SENATOR JONES’
SUPPORTERS CAUCUS, j
Defeated Resolution Calling For With- j
clrawal Of Senator’s Name From
Contest After Heated Dis
cussion.
A caucus of members of the general j
assembly instructed to vote for Sena- I
tor Jas. K. Jones for United States
senator met in the hall of the house of 1
representatives Friday morning at j
11:40 o’clock.
Hon. J. W. Ellis of Hempstead coun- i
ty was made chairman and Senator ;
Ben. E. McFerrin of Newton county |
secretary.
The object of the caucus was stated j
by the chairman. Senator Creed j
Caldwell of Jefferson county sent up
the following resolution:
Whereas, The two candidates for
United States senator saw tit to place
their destiny in the hands of the vot
ers at the primary election held on
the 29th of March, 1902; and
Whereas, One of the candidates, to
wit, James P. Clarke, received a ma
jority of the popular votes cast at
said election and a majority of the
delegated votes in the legislature for
said office; therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
caucus that the following telegram be
sent to Senator James K. Jones, the
defeated candidate at that primary
election:
“A caucus of the senators and rep
resentatives representing the counties
carried by you at the primary election
on the 29th of last March was held to
day and they desire that you request
that your name be not presented to
the legislature as a candidate for
United States senator. They believe
f Tntvinn D fllovlro io f-Vi o mcnrit .
ic nominee of Arkansas for that of
fice.”
Considerable excitement was caused
by the reading of the resolution, and
cries of “Vote it down” were heard
over the house.
Mr. Chestnut of Fulton county se
cured the floor and moved the adop
tion of the following substitute:
“Resolved, That it is the sense of
this caucus that each member of the
house and senate cast his vote as he
has been instructed by his people.”
Mr. Keel of Jackson said his county
had instructed for Jones, but in view
of all the circumstances he believed it
nothing but right for Senator Jones to
withdraw. That if Senator Jones did
not wish to abide by the result of the
primary what right did we have to
expect any other Democrat to do so?
It absolutely nullifies S£ primary—a
Democratic institution, made for Dem
ocrats and operated by Democrats,
rle hoped the substitute would not
prevail, but stated if it -did he would
carry out the instructions of Jackson
county.
The chair ordered the roll called,
and the substitute was adopted by a
vote of 37 to 3.

GIRL BURNED TO DEATH.
Miss Cora Metcalf of Newark Meets
Death in Ilorriole Manner
Clothing Ignited While
Starting Fire
Miss Cora Metcalf, fourteen-year
old daughter of Joe Metcalf of New
ark, met with a painful accident Mon
day, from which she died Wednesday
night says the Journal of that town.
She was kindling a fire in the kitch
en stove and in some manner her
clothing became ignited. She became
frightoned and started to run out in
the yard. Her sister started to her
rescue, but the frightened girl outran
her. The father, who was in an ad
joining room, heard the screams of
the unfortunate girl, and grabbing a
quilt off the bed, started in pursuit.
He succeeded in catching his daughter
and, wrapping the quilt around her,
extinguished the flames, but not until
the unfortunate young lady was hor
ribly burned.
Her clothing was almost entirely
burned from her body and she was
borne to the house and everything
possible done for her that could be
done by skillful and wilflng hands.
Her condition, however, was such
that she was beyond the aid of human
skill and on Wednesday night death
came to her relief.
BALCH SLEPT WHILE
GRIP WAS STOLEN.
Mr. H. V. Balch of Tupelo, Jackson
county, who reached Batesville last
Friday night on his way to Barren
Fork was relieved of his grip by two

the coach and seated themselves near
the property they were after. Balch
dropped off to sleep and the boys se
cured and got away with his grip.
The theft was reported to tfi'S marshal
and Sheriff Morgan, and they soon
spotted Pinkney Couch and Jessie
Shaver. Another colored boy named
Simpson was also arrested but it de
veloped that he took no part in the
matter. Soon after stealing the grip,
[ which contained $40 in cash, a new
| suit of clothes and a ladies’ watch Vie
' boys left town. They were finally lo
cated at Evening Shade where Sheriff
Morgan found them and brought them
back to Batesville. After being ar
rested the boys confessed to getting
the property, all of which was found
where they concealed it, except some
$6 or $7 in money which they spernt.
They are now in jail and will after the
next term of the court be ready to ac
cept a pardon from the governor.—
