Arkansas, having in char,e Benjamin
Bates, who Is wanted ut EldoradO, the
county seat OF Union, for burglary aud
robbery. He was engaged in merchandis-

community as n gentleman AND q square
business man. But in December last he
secretly disposed Of his effects Tor cash,
and putting IL in his pocket, he
burglariously entered neighbor's store
and robbed the safe of $4,000 skipped the
place, leaving wife and child behind,
without means OF support. Soon after his
departure she put an end to her troubles
by giving the child strychnine and taking
dose herself. A reward of $500 was offered
for Bates, but no tidings of his whereabouts
could be obtained through :he usual
channels, and he was given up rs safely out
the reach Of the law. Finally, a
most curious circumstances put the oil.
GERS on to him. A deputy sheriff OF Union
county vicinity, IN dc visit to Florence,
Alabama. While there he made the nc.
quaintanec of lady who showed him tho
picture OF the man she intended to marry.
He at once recognized it.as the Wis. of Bates,
whom the lady knew as Wilson. AT the
request of the officer she unwil.
lingly gave the information that led
to his arrest and bringing TO Justice.
The information was communicated TO the
sheriff at Eldorado, who at once started for
Tucson, Arizona, where Bates, alias vii.
son, was easily found and his wrists orna.

A Free Bridge.

The county commissioners. court met
yesterday to confer with the stockholders
OF the Trinity toll-bridge, in regard to the
purchase of that structure by the county
for the purpose of making it free bridge,
and 1t will be relief and pleasure to the
business men of Dallas, ms well as the farm,
ers OF this and surrounding counties west
OF here to learn that the trade has been
closed. The county is TO pay $37, 500 for il
and the pike to the bluff. The former offer
on the part OF the couaty was $4,000, but
IN ORDER TO put an end to the
much vexed question of tree bridge, ("
and own what they deemed necessity
they agreed to give the additional amount.
This now being free bridge, Dallas will
get a good deal of trade that has been going
to Fort Worth, Cleburne and other western
points. 1t is the general impression that it
is good purchase, if it is not a bargain.
The people have been clamoring for the
past few years for o free bridge and now
they have it. Commissioners Keller and
McAdams were appointed committee OF
two to negotiate ior the purchase money,
and the bridge will be turned over to the
county within the next few days.
