OF NEGRO GROUP
Leader of Movement Arrested
Probe by 'Authorities;'

r: Uprising.
Helena.. ArkJ Oct. 3.-While the
situation in Helena is almost normal
tonight and virtually- calm prevails
in the southern part of the county,
which has been practically a sone
of negro insurrection since Tues
day night, sporadic clashes' have
taken place in the last ,24 hours.
Three negroes are reported to
have been killed today, in' addition
to two killed by soldiers near
Elaine last night. Another negro
is reported to have been wounded
by machine gun fire. Rounding up
of negroes by the federal troops
sent into the section continues.
Investigation of the disorders was
begun by a "committee of seven"
appointed by the civil authorities of
the county with the- approval of
Goy. Charles ' Brough. . The com
mittee is working in co-operation
with . the military ' authorities and
will take -testimony from negroes
as well as white persons. ,
Among the , negroes arrested at
Elaine was . one identified as Ed.
Hicks, alleged to have been a leader
in the movement to rise against the
white residents. ' The alleged head
of the disaffected negroes has -not
been captured, according to word
reaching here, but his description
has been sent broadcast, his name
being given, as . "Hill" or "Hall."
His home is said to be at' Winches
ter Drew county, to the southwes.t
of the scene of the racial troubles
in this county, j' 4 ';
Evidence accumulates that the
racial troubles of the last few
day were due to carefully planned
uprising on the part of a certain
class of negroes, which was re
vealed prematurely by the killing of
Deputy Sheriff W. A. Adkins. and
the wounding of Deputy Sheriff;
Pratt from ambush at Hoop Spur
Tuesday night.
A large number of rifles, shot
guns and pistols in possession of
negroes have been confiscated and
27 similar rifles with a large quan
tity of ammunition in cases were
seized in the building occupied by
the four Johnson brothers, who
were killed yesterday. The rifles
and ammunition were purchased
outside Helena, it developed.
The suspicions of the negroes ap
parently proved their undoing, for

County Attorney Shotwell said yes
terday that he will file no complaints
at present against the men arrested
and being held without bai' for com
plicity in-.the rioting Sunday night.
.these men are being iieia Dy tne
military authorities and held with
out bail, so-there is no necessity for
filing complaints immediately,', he
said. "If the military, authorities
will hold them without bail until
thegrand jury convenes next Wed

to the grand jury and let that body

Persons who, n the excitement
of Sunday night, posed for photo
graphs at the scene of the burning
of 'the negro's body, at the court
house and other places, may have
reason to regret it. These photo
graphs are forming important means
of identifying rioters.
County Attorney hotwell yester
day! received a very good newspaper
cut taken from a Chicago paper. It
is a full page in width and every
face on it is easily recognizable.
Many other photographs have
been received by the office in the
city hall which is a clearing house
for riot information.
Sheriff Clark yesterday received
numbers of several automobiles
and motorcycles which were prom
inent in the riot activities.
Telephone calls, letters, informa
tion (oven by people who call at
the offices of the sheriff, county at
torney and police are forming a net
work of evidence which is slowly
but surely enmeshing many of those
who led in the riots.
Some of the rioters, fearing ar
rest, have fled from the city. The
youth who cut a spectacular figure
riding a horse, early in the riot,
has fled to Iowa.. His father called
pn Sheriff Clark and County At
torney Shotwell yesterday to de
termine what is best for him to do.
He was informed that his best and
safest course is to get his son back
to Omaha and surrender him to the
authorities without delay.
The 54 riot prisoners now con
fined in the county jail are finding
the aftermath of riot unpleasant.
Nethaway Demands Release.
Claude L1. Nethaway, Who was a
prominent figure in the iot and is
now a county jail prisoner, wrote a
note Thursday to the county attor
ney demanding that he be released
from jail. He also wrote a note to
his lawyer, demanding that habeas
corpus proceedings be instituted.
"Get me out of this hell-hole,"
said the' note. "I am in here with
all kinds of persons. It is hell, i
