A RUMOR prevailed on the streets last
pil.ht that a negro had been killed at
Holly Springs by a leading white politi-
clan. who had been interrupted and in
suited by him while speaking. We need
not say that such a tumor created the
greatest alarm among Mississippiaus
now here, fearing the result Of such ca
tsstrophe upon the pending elections.
But We are glad to say that inquiry by
telegraph brought us the gratifying in
teIigence that no such affair had oc-
cured. Peace reigns iulHoly Springs.

ARRESTS.

DUQUOIN, August IS-The latest
news rom the seat OF war in Franklin
county was brought in by hack driver,
who arrived here from Benton this ef-
ternoOn. Two arrests have been made
since the hight of night before last. The
names Of the parties arrested are Gideon
Cantrell and Aaron Neil. Both men live
il Franklin county, in the vicinity OF
Benton. Suspicion was first aroused
which led to the arrest of CantrelI by
attention being attracted by parties GO
ing to and from his house, carrying ice,
and by seeing the doctor visit his resi-
dence, These facts were made known
to the officials, who, upon entering his
house, found Cantrell in bed, seriously,
If not mOrtaily, wounded. The wounds
no douOt are the fruits OF his last en-
counter with the sheriff and his party
The other man, Neil, is rather an unim-
portant member CT the kuklux band.
Cantrell is supposed to be an active ku-
kluX, and q member of some import
ance. His arrest was the cause Of great
excitement, as no one ever suspected
him of being connected with these
white-robed gentlemen. Great excite
ment still prevails in ami around Ben
ton. The sheriff is still in close pursuit
of the remainder of the band, and hopes
are entertained that he will succeed in
capturing and bringing them all to
justice.

Malicious Assault.

Judson ID. Holmes, of this city,
while at Rogers City last Friday,
on business, was most brutally as
saulted and roughly handled by a
man named Clothire. 1t appears
that Holmes, having been called
to Rogers City to attend to some
business matters for parties at this
place, on bis arrival there proceed
ed to the Office of Albert Molitor,
where he was holding a converse
ton with Molitor when Clothire en-
tered the room and asked Holmes
IL he wanted to talk to him as he
did at Alpena a few days previous.
Holmes replied that he wanted
nothing whatever to say to him,
and resumed his conversation with
Molitor. Clothire repeated his
question, only to receive an answer
similar to the first. Then, Just as
Holmes again turned his back to
continue his conversation, Clothire
sprang forward and deald him
heavy blow over the right eye, and
then followed up the assault with
several severe blows in quick sue
cession, which nearly knocked
Holmes senseless. He at last re-
gained his balance, and reaching
for a chair, prepared to defend
himself, but his antagonist beat
hasty retreat, and left the building.
Mr.. Holmes arrived in this city on
Saturday, and his injuries, which |
are quite severe but not dangerous,
were dressed by DR.. Maiden. Be-
fore he left Presque Isle county,
Holmes procured a warrant for the
arrest of Clothire und Molitor, and
placed it in the hands of the sheriff,
but it is thought by parties here
hat the officer dare not attempt
service of the papers. 1t is said
hat the trouble arose from the fact
hat Mr.. Holmes gave some advice
n regard to the taking from Cloth
re some time since in this city, the
yirl earle. The nefareous scheme
vas frustrated, and Clothire's blood
airly boiled for revenge.
