She was characterized as an affectionate wife and tender mother, and departed this life in firm reliance upon Divine Providence in the hope of a blessed immortality to come.

07/18/1832 MOUNTED RANGERS
We insert on our first page, the act authorizing the raising of 600 Mounted Rangers, to be employed in the defence of the frontiers; and by reference to a subsequent column, it will be seen, that Mr. Jesse Bean, of Independence County, is authorized to raise one of the Companies, to consist of 100 men, in Arkansas, within 30 days from the receipt of his orders and that he is to have the command of them, and the selection of his subaltern officers. The time allowed for raising the Company we think too short, for a country where the population is so sparse as it is in Arkansas, though we have no doubt the number of men required can be raised within the time specified. But if 30 or 29 days have been allowed, for making enlistments from among the hunters on the western borders of the Territory, a much more efficient company of experienced woods-men would have offered their services than can be obtained in the short period of 30 days. In the selection of a Commander of the Arkansas corps, we think the President has been quite fortunate. A more experienced woods-man, or one better acquainted with the Indian mode of fighting can hardly be found in any country, than Capt. Bean. He took a gallant part in most of the principal engagements at New Orleans, while the city was invested by the British Army in 1814-1815, and was with Gen. Jackson in some of the subsequent Indian wars in Florida, where he commanded a company of Spies, and rendered support services for which he was highly complimented by the Commanding General.

 
07/18/1832 MURDER - The following particulars of a murder recently committed in Crawford County have been communicated to us by a highly respectable citizen of that county, with a view in their publications, and in the hope that it may lead to the apprehension of the murderer.

On the evening of the 3d inst. (July) two brothers-in-law, one by the name of William Coy, the other Thomas Duty, fell out, while on their way from Fort Smith down to James Price's on the Vashgrass, where their wives were residing, with their uncle - when Duty raised a rifle which he was carrying, and shot Coy through the arm and lodged the charge in his body. He ran 200 to 250 yards before he fell. Duty's wife say her husband told her that, when he came up to Coy, he raised him up, when Coy asked him for some water, and told him if he ever got well he would kill him; at which Duty drew his knife and stabbed him near the place where he was wounded, and then left him.

They are both strangers, and all lately from Conway county, where they married two sisters. Duty, I understand, was raised in Tennessee, where he may possible shape his course. He is about 30 years of age, 6 feet 9 or 10 inches high, spare made, fair complexion and hair, blue eyes, says he is a blacksmith, is ingenious and very talkative. His clothing consisted of a blue jeans frock coat, two pair copperas striped pantaloons, blue vest, with small white stripes, white half-worn hat with green underneath the brim. His clothes were tied up in a yellowish handkerchief, having on it a picture of a large horse, with an officer mounted on him, and attended by a soldier with his guns and bayonet. He has taken his rifle with him. It has a walnut stock with a silver star and thumb piece on the breech.

The sum of $50 or $60 have been subscribed for his apprehension, by several of the citizens of this county, who appear to be greatly exasperated against him.
