The Democrats Little Rock special
saws Baxter sent apologies to Col
Rose to-day disdainiDg any recogni>
ton or responsibility OF the outrage
last night, but as Col. Rose was on
the ground and witness to the affair
from the first, and as the insurgents
had given their parole of honor to
inauRurste no hostilities during the
time of the truce, it was looked upon
as q high-handed act Of treachery.
Col. Rose saw two gun shots fired
point blank at HIM, and person well
known is said to have discharged
three chambers of revolver at him.
