Wm. Brachard, living seven |
miles southwest of Poplar Bluff,

getting shot.

I It is estimated that the dump
of the North Star mine, three
miles below Harrison, contains
at least one hundred tons of free
zinc ore. At the current price:
of $60 per ton, this is certainly
worth looking after. A local
miner figures that the ore laying
around prospect holes in Boone
county alone would bring $50, -

of thousands of dollars and that
range cattle wili not recover in

John Carter Expiates His Crime
on Gallows at Marianna
I
for Murder.
_ 1
Marianna, Feb. 7.—John Car
ter, a negro, was hanged here
this morning for the murder of
James Woods, a white man. ,
The difficulty which ended in
in murder resulted from trouble
over a game of craps played at a
boat landing in the eastern edge
of the county, near Walnut Bend
about fourteen months ago.
The condemned man was first
sentenced for execution on June
10, 1904, but the case was ap
pealed to the supreme court,
which affirmed the decision of
the lower court, and Governor
Davis set the date for execution ;
at February 7.
The trap was sprung at 10:26,1
and death resulted in fourteen
minutes.
The execution was private, no
persons being present but official,
doctors and newspaper men.
This execution is the eighth in
I the history of Lee county since
11873. _____
