SEVERAL SKELETONS
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Opposite Jacksonport Sunday On
Old Dean Place—May Have
Been Burying Ground.
,--V -
While hunting for gold said to
have been buried there, a divin
ing rod w as pushed through the
skull of a skeleton only a few
inches under the ground on the
old Con Dean place, across the
river from Jacksonport Sunday.
Upon further investigation the
bones of three human beings
were found, and parties from
there say one of the skeletons
appears not to have been buried
more than a year ago.
The spot where they were
found is at the corner of the
house and immediately under the
old residence destroyed by fire
about one year ago. Some pion
eers say that the place was once
a burying ground, which may
account for the skeletons, but no
remnants or trace of coffins could;
be found.
HELENA’S DOUBLE
HANGING AUGUST 7.
•- (
Helena, May lb. — me rnmips;
circuit court adjourned Saturday;
afternoon, after having been in
session eleven days. A number of1
cases were continued, and the
session was cut short by perhaps
* a day on account of the indispo-;
sition of Judge H. N. Hutton, j
Before the adjournment of court j
Judge Hutton pronounced sen-'
tence upon the two murderers;
convicted at this term c f court,
Will Robertson and Tom Wilson.I
Wilson killed his brother, John,
■ Wilson, on April 23, and Robert- j
son shot his wife January 30.
Wilson received the sentence
stoically, almost sullenly, with
out any show of feeling. Rob
ertson, on the other hand, was
visibly disturbed and as the sen
tence was being read tears came!
into his eyes and he almost;
broke down. Both men were
sentenced to hang on Monday,
August 7.
CARBOLIC ACID
CAUSED DEATH.
Little Rock, May 16.-Mrs.
Edna Dutton, wife of Will H.
Button, died today from the
effects of carbolic acid, taken
\ accidentally. The bottles of nitre
*£'>$nd carbolic acid were found to
% gether on the wash stand. The
acid nau Deen usea ior a ,
time as a disinfectant, and the
jtunate woman had been
accustomed to use nitre for some
time. The similarity of their i
appearance caused the fatal mis
take. _
RESCUER ALSO
LOST HIS LIFE.
^ Forrest City. May 16.-In at
tempting to save the life of two
drowning negro boys in Crow
creek near this city Sunday a
negro man, name unknown, was j

as a result of the recent heavy;
rains, very much swollen, which j
Hampered the movements of the ■
negroes in the water.
JONESBORO BOY
CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Jonesboro, May 19. — Robert
Epps, a young boy 17 years of
age, was walking along the right
of way of the Cotton Belt rail
way in the east end of the yard
and stepped on a piece of coal
and fell under a freight train.
When taken out his left leg was
temporary relief, in the way of |
opiates. He lived about three
hours after the accident. His
parents reside about three mile3
in the country and arrived about i
a half hour after death came.
CROP CONDITIONS
GENERALLY FAIR
Though Progress of * Planting
Has Been Impeded by Ex
cessive Rains.
The crop report for the week
ending May 15 says the first of
the week was favorable for farm
operations, but heavy and in i
many sections excessive rains thei
latter part put a stop to farm
work. Crops are generally need
ing cultivation and would be
greatly benefited by warm, dry
weather.
Some cotton was planted, but j
there is much of this work yet
to he done. The early planted |
is generally up to a good stand
and some has been worked out,
in a fpw isolated localities
chopping has begun.
Corn is not all planted, but the i
early planted is generally up to1
a good stand and considerable j
has been plowed the first time,
but in many sections the crop is
in need of cultivation.
Oats, wheat and potatoes are
generally doing well. There is
still some complaint of apples
dropping, but the prospects con
tinue good for this fruit. Peach
es are generally doing well, pas
tures are excellent and stock in
good condition.
MAY LYNCH TWO
INSOLENT NEGROES.
Race Trouble Near Grays Which
May Lead to Mob Action.
Augusta, May 16.—Sheriff Pat
terson has been informed by tel
ephone that two negroes, named
Poindexter, undressed and went
in a pond close to and in plain
view of the residence of Joe
Blackwell, half a mile north of
Grays. Blackwell ordered them
out and away. They refused to
go, and he went into the house
for his gun, but when he re
turned they were armed and
stood him off.
Blackwell went to Grays and
i - _i._j_
swurc UUt a wanauti auu
an officer and posse returned to
arrest them. They found the
negroes barricaded in a house,
and as they approached the ne
groes fired upon them, but with-!
out effect. They were finally
captured, after Lee Poindexter
was badly wounded.
Excitement is high, but a
strong effort is being made to!
prevent the lynching of the ne- j
groes captured, and at this timei
it is believed there will be no
violence committed.
ROBERTS REFUSED
RIGHT TO SPEAK.
Marianna, May 16.—John V.
Roberts made application for the

ture. The board of directors

that Roberts could not have the
