REDPoPp. IND. Feb. 4.-George Bacntel
and Arthur Bissot, the murderers OF George
G. Carney, were arrested at Olney, H. on the
I'd inst. In making the arrests the marshal
of Olney and Cincinnati drummer came
very near losing their lives. Bacntei' VINO
L. 3 desperate character, shot four times ~
the srnarshal and twice at the drummer
before he would surrender. BIssot surren-
de-ed without showing fight. They were
securely bound and brought to Mitchell last
NIGHT by the deputy sheriff with a posse OF
men brought here. They were received
at the depot by about four hundred men,
bows. women, etc., all anxious to see the
bloody demons, but am glad to say that
there was no disposition what
ever manifested toward lynching.
They we're taken before Esquire Rector and,
waving preliminary examination, were
then conducted to Jail to await the action OF
the grand jury, which does not convene IN
til May next. / have been told by those
who had them in charge that they do not
deny the killing of Carney. The verdict
before the coroner's jury was that they con-
fessed 70 four different persons the killing.
BachteI is one of the worst men that has
ever lived ia this county. He is noted
robber and desperate, but this is the first
time he has ever keen accused OF the terrible
crime of murder. Bissot is mere boy and
an industrious, hardworking lad, but fol-
some time he has been a boon companion o.
Bachtel's, and has doubtless been with hin
In some of his former robberies. There
is full determination on the part of tht
citizens TO have dealt to these young men th'
full plenty OF tho law executed by court
justice, but from all that can learn from
cOnferring with the citizens, there is nc
danger whatever of mob's lynching them
Ell am satisfied that the citizens her
would turn out en- masse Il
protect them from mob. Thes
people ask for justice through the law
and will have it in legal and no other way
Mr.. Carney our murdered night watch, was
gentleman and an honest and faithful ser
want of the people. He was shot dow
while in the line of duty, but his friend
and all the citizens ask only that the jus
penalty OF the law may be executed agains
his murderers. TIE excitement is now al
over and Bedford is as quiet a town as ther
Is in Indiana Bachtel is cross and refuse
to talk, but Bissot is usual, smiling an
very cheerful, to all appearance.

had offered 10 erect n bridge Tor that
amount of money, and had agreed to give
sufficient bond to that effect,
Mr.. Blair spoke warmly in favor OF
the bridge, which he declared ought to be
built for the accommodation Of the lot
holders in the cemetery, as well Us the
citizens generally. The matter was one
Of public interest, and not sectional dis
pute. II the bridge should cost double the
amount stated in the report Of the COM
mittcc, he would still be in favor Of it.

ted in by Messrs. Stone, Schambra, Eyer
