Fisher, the Outlaw.


The Mountain Echo, published at Fay
etteyille, Washington county, ARK, IN itS
edition of the 7th inst, contains the ioiIo"-
ing account: "For more than four years
the people Of Northwestern Arkansas and
Southwestern Missouri have been kept in
constant dread by the bold maraudings and
murderous exploits of John X. Fisher and
five other desperate men, whose thirst Tor
revengs for some imaginary cause on the
part of Fisher, has not been satiated, though
The lives of two score Of men have been sac
rGced by them. Large rewards for their
capture have been offered by the states Of
Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas, but from the
known desperate character OF the gang, men
have heretofore been exceedingly chary oi
making any attempt at their arrest, and rs
a last resort il was determined as matter
of public safety, to effect their extermina.
ton. To this end, Mai. II. S. Anderson, the
sheriff of Crawford county, with a posse OF
sixteen men, started in pursuit OF the out
laws on Monday last. By the exercise of q
considerable amount Of strategy, and keep.
ing their own couusels, the party ascertain.
I'd that two Of the gang had taken up quar-
ters for the night at q house occupied by the
sisters of Fisher, near Llndseys Pralre, IN
the southwest corner OF Benton county
Around this house Maj. Anderson posted
his men on Tuesday night, in order td
pounce upon their prey as they issued from
the house in the morning.
Al early dawn, as was anticipated, the
two outlaws who proved to be Coleman and
Edmuston, came out Of tho house, when n
demand was made upon them to surrender
Edmustou sought to effect his escape V,
taking 10 his heels, but had scarcely got Eft
feet from the house when he fell riddIed wi,
bullets. Coleman fought with absolute de
poraton. He emptied all his pistols, thre
in number, and in retreating across th
creek dropped his gun in the water, thereb
rendering himself completely hors du con
6at. He, however, still fought, using hi
gun, until well directed bullet from tn
pistol of young Brotherson, one Of Maj. An
derson's party, struck him at or near th'
spine, sending him to grass instantly.
The bodies were taken to the house ant
respectfully dressed aud laid out when Ma
jor Anderson and party left il! pursuit of th'
remainder the gang
We trust soon to be able to record the eX
tnction Of the remnant of these desperat
outlaws and that the community so lonj
awed by their depredations, may realize
sense of security from further depreciation
