WALTER HORTEN WILL HANG.
Jury Returns Verdict of Murder in
First Degree After Being Out
Less Than Hour Friday
Afternooq.
Walter Horten must hang unless the
higher court or governor save him
from the penalty imposed by a. jury
of his peers. Horten was convicted
of the murder of Ed Clark on Sep
tember 27, 1902, at Weldon, having
confessed to the killing and the jury
found the facts leading up to the
crime to warrant a verdict of murder
in the first degree.
Upon the conclusion of Prosecuting
Attorney Oldfield’s review of the case
and urgent exhortation to the jury,
the court instructed that body to re
tire. In less than an hour the court
was informed that a finding had been
reached and at 4 o’clock the jury filed
into the court room, where the clerk
was instructed to read the following
verdict: “We the jury find the de
fendant guilty of murder in the first
degree. W. C. Wharton, foreman.”
Court adjourned shortly afterwards
until Monday morning, without fixing
a day for sentencing the prisoner
when the date of the execution will be
named. There are two other trials,
one for murder in the first degree and
the other for rape, where a convic
tion may mean the death penalty, yet
to be heard at this term of court.
CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.
Will Watkins, carrying a pistol;
fined $50 upon plea of guilty.
Will Watkins, assault with intent to
kill; continued to next term of court.
Bond fixed at $300. J. R. Mayhan
security.
James Rager, grand larceny; plea
of guilty and penalty fixed at one
year in the penitentiary.
Charles Ferrill, grand larceny; plea
of guilty and penalty fixed at one
year in the penitentiary.
CIVIL DOCKET RECORD.
J. T. Ward versus R. F. Edwards,
debt; judgment for $366.80.
D. W. and Dan Clice, removal of
disabilities of minority, the former
being 20 and the latter 18 years of
age; petition granted.
GRAND JURY’S WORK.
The grand jury on Friday returned
eight additional indictments and after
hearing about 115 witnesses thus far
this term, adjourned Friday afternoon
to meet Monday morning at 10 o’clock.
A copy of the indictment for rape has
been served upon L. B. Boon.

SHERIFF AFTER HOLCOMBE.
Sheriff R. W. Bandy and two depu
ties left Saturday morning for a trip
down on the Island in search of Lee
Holcombe, the murderer of E. Mott.
He was seen by parties Saturday
morning in company with a woman
near the scene of the crime and tried
to avoid detection.
The murder of old man Mott furn
ished a dark chapter in the criminal
annals of this county, and it is to be
hoped that Holcombe may be brought
to trial.
TEXARKANA MERCHANTS
. WANT SALOONS.
Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 11.—About
100 leading business men of the Ar
kansas side of town met at Foreman
hall yesterday afternoon and unani
mously voted a protest against the
present efforts to bring about prohi
bition on that side of the state line,
and also adopted a resolution request
ing the city council to raise the retail
liquor license from its present rate,
#700, to #1,500. A committee was also
appointed to wait on the prohibition
agitators, including the preachers, and
request them to let up on their agita
tion. City scrip has gone down sev
eral points within the past few days
owing to the prohibition movement,
and this afternoon the street gang
quit working the streets, owing to
this depreciation.
CAPT. FUNSTON
BECOMBS INSANE.
Hot Springs, Sept. 11.—Capt. W. P.
Funston of Little Rock, an officer of
Gen. Haynes’ staff, but who was re
lieved from duty on account of his
peculiar actions during the second day
of the encampment, became violently
insane today on the Btreet while in the
company of a couple of officers of the
state guard.
The unfortunate young man was
taken to the army and navy hospital
for treatment, and his father wired of
the sad occurrence. Capt. Funston’s
demeanor for several days has at
tra&ed attention and presaged the at
j ta(|s. His hallucination is that he is ir
I coiimand of a large army and order*
attacks on imaginary enemies.
s is the only sad occurrence o
f ate encampment.
DESERTING DAVIS.
Senator Kilgore Says Governor Is
Losing Friends Fast Over
Southern Section of
State.
