I effected, after the first named had

I One of the negroes receive^ a

hther was shot through the upper
Rbould-r, the bullet passing through
the fleshy part of the neck, and out
under the right side of the jaw Both

About 5:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Ben Bunch shot and Instantly
killed Toni Shavers, porter in Spur
lin's saloon, near Kim and Orange
6treetti. The shooting, according to a
statement made by Bunch after being
arrested, was the lesulf of Shavers
striking him over the head with a
pistol earlier in the evening.
Bunch returned to the saloon just
about dajdjgh* with a shot gun and a
^ Winchester rifle, and opened Are with
Hh the. shot gun at Shavers, but missing
■ him, used the \Vinch<‘«ter, filing two
■ bullets into the boilv of Shaver, fit hoi
HH of which would have proved fatal.
Hf Immediately af er the shooting Ben
S Bunch escaped. It appears he joined

Deputy Sid Houpt and Deputy Ben
I Murray were soon after the fleeing
' negroes, and abou; i t milt's from tne
■ city, after a long rlia-e, got within
obout. 10ft yards of them in the road.
The negroes saw the official's and took
to the rough woods.
Dismounting, the officers went In
pursuit, and the next they saw of the
i ao blacks they were standing with
their heads together evidently plan
ning an a’lack, their coots held l>e
Iween therusolve* and "he officers in
hiding something they held.
The officers kept on after the
blacks, and they fled instead of open
ing the fire the officers expected. The

ally the officers wore in close range,
though the country was mountainous
and the negroes taking the roughest
part of It for their path.
ft was then that ljoth of the of

haring orde.ted them to halt Each
officer shot one of the negroes once,
saw they had each wounded their man
so that capture alive could be effect

down.
* Deputy Constable Houpi came on to

met the officers retiv: nlng with the
wounded men.
The negroes were placed in the
county jail after Deceiving medical at
tention.
In the afternoon an inquest was
■held over the body of Tom Shavers,
negroes being on the jury, which
agree,! that he had met death at the
binds of Ben Bunch, and the jury ver
dict recommended that Bunch be held

would have to fight or 'run, decided on
tier latter, and when they got further
away abandoned their pistols, as they
did Choir coats and hats in the final
effort to remain out of range of the
officers and get away.
I>r- A. D. Shaw attended the
wounded men.
Sentiment among the negroes of
the city Is strong .against the Bunch
negro who killed' Shavers. The latter
was said to have been peaceable and
Industrious, and the Story about his
having attacked Btuich with a pistol

every assurance of Its positive suc
cess, and especial effort is being made
by its directorate and management to
make the closing days so eventful as
to attract even a larger attendance

exposition.
The Arkansas Travelers arrived
yesterday morning from all over the
stale on special and excursion trains,
and were personally welcomed to the
city at tpe Arlington by President
Waters of the Stale Fair.

present, including: Ben Sanford,
president; Guy letter, secretary; J
u- Hearst. treasurer: t. t- wen, s«

