Fort SinTii, Ark., June 6. Shortly after 9 o'clock last night, on South Sixth street, Mrs. Pagan Bourlnnd shot twice and fattilly wounded Maude Allen, and ihuu fired unoii bt r own husband. J he shooting was the result of au in trigue of long standing between Bourland and the Allen woman, and haa not been unexpected, in view of less serious diuicultics that bave oc curred from time to time. Bourland, is quite wealthy, and his wife is a most estimable lady and a leader in local Bociety. She has not been arrested and probably will not be. Three shots were lirtd, one taking effect in the Allen woman s left breast and one alongside tbe head. The last shot struck a rock and founded against Bourland's leg. Mrs. Bourland disguised herself by h'ackening her face in order that she might come upon the couple un awares. It is thought tbe Allen woman will not live.

By her will the college was to share certain proceeds of her estate. It will be remembered that there were certain mysteries about her death and also complications about her will that invited litiga tion. By compromise, which is so much more desirable, the college realized $300 from what might have been more if deplorable intricacies had not arisen. Killed by the YeaCitmlit. Fireman Hicks, of southbound freight train No, 43, was killed by the vestibule train about 11 o'clock last Tuesday night at Morehead, the first station north of Greensboro.

At a meeting of the stockholders of the recently organized company at Albemarle to build a cotton fac tory at that place, Mr. J W Cannon served notice on Saturday, May 30th, that after considering the matter, he had di' covered that it would be impossible for him to scrvjas president, and withdrew from the company. So occupied is his time in other business affairs Mr. Cannon stated that he could not give tho proposed mill at Albe marle tho attention required on ao count of inconvenient transporta tion from and to this place and that as a matter of justico to tbe com pany he advised the election of an other man for president. It is said that Mr. Cannon's no tice of inability to sere the com pany has knocked the props from tbe enterprise and that the build ing of tho factory is a dead isiue.
