fN HUSBAND
SHOT BY WIFE.
, Painter Shot In Self
Defense — Had Attempted
Life of His Wife.
Texarkana, Feb. 29.—Ben H.
Dresser, a painter, was shot and
instantly killed by his wife at
their home or North Olive street
at 5 o’clock this afternoon, the
weapon used being a shotgun. -
Dresser, it is alleged, went
home intoxicated and carrying
the gun, with the avowed pur
pose of killing his wife. When
he attempted to shoot Mrs.
Dresser she grappled with him j
and succeeded in wrenching the '
weapon from his grasp. She
then pushed him out of the door
and ’phoned for an officer, but
before the latter arrived Dresser
broke in at another door. The
wife warned him to stay out and
presented the gun. As he con
tinued to advance the weapon
was discharged, the full charge
taking effect in the region of the
heart.
After a full investigation by
the officers, including the coro
nor, the case was pronounced
one of self-defense, and Mrs.
Dresser was discharged from
custody.
The couple have three chil
dren, ranging in age from 6 to 11
years.
Mrs. Dresser insists that she
did not mean to shoot, and that
the gun was discharged by acci
dent.
MISS MERLE HARDY
MARRIED AT BATESVILLE.
Batesville, Feb. 29.—A. F.
Nash and Miss Merle Hardy,
both of Batesville, were married
yesterday evening at the home
of the bride. The groom is a
salesman and the bride is one of
Batesville’s best known young
ladies.
CORONER HOLDS INQUEST.
Haywood Ellis, the negro shot
Saturday night on the Branden
burg farm, died Monday noon.
There are two theories as to the
shooting, suicide and murder.
Coroner Harrison had been
summoned and immediately after
his death began the work of se
curing a jury for the inquest.
VARDAMAN’S ATTITUDE.
Notwithstanding his attitude
toward the negro, Governor Vard
anian of Mississippi is doing all
he can to protect the colored
population of his state from mob
violence. Sunday he accom
panied the state troops to Bates
ville, Miss., for the purpose of
preventing a lynching and made
every possible effort to avoid any
possible outrage. Gov. Vardanian
can do more to disarm his for
eign critics in this way than
otherwise. No matter what sen- j
fimAiifo YYtoxr Dnforfain nnn. !
cerning the negro in the South ic j
is his duty to prevent mob vio
lence and to assist the officers of
the law in enforcing the statutes
as they find them.—Little Rock
Democrat.
BERRY VOTED
WITH COLLEAGUE.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 28.—
As was expected both of the
Senators f rom Arkansas support
ed the ratification of the treaty
when the vote was taken. Before j
casting his vote Senator Berry j
briefly outlined his views on the '
sub j ect. The senior senator from ,
Arkansas said if he believed the
defeat of the treaty would re*:
store Columbia’s sovereignty j
aver Panama he would vote
against the convention, but he;
declared the defeat of the treaty
would be unavailing in that re
spect. Discussing the attitude j
af the administration, he said he j
belived our navy supported the;
revolution, and that this govern-.
ment was responsible for the new
republic, but it has been proved
that the president would not
build a canal on the Nicaragua
route. In concluding his remarks
the venerable and popular Arkan
san said: “The people of the
south want the canal, therefore,
I think it is the duty of southern
representatives to vote for the
treaty. What the people of the
south want I want.” The differ
ence between the position of
Senator Berry and his colleague,
Senator Clarke, was very notice
able to those who heard the re
marks of both; there was no
praise or defense of the president
or his policy in the address de
livered by the senior senator, as
was the case when Senator
Clarke took the floor to explain
his views and reason for sup
porting the treaty.
