troubles, the CouHerJou raai cores
pondent NJ Camp Taylor Dec 30th, says.
Tho action Of Judge Randall in
arrcsting NIL the ringleaders in tie
Gnmbrcll and Little side has created
CONSERVATION and dismay among those
who have been concerned in the late
difficulties, and Brcathitt county to-day
is the most peaceful i'll the state Mono
of the ringIeaders Of the Strong
party have made their appearance, but
their friends still say they will be
in before long. Judge Linden told me
yesterday TINT Wallace Mcclure, the
man who is reported to have
killed Tom Little, would be
here during court ready to
answer any charge that may be prefer
red against MIN. This morning Brock
Combs, son Of Jailcr Combs, WAS ar
rested and placed in Jail, charged
with being implicated in the muir
der Of Judge Burnett. This makes
five of the Little party
who are now closely confined. John
Altman is yet Vt large, and if he does
not desire 70 give himself up, il is eN-
trcmcly doubtful whether they will be
able 70 find him.
