Dead = Arrest OF one OF

tn ing Proposed.

weare indebted to Mr.Harry Childress,
conductor on the Mississippi and Ten
nessee railroad, for the following partic-
ulars Of a most outrageous affair that oc'
cured in Yallobusha county, Miss, on
Monday:
A gentleman from Alabama, named
Burk, passed through Grenada that day,
and while paying ferriage OF the river
showed roll of bills. The money was
seen by two men known as Holmes and
Williams, who, Immediately obtaining
horses at a livery stable, started in pur-
suit Of Mr. Bdrk. They closely logged
him until he reached lonely spot near
Harvey station, eight miles north OF
Grenada, where they suddenly attacked
him with bludgeons. He fell from his
horse beneath the weight of their blows,
and when lying helpless on the ground
was beaten by the two rufians until rem
dered unconscious.
W nile their NlCtlui WAS III 'hio So"N'
ton he was robbed Of all the money in
his possession, which amounted to only
$50, and left on the road-the highway
men evidently believing him dead.
Later in the day Mr.. Burk was found
in the road utterly helpless, but conscious
In answer to questions, he narrated the
facts and gave description OF the
scoundrels who had assaulted and rob
bed him. On the following morning the
man Holmes was arrested by q soldier,
but succeeded in escaping. He was soon
afterward rearrested at Garner station,
a few miles north of Harvey station, and
taken to the latter place, where be was
identified by Mr.. Burk, and confessed
the crime. Williams was at large at last
accounts.
When the train left Harvey station
yesterday, excitement ran very high
Although conscious greater portion oil
the time, the nature Of Mr.. Burk's inju-
ries caused his case to be regarded as
extremely critical. Many favored lynch
ing the prisoner, but we have not learned

New MEMPHIS THEATER.-There is no
such thing as resisting the Black Crook,
which, now in its third week, continues
to attract as large audiences as on the
initial evenings. There was a fine
attendance last night, and everything
passed off smoothly. Mr.. ]. Brown was
substituted for the part of Rodolphe, y
and sustained the character with much
credit, frequently eliciting applause. In
consequence Mr.. Loder appeared as
"Zamiel," but having taken the part at
a moments notice, was somewhat de-
6cient in the text He is hardworking
and meritorious, and will be fully up"
tonight. Mile Franklin repeated the
Highland Fling, which she dances finely
The Crook will be repeated tonight.
Our country friends attend in large num-
hers every evening and we learn that
arrangements have been made for excur-
sion trains from points on the Memphis
