ROBERTSON’S SLAYER
IS CAPTURED.
Helena. May 24.—Sheriff F. F.
Kitchens this morning returned
from Rosedale, Miss., bringing
with him a negro, Will Jones,
who in February last murdered
A. W. Robertson, a white man,
on Island 66, and who has been a
fugitive from justice ever since.
' ~ The sheriff had been on the look
out for Jones ever since his
escape from the island after the
commission of the crime and sev
eral times the negro was thought
to have been located. On Friday
he was notified by the officials at
Rosedale that his man was there,
. ... and after telegraphing to arrest
the negro, went to that city after
fiis prisoner. There is little doubt
.that the murderer will pay the
death penalty, as the crime was
cold-blooded. The victim of the
crime for which Jones must
. answer was manager of a saw
> mill on the island and is reputed
to have been a peaceable man.

LETTER TO MR. T. J. GRA
HAM, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: Pay more for De
uoe; be glad to. It is full-meas
ure and honest.
Paint is a watch-dog. How
would you like a watch-dog that
wouldn’t watch from two to five
o’clock in the morning? That’s
short-measure.
How would you like a watch
dog that had a way of wagging
his tail at a burglar? That’s
false paint. The burglar is rain
and snow.
Go by the name: Devoe lead
and-zinc.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
96 New York and Chicago.

difference of price in the constan
