KANSAS CRY, ARKANSAS AND GULF RAILRoAD.-Mr
J. D. Williams, President of this road, has recently
been in correspondence with DR.. T. P. Hotchkiss on
the subject Of the designs of the company which has
this line of road in hand He expresses himself salts
fed that the route a Fulton and Shreveport is the
best and says if be can make satisfactory arrange
ments he will arrange it as to push the road north
from this point to Fulton and south from Kansas City
at once In of this scheme he wishes to Sc
cure an early charter from the Louisiana Legislature
and from that of Arkansas Having the franchise from
Missouri, he is confident this will give them good
line and paying one, and should the company be
able to get State aid they would be willing to push ii
south from Shreveport. The letter thus continues
We mean to build this road and the assistance
receive along the line of route the sooner it will be
put through. We expect to put hundred miles IN
der contract soon the surveys are made on the
line between Shreveport and Fulton and thence tow
ards New Orleans or Galveston, whichever would be
the most important to your section.
The importance of this road to the future OF ShreVe-
port is almost incalculabe, and we hope Dr. Hotch-
kiss will be assisted by the citizens generally in pre-
pairing petition for charter. President Williams
says he is satisfied We can have the road from ShreTe
port Fulton and the running the coming year
but We must confess that slight damper is cast upon
these brilliant antcipations by the information that he
will bring along subscription book. If thisbring-
ing along subscription book be condition precedent
the building of the road, then fear it will be
many years before we are brought into railroad COM
munication with Fulton.

THE RIor.-on Saturday night there was small
riot in this place, to which made allusion next
day, though only slightly, could not learn much
of the particulars For several days there have been
band OF cattle drovers, from Texas, around town,
who, at night, were invariably drunk and "spoiling
for muss." They would whip out their six-shooters
on the slightest, provocation, and there
ten or twelve of them the small police force had been
powerless to arrest them. On Saturday night one of
them got into difficulty in the beer saloon on Texas
street, opposite Brewers Hail. when the whole party
commenced firing into the saloon with perfect indif-
ference whom they might hit, and one of them,
meantime, shooting himself in the knee. Strange to
say, only one of the occupants of the saloon was
struck-he receiving slight wound in the arm,-al-
though twenty shots must have been fred into it.
Mr. Sherrod, the chief of police endeavored to check
them, when they commenced an indiscrimnate shoot
ing Seeing that mild measures would not avail, Sher-
rod after sumnoning his men to bis assistance-who,
says, failed to respond-6red into the party,
first with shot gun loaded with duckshot and after
wards with one loaded with fifteen buckshot This
bad the desired effect, and stampeded the party Mr.
Sherrod, not wishing 10 kill any of them aimed low.
The following is the lis. of the wounded: Hamp
Anderson, cap Of knee broken, is in the hospital
under treatment, and also under a twelve hundred
and fifty dollar bond for his appearance Andy Carroll
is badly wounded, and in JAIL in defau of bond Bill
Anderson, Bud Dixon and Joe Parker made their
escape-the former seriously wounded. We would
here remark that Mr.. Sherrod deserves the highest
praise for his resolution in facing, almost alone such
band of desperadoes and would repeat suggestion
have before made that the police force be ncreas-
ed during the winter months.