Senator A. S. Kilgore of Columbia!
jounty, who was recently in Pine
Bluff, talks enthusiastically of the gu
jernatorial campaign in the southern
portion of the state.
“While the campaign has started
sarly,” said he, “Davis and his hench
men have not caught us unprepared,
rhus far there have been two politi
jal meetings held in my county, and
aoth of them have been distinctly
mti-Davis. A decided reversal of
feeling toward our present governor
has swept over the entire southern
portion of our state, and many who
have been his staunch supporters
have been compelled to turn against
him. The speaking at Magnesia
Springs was a fair sample. The meet
ing was worked up by the Davis men
themselves, and Wood and Vande
venter were only there to be made
fun of, but when the speaking was,
over, and the people had a chance to
size up the candidates, there was a de
cided turning from the demagogue.
Davis is losing ground and votes in
south Arkansas every day, while the
sentiment against him is growing.
The people are tired of him. I am
unable to say which is the stronger,
Wood or Vandeventer, but both have
made many friends.”
SK ULL CRUSHED
RIDING A TRAIN.
James Shaefer, a negro of Weather
ford, Texas, was seriously and per
haps fatally injured Friday morning,
says the Poplar Bluff Citizen, while
attempting to get off Iron Mountain
passenger No. 6. He had been steal
ing a ride on the train, secreted be
tween the vestibules of two baggage
coaches. When the train began to
slow up for the station be tried to
pass through the opening between
the vestibules, but the train in round
ing a curve caused the steel frame
works of the vestibules to close to,
catching the unfortunate man’s head
between them and crushing the skull.
A CLEVER COMPANY.
“Darkness and Daylight,” a forcible
dramatization of Mary J. Holmes’
noted novel by that name, was im
pressively presented at the opera
house Friday night before a fair house,
being the opening attraction of the
season.
There is little of comedy in the play,
for the plot would hardly warrant
levity in such an atmosphere of mis
fortune and grief, and the whole
drama is deeply touching in its con
tinuity of pathetic scenes.
The star, Sarah Boyd, as Edith
Hastings, the orphan waif, who finds
a home with the noble Richard Har
rington, was ably supported if not
eclipsed by others of histrionic talent.
May Roberts Gillard in the part of
Nina was remarkably good and all the
male members of the cast can only be
complimented for their true portrayal
of character.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.
Jonesboro, Sept. 11.—A romantic ga
society wedding, which was an entire
surprise to the friends of the con
tracting parties, occurred in our city .
Thursday, night, the parties thereto
being Morris Lyde and Miss Nellie
Parr. The groom is a young man of
sterling qualities, and during his three
years’ residence in bur city has made
many friends, who eagerly congratu
late him upon the successful termina
tion of his courtship. Miss Parr was
reared in Jonesboro, and from her in
fancy up has been a social favorite.
Beautiful in face and form, thoroughly
accomplished,she is eminently fitted to
preside as queen of the home provided
her by the young man whose ardor
won her heart and hand.
The romantic part of the wedding
added much spice to the occasion.
Courting neither parental submission
nor dissension, they abided their time
until the members of the household
were wrapped in the arms of Mor
pheus and the stars twinkled their
lights of love, and quietly quitted the
house, walked to the heme of Dr. J.
E. Leyda, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, where, at 12:30 a.
m., the words were said binding them
together as husband and wife. Too
happy to content themselves till
morning dawned, the family was
awakened, the incidents of the past
hour related, and parental blessings
crowned their cup of joy. The young
couple will be at home to their
friends in this city.
Fred Gullic, who accepted a posi
tion in Newport a few dayB ago, has
resigned his position at that place, and
returned to his first love “Dear Old
Augusta." Welcome
Augusta Free Press.
A certain Newport g
on his way home from Little Rock
the other day, met up with quite a
crowd of Galloway College girls
whose company he was evidently en
joying, when an old acquaintance
walked up and addressed him thus:
“Hello, Jim, how are your wife and
babies?” The latter’s embarrassment
is said to have been proof positive
that he was pretending to be a single
man, and if any other corroborating
evidence is needed, the doubter has it -v
in the summary manner in which he
waB dismissed by the disappointed
young ladies.
