been built as this years Canadian
challenger. Down East they must
think that we OF Gloucester are a lot

CHINESE CABINET
TO BE REORGANIZED
Changes i'm Official Personnel Will be
Made at Early Date, is
Report.

Picking. Sept. 81. - (By Associated
Press) Reorganization of the Chinese
cabinet at an early date is forecasted
in political circles here. This is said
to be due to the alleged persistence
of Gen. Chin Yun-Peng to resign from
the premiership and the failure of
acting Minister of Finance Pan-Fu to
meet the requirements in financially
rehabilitating the government. 1t il
reported that DIR. w. w. Yen contem-
plates resigning from the post of for
eign minister and as head of the
Chinese delegation going to Washing
ton as a result of tho demand that he
reduce the delegation by so per cent.
This demand is said to have been the
result of the financial situation in
which tho government finds ITSELF.
Whether the cabinet stands or falls
appears to depend largely upon the at
titude of Gen Chang Tso-Ling, mill
tary governor of Manchuria, and Gen.
Tsao Kun, civil governor Of the prov
ince of Chill. They are said to favor
a plan by which the premier would
remain in Office, and are urging that
new financial acquisitions be made by
the government to relieve the present
stringency.
