IS. M. HALL SLAIN
BY GIRL’S FATHER.
Austin Merchant Who Eloped
With Batesville Girl Killed
By Her Father, H. C.
Hancock, in Bates
ville Wednesday
Batesville, March 23. — S. M.
Hall, a well-known merchant of
Austin, Lonoke county, was shot
and instantly killed here at 8
o’clock tonight by H. C. Hancock
of this place. Hall was shot
three times. The tragedy is the
sequel to the elopement of Hall
and Miss Bessie Hancock, in
January last.
Hall recently returned to Ar
kansas and stated that he pro
posed to try to live down the
past and resume business at Aus
tin. Miss Hancock had been
brought to her home here by her
father. Hall arrived at Bates
ville this afternoon, for what
purpose is not made clear yet.
Hancock learned that Hall was
here and the developments show
that he hunted him up. It was
evident Hancock believed Hall
had come to Batesville because
Miss Hancock was here.
NO WORDS PASSED.
Hancock came upon Hall in
front of the court house at 8
o’clock tonight. There was no
words between the men. Han
cock immediately pulled a re
volver and began firing at Hall.
He fired probably four or five
shots, three taking effect in vi
tal parts and any one of which
was sufficient to cause death.
Hall fell after the first shot, dy
ing almost instantly. After the
shooting Hancock surrendered
to the sheriff and was placed in
jail.
Much excitement followed the
tragic occurrence. Hancock made
no formal statement of his rea
sons for killing Hall, beyond the
simple remark that Hall had led
his daughter astray.
With the return of Miss Han
cock to Arkansas recently it was
supposed by many that her sen
sational elopement with Hall last
January would become merely a
reminiscence. The girl’s father
followed the elopers to Montana
before he overtook them, and he
induced his daughter to return
home with him. Not long after
that Hall, too, came back to Ar
kansas.

A WORD OF COMFORT
To the Distressed.
_____
Fortunately for those suffering with
i Rheumatism in all its various forms, in
cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and
Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered
by modern science which in every instance
effects a speedy and positive cure. This
new remedy is founded on scientific prin
j ciples which are acknowledged by the
medical world as the only correct treat
’ ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles.
Medicines taken internally rarely everef
| feet a cure without upsetting the stomach.
As a rule, they injure the digestive organs,
shatter the nerves, and in many instances
the patient contracts a drug habit which
leads eventually to a decline of the physi
cal and mental forces.
Paracamph is the new remedy and it is
, a departure from the antiquated methods.
! Paracamph enters into the system through
the natural channels, namely, the pores
of the skin. When applied i. opens the
pores and allows the healing, soothing oils
to penetrate the sore, inflamed mebranes
and muscles, removes the congestion and
draws out the fever and inflammation, by
inducing sweating. This is the only treat
ment that can be indorsed by science, and
is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti
nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used
as directed. Paracamph can be procured
at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and
$1.00 bottles. Write for book of testimo
nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company