INSPECTORS
iON ALL TRAINS
I
i UNITED STATES PUTS INTO EF
FECT NEW RULES TO CRUSH
OUT DRUMMING EVIL.
i Supt- Harry Meyers Returns From
Visit to Washington With Happy
Message to the Future of the
City.
Superintendent of the Reservation
Harry H. Meyers returned from
Washington last night more fully
equipped M advance agent for a great
ei Hot. Springs than any resort the
j world1 ever knew, than ever any form
' er officer of the United States ever re
'ceived at this itost.
I HU message Is brief, yet if is long,
' it Is drastic, yet it is 'the tearing
down that makes sound the founda
tion fo a greater structure, and it
carries with It the sound endorsement
1 of a government that does things
1 when it takas a notion
j Probably the most ai-onlshing an
nouncement Supt. Meyers makes is
that in the future- no person will he
house on or off the reservation, using
he hot waters, who stops at any
boarding house, rooming house, or
hotel, which has any drummer or so
- licitor on the trains, or has an •'inside
man" or any person about tire prem
ises who drums or solicits for any
physician or bath house.
This rule of itself would be of Little
avail without accompanlng rules,
which follow to the effect that every
bath house which uses -the hot waters
of this resort must make a dally re
port of every person who bathes with
them, giving the local and home ad
dress of every person. This list, must
he filed daily with the superintendent
of tile reservation.
That the visitor might liave ample
opportunity to be guarded against
getting into any boarding house which
drums, the United States will aftor
the loth of this month have full uni
4-rrmcd Ins-pectoiu, representing the
United States government, on all in
coming trains, to announce the rale
regarding stopping at boatding Ilduses
or hotels which have solicitors on
trains or elsewhere, so that in the
initial work of the drummer the pus
Wenger can guard himself if he tie
-siies to do so. This announcement
is -to be made clear in every passen
ger car coming to the city.
An important new rule to physi
cians is that no attendant at any bath
house will l>e permitted to rub mer
cury, or will be permitted to give lu
st'uctions or suggestions as to bath
ing, nor will -they be permitted to vary
from the instructions by the physi
clan, and If they do they will be ban
| ished from the service forever. Physi
I' vivimw ti-u.» t luiij, nmvr Minim 'LUVir ui*
notions being varied' from by sug
gestive negro attendants, who inter
j ferv?d with their scientific direction
■of the hot waters.
These things regarding drumming
are piobably of most interest to nianv
I Iwcause of the agitation of the fight
[ recently, but here Is the real genuine
part of his message that shows the
good faith of the government in its
steps towards making this resort
greater than the resort of any other
nation in the world.
One hundred Tungsten lights of
high irower are to be placed on Hoi
Springs mountain, ilhimina' :ng that
whole affair into a great thing of
beauty. These lights are to 'be burn
led all night.
A mounted ijiolice is to be put in
charge of this mountain, from 6 to
midnight in the evening, and from 6
to 8 o'clock in the morning, which
will give full protection to pedestrians
and others who may care to visit
this point of bealt.v
At the summit of this mountain i,
great fountain is to be built where
the water from the hot spring*, eool
’ ed to pleasant drinkiug usage, will
flow every day for the benefit of
f . , ,:iv V . . t
Mam / \
those who desire a codling draught
when they .-each 'that summit
Toilets are also to be constructed
all over this mountain for the con
venience of the public.
A "white wing” brigade is to he
put at woi a on thie reservation front,
a new soli is to be laid there, and
■ he shrubbery and new flowers to he
put in will make this front a pictures
yue plaoe beyond any former at
tempts.. It will also be kept to a
perfect, sanitary condition, which is
an important point.
The drives along all the mountain
sides are to be decollated with shrub
bery and with flowers and made ar
tistic and ipleaslng to sight as well
as even for riding, walking or driv
ing
Two extra police are lo he added
to the regular patiol service of the
reservation front, and these will be
keiM fully uniformed and will have
new rules to govern them.
Another important matter is that
in 'the future the leases made by the
Movarnmen'ti will be determined1 by
the character of bath houses, the past
lessee has conducted, and no leases
will be renewed to any bath house to
exceed the time the house will be pro
perly equipped to care for bathers
properly.
Modern and high class service for
bathers will be exacted by the gov
ernment of all le.-ees, and the persons
who except to hold these concessions
must spend money in improvement
that will make this the greatest bath
ing flace in the world or they will
not have their leases renewed.
In brief Uncle Sam Is now recogulz
ing Hot Springs as its greatest resort,
and is going to take a hand and make
it exoell all the Carlsbuds or Iladen
Badens ever dreamed of, and It will
use its strong arm to make this con
dition exist just as 'soon as possible.
The citizens will he asked to co
operate in this movement, and the aid
of the city government will also he
solicited, but Uncle Sam has taken
the initiative through Superintendent
Meyers and will carry on the work
tea rdless of all obstacles.
The matf© r intimidating witness
es was takeu up, andj Mr Meyers has
authority to say that this wtH not be
permitted if it takes every soldier In
the United States army to protect
those who have or believe they have
a grievance, and might make the
grievance known to the superintend
ent.

Series For the Baseball Championship
of the World Is Evened Up When
Donovan Proves Better Than
Camnitz.
Pittsburg, Pa , Oct. 9.—The Ameri
can League champions from Detroit
! evened rhe count in the world's chain
pionsh'.p series today toy defeating
Pittsburf T to 2 at Forbes Field to
day. As Pittsburg won the opening
game each team now has one victory
to its credit, and at least five contests
ill all will be necessary before tho
series is decided.
Detroit's ability to hk the National
Dengue pitchers and Pittsburg's in
ability to connect with the curves of
j "Wild Bill" Donovan, tells the story
i of the game.
Pittsburg got away to a flying start,
scoring two runs In the first Inning,
but Detroit tied the score In the sec
ond.
Tlie American Leaguers batted
Howard Camnitz out of the box in the
third inning, when they took a com
manding lead by scorrlng three runs.
Vic Willis succeeded CiuiiniJ* and two
more runs from his offerings in the /
fifth inning gave Detroit its totlil of
seven runs.
Detroit made nine safe lilts from
the combined curves of Camnltn and
Willis, getting dx from the former
I in 2 1-3 innings and 3 from Willis
during the remainder <if the game
The Detroit hitting total included two
baggers toy Schmidt and Crawford
Donovan allowed only five hits and
two of those were two baggers by
Leach and Ml lie,' in the first inning.
After that the Detroit twlrlcr was an
enigma to his opponents and another
two bagger by Leach in the third, a
single by Abstein In the fourth and
ar. infield hit by aWgner In the ninth
it pre-eutod the Pittsburg bitting dur
ing the lust eight innings.
Only sixteen batters faced Donovan
in the last, five innings, and tjie strp

I Ihiring the last fourinulngs, WHHs

| only twelve Mien faced him In that
time. Two men reached' first in that

and the other ‘was doubled.
The most sensational feature of Jj
tile game which was witnessed by ,
more than 30.000 spectators, »ns a
