JACK FHORNE. Career of a ‘‘Swamp Angel” in} Arkansas. HE KILLED FOUR MEN. | Lived for Years in Defiance of the Law— | Lorded It Over His Employers, a | Hanting Club—An Officer's Ballet Pierces His Brain on His Refusing the Trons. Memrnts, Ten “the swamp angel ty, Ark., is no more. He feli to the aim of a deputy sheriff it in for him” on account of an old score [is death will giv as did that of his predecessor in swamp angel line, Martin Mite who was, up to his taking off se ven years ago, the terror of the St. Franci county swamps. Mitchell had a record | of nine funerals. ‘Thorne had only four, | but he was ambitious and would have added to his string Ifad he lasted a whi! longer. For years the St. Francis county au- thorities have wanted Thorne, but not} 1 enough to go down and look for im in that part of the Arkansas wilder- ness, significantly designated as ““Twen- ty Miles East of the Law.” After disposing of his fourth man, Thorne took the name of Smith, as more conducive to concealment, and under tnat name, about a year ago, he en- gaged himself to the Blackfish Hunting and Fishing club of this city to take charge of their fine clubhouse, situated | on Blackfish lake, miles west of Memphis, in St. Francis county. The club men knew nothing of hi but they were not long in finding out that Thorne owned the clubhouse, their naphtha launch in the lake and everything else around. He gave or- ders that not more than two of them should come there at a time, and that they should take just what he might choose to give them, and say nothing rude about it. They rebelled, he un- folded to them his story, and they sub- mitted. But after enduring his tyranny for a month or two, it occurred to them to inform the St. Francis county authori- ties of Thorne’s whereabouts. Deputy Sheriff Dye and another officer were sent out with a warrant for Thorne’s arrest on the old charge of murder. They knew their man and went heavily armed. Arriving in the vicinity of the clubhouse they suddenly found them- selves covered with a double-barreled gun, with the “Swamp Angel” attached to the business end. He order them to “drap them weepins.” They obeyed perforce. He threw the guns into the lake and then invited them up to the clubhouse. There he feasted eeu on all the de! ties of the ally packed them off, with instructions to stay away in the future. After this he remained in undisturbed possession of the house, ruled the elub- men with a rod of iron, and enjoyed himself generally. But recently he grew tired of this peaceful life and pro- posed to the clubmen that if they would buy his old traps and pigs at war prices he would go away and vex them no more. They were only too glad to be rid of him on such terms, so last Mon- day they paid him off and he left, going to Earl, a station on the Memphis & Little Rock road, about thirty-five miles west of Memphis. The state au- thorities were notified and Warden Dyer of the penitentiary set on foot measures to capture the Angel. The terms with him and induced him to accompany Oct. 7. of St. Fran 10 “hd record, yesterday them to Earl, where they were met by Deputy Sheriff Frank Williams, who undertook to arrest the ex-convict. The Angel resisted and made such a fight that before they could get the irons in position a bullet from the offi- eer’s pistol pierced his brain. Thorne was of a good family, but he went wrong and soon landed in the peniten- tiary. His frequent escapes were mi- raculous, and once in the cane-brakes he defied arrest and was more dange ous than the bears that made the’ home with him. Died of Hydrophobis Wicuira, Kan., Oct. 7. Hf. Shively died here last evening from hydropho- bia. The agony of his last hours was terrible. The deceased wasa prominent farmer of this county and republican candidate for the state le ature. About a month agoa number of his horses, cows and hogs were bitten by his own dog, and while attempting to kill the brute Shively himself was bit- ten in the side.
