melted out TO the Arkansas train robbers.
On the night of the 22do September. three
men boarded an Iron Mountain train, near
New Hope, Ark, and relieved tho passn-

. bles to the amount Of $4,000. The X. X.
Company offered 81 500 reward for their
capture, and the Governor Issued procla-
nation offering an additional reward. This
was tempting bait, and party sci out to
bring them in. They succeeded in csptu-
ring them on the 2sth, one in TEXAS and
the other two in the Indian Nation, and
returned them to the nsishboshood Of their
crime for trial. A special court was con-
vened ON Saturday last. when each Of the
young rascals plead guilty to fourteen in
dictments. and were sentenced 10 20 years
each in the Penitentiary, The whole time
that elapsed from the night q he robbery
to the day Of the sentence was but sixteen
days. This summary action and condign
punishment will put an end 70 train rob

a very healthy effect everywhere. Swift
and certain punishment TO all offenders Is
the only way to diminish crims. Had
these robbers been allowed coatisuanes,

that by the time their trial was finally
