Hotel Man Had To Leave.
Wynne, Sept. 17.—Because
his hotel furnished supper to
about 1,000 negroes, en route to
a Baptist convention in Nash
ville, Tennessee, Manager C.
H. Dickey of a well known ho
tel of Wynhe has ceased to
make Wynne his place of resi
dpnrp Mr Dipkpv dpridprl to
leave Wynne after he had been
advised by a committee of citi
zens that there were other com
munities where his presence
might be more desired. Mr.
Dickey left at an early hour this
ntorning.
The negroes arrived last night
on a special train, and alighting
at the station where the hotel
is located, crowded into the din
ing room of the hotel. This ho
tel has white girl waiters, who
were forced to wait on the ne
groes, and this soon led to many
murmurs of complaint. A meet
ing was held, and a committee
named to advise Mr. Dickey of
the wrath of the citizens and
their desire that he leave Wynne
on the first train.

active campaign that can be
made.

A
Woman In Jail;Dog Is Compan
ion.
Des Arc, Sept. 17.—Belle De
Lanev, arrested in Hot Springs
by Sheriff A. V. Harris of Prai
rie county and Patrolman L.
K. Whitlock of Little Rock, as
a suspect in connection with
the murder of John Howard,
whose chain-bound body was
discovered in White river last
Friday, is sharing her cell in
the county jail here with her
pet dog, “Topsy”, and she in
sists upon the canine receiving
an equal portion of food. She
is not permitted to see visitors,
although the jail is besieged
with the curious.
Sheriff Harris has been unable
to locate a man known to have
been near the houseboat when
Howard was murdered, but is
quietly working on several clues
said to have been given him by
the woman, and says he will
make other arrests soon. Two
persons, besides the DeLaney
woman, are believed to have
been present when Howard was
murdered. Both have disap
peared.
Authorities here believe the
rriurder was committed three
weeks ago. on the day after
Howard was murdered, but is
as a tie cutter for J. P. Catlett.
Three Form Pact to Die.
Glen wood, Sept. 17.—“There
is no use asking questions. The
bottle on the dresser will tell
how it happened. We are tired
of living and all wanted to go to
gether. We’re dressed for bur
ial. You can find enough money
in the dresser drawer to give us
a cheap burial ”
This was the note found this
afternoon beside the lifeless
bodies of Mrs- 0. Turner, a Miss
Carter and the unconscious
form of T. J. Turner, a local real
estate man. The discovery was
made by J. D. Ferrell. When
Mr. Ferrell entered the Turner
home Mrs. Turner was dead and
the girl in a dying condition.
She gasped her last before phy
sicians arrived. Turner was un
conscious^ but revived for a
short tinla.
“The^irl has an incurable
disease. The old lady is stout
and I am all broken down. We
are tired of living.”
This and no more would he
tell of the cause of the suicide
pact. Physicians doubt his re
covery.
But little is known of the Tur
ner family, as they moved into
this section but a few months
ago. The Carter girl was living
with Turner and his wife, it is
said, having come here with
them from Holly Springs- It is
said the Turners are natives ot
Massachusetts.
Apparently believing that
they would be dead when dis
covered, each had carefully pre
pared for burial. Each had
donned neat black garments
and after Turner had written
the letter each had apparently
in turn, laid upon the floor and
drunk a part of the contents of
the bottle of poison, which was
found empty upon the dresser.
