NEGRO SHOT BY
DEPUTY RICHARDSON.
Ben Douglass Shot Through Shoulder
By Officer Richardson When Re
sisting Arrest—Two Stories
of the Shooting.
About 11 o’clock Tuesday night
Officer H. C. Huffman and Deputy V.
G. Richardson were called to the
negro quarters on Upper Front street
by a disturbance, which Ben Douglass,
a negro who runs the pool room ad
joining the O’Neal saloon, says was
caused by some one breaking out the
glassin his front door.
Douglass had fired a boy who
worked for him, thinking the latter
responsible for the broken glass, and
was doing some loud talking when the
officers came up and started to place
him under arrest. Nothing was done
at this time, however, and the officers
returned about twelve.
Huffman states that Louis Skates
made a move to resist the officers,
whereupon Richardson covered him
with a gun and when Douglass made
a pass as if to resist, Richardson open
ed fire upon him, one bullet entering
the left shoulder and passed out
through the arm. Chas. Andrews, a
negro bystander, says Richardson be
gan shooting before resistance was
made. Douglass is not known to
have carried a weapon, though he was
not searched.
The physician in attendance upon
Douglass says his injury will not prove
fatal.
TAMMANY CARRIES NEW YORY.
George B. McClellan Elected Over
Seth Low by Seventy Thousand
Plurality—Devery Made
Poor Showing.
New York, Nov. 3.—After a remark
able campaign in which there were
united against him nearly all of the
newspapers and practically every
minister of religion in the city, George
B. McClellan, son of the civil war
general, was today elected third
mayor of Greater New York over
Seth Low, fusionist, the present
mayor, by the large plurality of about
7Q,000.
Edward M. Grout was elected comp
troller and Chas. V. Fornes president
of the board of aldermen. These two
men were originally on the fusion
ticket and were endorsed by Tam
many, whereupon the fusionists took
their names from the Low ballots and
nominated other candidates.
The surprise was the low vote for
Wm. S. Devery, former chief of police,
who ran on an independent tioket,
was given practically no support.
The result shows a tremendous
change of public sentiment since
Mayor Low’s election two years ago,
when he wc n by 31,523. Low carried
only one borough, Richmond, by
about 200 votes.
The result was known early and at
8:15 Mayor Low sent this telegram of
congratulation to Col. McClellan:
“1 congratulate you on your elec
tion. If I can be of service to you
pray command me.
(Signed) “Seth Low.”
CARD OF THANKS.
The very beautiful vase presented
to me in the name of the Arkansas di
vision U. D. C. in the parlors of the
Arlington hotel, Hot Springs, after the
convention had adjourned Friday
evening came after some of those
persons instrumental in this kind act
had gone.
I feel that since I cannot take each
one by the hand and express my sin
cere appreciation of their love and
kindnesB, that I must resort to this
method of saying how overwhelmed
with gratitude I am.
Not alone for this tangible expres
sion from these Daughters of the
Confederacy, nor the usual “rising
vote of thanks,” but in the numerous
ways shown to me during this con
vention of their great appreciation of
my small service rendered during the
past year.
Though I reluctantly take up this
work again on account of lack of time,
their unanimous desire to have me do
so pleased me very much.
With much appreciation, most obe
diently, Mrs. Charles H. Wilmans,
Recording Secretary, Ark. Div., U.
D. 0.
Newport, Ark., November 1, 1903.

MOB LYNCHED NEGRO*
AT LAKE VILLAGE.
Doors of Jail Battered Down at Noon
day by Lynchers—Negroes Had
Killed Frank Anderson and
Wounded Vinson.
Lake Village, Nov. 3.—Henry John
son, colored, was taken from jail here
at noon today by a mob and hanged
in the center of town. The lynching
was the result of a shooting affray
which occurred between 1 and 2
o’clock this morning in Joe Frame’s
saloon between negroes on one side
and whites on the other. One white
man, Frank Anderson, was killed and
another, Baldy Vinson, a well known
lawyer of Little Rock, was wounded,
but not seriously. Several others
were wounded.
The trouble early this morning is
said to have been precipitated by the
negro waiters in the saloon. Ander
son is reported to have resented the
action of some of the negroes in
throwing beer around the place. Pro
fane language was used by some of
the negroes and when Anderson pro
tested it appears that Ed Coleman, a
negro, pulled a pistol and began
shooting. A fusilade followed and
when the firing ceased it was found
that Anderson had been shot dead,
with several bullets in his body; that
Baldy Vinson was shot in two places,
both flesh wounds, and that Joe Frame
was shot in the foot. Of the negroes
engaged in the affray it was found
that Ella McDowell had been shot,
the ball entering her back and lodged
in the breaBt.
Ed Coleman, the negro who started
the shooting, fled immediately. A
posse was organized as soon as possi
ble and started in pursuit.
Henry Johnson, one of the negroes
who was in the saloon when the trou
ble came up and is said to have par
ticipated in the fight, was arrested'
and placed in jail.

the Cosmopolitan Carnival Company

the fair. The attractions are too in
numerable to mention and big crowds
are expected throughout the week.

died Tuesday evening at six o’clock
after a nine days’ sickness with pneu
monia at his home near Erwin’s Switch
j on a farm of Dr. G. D. Clements’.
The deceased, who was a son of
James Foushee, leaves a wife and
I three children and his remains were

multiply. Many prescriptions present problems
which only A SKILLFUL PHARMACIST can
rightly solve. We are prepared to fill any pre
scription, no matter where or by whom written.
