,UssEILyIILE DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1875.

Taken completely by surprise by the quickness and keen precep- tion of the officers, the young viii lain could do nothing but surren- der and shuck off his six shooter.
 By this time crowd had gath cred around and the youngster was recognized by Dr. W. H. Hill and others as one John Litten, q notorious young horse thief, who some four or five weeks ago had stolen a horse down about Little Rock, and been pursued through this place. Without further eer- emony the young scamp was lock ed up in the calaboose, where he had remained but about an honr, until Mir. Jno. Young and Dep'ty Marshal Basey arrived in town from Dover, making inquiry for him and the mule he rode to town, which it seems he had stolen from a farmer over in Newton or Boone county. Mule and thief were soon on their way to Dover, where the mule was turned over to the owner, who had followed him that far, and the thief to sheriff Petty, who will take good care of hlln until he is dealt with according to law.
 This same Litten, we under stand, was sent to the penitentiary two years ago from this county for assault with intent to kill on a negro down about Galla Rock.
 Messrs. Luker and Quinn de- serve much credit for quick pre- ception and promptness displayed in the capture of this notorious character.

 tured.

On last Friday morning as off cers Quinn and C. C. Luker were standing in front of Russells store on Main street, a young fellow on small black mule, sad dleless, and almost bridieless, rode up to the rack and was about to dismount, when the officers above named with quick precep tion noticed that he was suspi- cious looking character and car ried a six-shooter slung around his body. In the twinklIng of an eye, siX-shooter, in the hands of the officers, was brought to bear on him on either side, and he was informed that the laws of Arkan- sas did not permit the perambu- lation of travelling armories, and moreover that they (the ollicers) knew him and wanted him any how.

The Editorial Excursion

Last Saturday, in accordance with previous notice, brought the editorial excursionists-about if ty in number. We had calcula- ted upon joining the excursion at this point but were prohibited by circumstances beyond our control. We know we missed good time, and what we regretted more we missed making the acquaintance of our visiting brother quill-driv- CTS. We had the pleasure, how ever, of meeting them for few moments at the depot as they re- turned and became acquainted with several. We trust all enjoy ed their visit to our state and their run up our way and that they may be returned in safety to their respective homes.
 In this connection, we must tender our thanks to the gentle manly, clever and efficient Sup't of the Ft. Smith road--Mr. Theo. Hartman-for kind and cordial invitation to join the excursion.
