Escape Of Judges BeEnet. and Searle
from their CaptOrs-Tkeir Ar
rival in Little Reek.
Seizure Of Baxter Arms by BrOOks's
is-RsinfOrcements for
Baxter-StiIl Terrifying.

LITTLE Rock, May s.-The two miss
ing Judges, Bennett and Searle, escaped
from their captors, in Saline county, last
night and arrived in the city to-day un-
der federal escort, which went out last
night and again this morning to look
for them.
Three judges of the supreme court
Mcclure, Stephenson anc Searle-held
meeting to-day to hea- on application
for a nlGadGBlLs to compel the State
treasurer to honor the drafts of Joseph
Brooks on the treasury as governor.
The matter was taken under advisement
until ten O'Clock tomorrow.
The session was held at the statehouse.
The constitution requires full bench to
do business. No lawyers were in attend
ance except those inside of BroOks's
line.
One hundred and sixty stands Of arms,
loaned by Governor Baxter to the In
dustrial university at Fayetteville, have
been seized by BrOOks's adherents.
Last night a party of FIVE or six Brooks
men peited the house of General A. d.
Blocber, Baxterite, on Center street,
with stones, breaking the glass ia several
windows. General Blccher was in the
Baxter camps, and his house is inside
the Brooks lines.
The measles, and it is reported the
smallpox, also, have broken out in the
Brooks camp. One lieutenant died yes
Uerday, and was buried to-day in the
statehouse grounds, with military pomp
and hOpOTs.
Baxter received one company of rein
forcements tonight. Matters are be-
coming more critical and complicated
every day. The statehouse party have
been engaged to-day in throwing up
earthworks in rear of the Benjamin
block, just opposite the ststehouse.
The same strictnesS as last night is OBJ
served in 10th camps tonight. Double
sentinels surround the Anthony house,
and it is with some difficulty that citi-
zens can pass.
The Baxter side is confident that q
quorum in each house of the general as
sembly will be present or Monday,
while the Brooks men declare that nc
quorum will meet.

bringing in the pool $40 and $50, to
Molly's s. and $50. The odds for the
fsvorite were offered freely, but taken
slowly. Owing to no start, McCOwn
ran ahead and could not be checked,
going at full tilt around the track.
Upon reaching the stand an unsuccess-
ful effort was made to stop the anrighteu
horse, which again ran around the track,
making it in 2:30. Just after passing
the half-mile post, on the third round,
the driver being exhausted, fell from his
horse, and was a little bruised. the
horse being stopped, was returned to the
stand, and President Donovan having
called in Judge Robert j. Alcorn snd
Sandy Barnes as judges, held a consult
alton, the result of which was that
McCown was 10 run the race, twenty
minutes time being allowed from the
PRONUNCIATION of the sentence. Moon
beams owner was fretted by this de-
cision, but President Donovan informed
the gentleman that this was the de-
cisioB, and had to be obeyed.
This had the effect of placing the horses
in line, and An even start was made.
Moonbeam won easily by ten lengths.

Attempt TO Wreck a Train

A dastardly attempt was made on
Saturday evening to wreck the in-com.
ing train on the St. Paul, Saltwater &
Taylor's Falls road by placing five or
six ties across the track, about six
miles from this city, at.sa point where
there are three or Jour very short
curves. The engineer fortunately OBJ.
served the obstructions, barely in time
TO avoid the collision, which might
have entailed fearful loss of life.
As soon as the train stopped, the
men in charge got off to remove the
obstructions, and observed two men
on the bank running away, but did not
dare to leave the train for fear it might
be ruse to entice them away and
permit their confederates to rob the
passengers. @
