From ,hs Fort Smith Herald. June lstt.1
We learn from Mr.. Thomas T. Brown, ,,og
Washington County, who was in: town last
week, that on Saturday, the I'd inst, a man
arrived in Fayetteville in the stage, and IN.
formed the SbcsiH, aud two other PERSONS,
that there were four men. who would be in.
town shortly; from Missouri, Who had killed
an old man, robbed store and git Gerry; and:
that be had raised 4 company and pursued:
them, but falling to oveEtake them. he had
taken the stage and come On ahead. Pretty.
soon the tnur c1en rode Into town, got ott
their horses, hltched them, and one went into
the store OF Alr. Stone, and the three others
went into groccrY to take drink. Bef,re
t4ey Ind time to take a drink, the" SheriG,
Clerk OF the Court, Mr. Reed, Mr.. Wing,
Postmaster, and COL Gnnter, went INTO the
grocery to arrest them. Mr. Wing said to
them, gent1emen, you may consider your
,salyes prisoners. With that one Of tho
m:n called out to- the others to "shuck
themselves" and with that each Of them
drew two revolyerst and commenced firing.
AIR, Wing, the Postmaster, was shot dead,
and the man who came In pursuit was shot
under the chin. In the throat. and be died in
. few minutes aud Colonel Gunter was shot
In he arm, shatterfBg the bone. The three
men retTeated out 'of the door. still firing as
they went ont and by this time the cislzcos
had collected, and an attempt was made to
arrest the desperadoes. but, rs they were
armed, and most. Of: the citizens wera not,
theyail made their escape. A posse Of men
Immediately started: in pursuit Of thsm-
TheY found one of: the men sitting 1eun1ug
agafost a tree, having been shot through the
abdomen. The party told him they would
briuee him an ambulance aud take him to
town. but when they returned they found him
dead, ,.he having cnt his throat and stabbed
himself IN several places The other three
men were heard Of In the ueighhnrhoed Of
Elm Spring, one being badly wounded in the
knee. Our Informant did not state who shot
these desperadoes, but we presume some Of
the party must haro been armed. and fred on
them, or perhaps some Of the citizens fred as
they S7cre retreating.
Col-Guuter's arm il shattered above the
elbow, and, It Ii thought, Will have to be

Aoodey dissenting, We publish elsewhere
the opinion Of the Court, AZ delivered by
JudEe Reber, and commend It to the careful
attention Of our readers II is lmpreznable
In lis positions and seasonipgs. aud the doci-
sion of tho Court VIII never 30 ovsrrulel.
This suit MAS brought by Blair against the
defendants, to recover afO,000 damages, for
their refusal, a. Judges OF election. to receive
his vote, last November, because be refused
to take the oath Of loyalty, which tho Con-
stitution requires every voter to take, In or
dtmurred to the plaintiff 3 petition. on The
ground that, BY his own showing, he vas not
entitled to vote, because be refused to take
that cnth. The question presented to the
Court wna, whether the people, In framing
their Constif ution, had right to require
citizen to take 1t, as condition precedent to
his votIrg. This question was argued beforo
April list, By s. T. Glover aud T. 7. CAN'T
for the plaintiff. and C. D. Drake for the de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. Drake's argument In the case
was published in our columns Immediately
after It's delivery. The Court, after more
than two months deliberation, has dccldcd
against B1aIr.
This Is the arst aud only case in which the
questioned the voters oath has been involved.
As was coucluslvely shown BY Mr. Drake IN
his Hillsb0ro SPEECH, that question WAS not
at all involved Ia the cases Of Cummings
and Garcschc, argued last winter before tho
Supreme Court Of the United States; aud tho
letter of Governor KR1ner, Of Illinois, In an-
other column, puts 3 complete quictus to all
The contrary stories which have Of late been
circulated Ia this State. 80 far, therefore,
m judicial decision Is concerned, that OF
the Circuit Court now pnblished, Is the ouIy
one that has a. Jet been given. 1t eustains
fully the provisions Of our Constitution. re-
quifhng voters to take the oath Of loyalty,
md it will not be reversed, either BY the su-
prcme Court of this State, Or by that Of tho
United States.
