The argument in the case Of
the Howard county rioters before
the Supreme Court has been in
definitely postponed.
Arkansas weekly mansion., 1884-02-02


The following is what an eye
witness says about the Howard
county affair. He says Reed was
Wyatt's landlord.
Reed was at the bottom of this
trouble and used Wyatt as will
ing tool to do his bidding, and
failing to carry out their purpose
the day of running the land off,
when old man James Marshall's
daughter was in the field plow-
ing, this Infamous scoundrel came
around the field and got over the
fence and questioned Miss Mar
shalPs virtue and she told him to
clear out, when he seized hold of
her and attempted to outrage her
person, when the woman made
such noise that he knocked her
down senseless to prevent her
from hallowing, and made his
escape home. The noise caused
by the attempt to rape was heard
by some of the family and they
rushed to the field. When they
got there they found Miss Mar
shall lying on the ground sense
less, and when they carried her
to the house and she came to her
senses, they inquired of her who
did this. and she said Thomas
Wyatt, relating the circum-
stances inst as I write them;
then old man James Marshall
called in a few colored men of
the neighborhood to know what
was best to de. They advised
him to go to the justice and get a
warrant, and of he put. When
he reached the justice he was told
by him that if he had Wyatt
arrested it would get up trouble,
and to wait until the grand jury
met and let the case go before
them. So the old man being de-
feated in his expectation by going
to the justice, made his way on to
Washington. where he met a law
yer and related his information;
the lawyer told him the only
thing he could tell him was to
go home. and if any one came on
his premises interfering with him
and his family to 60 for them:
Then the old man, giving up all
hope Of anything being done for
him, went home. and on his way
he determined to have this man
WYATT arrestoJ. SO We called
meeting Of coiored men at the
church Monday night and talked
the matter over.

THE LAWS OF ARKANSAS
IN REFERENCE TO MURDER AND RIOT.

Murder is the unlawful killing
of a human being in the peace of
the State, with malice afore-
thought, either expressed or i'm
piled. See Gantt's Digest, Sec.
1248.
Riot-If three or more persons
assemble together with intent, or
being assembled shall agree mu-
tually to assist each other to do
an unlawful act with force or
violence against the person or
property of others, or against the
peace or to the laws of the people,
and shall accomplish the purpose
intended or do an unll act in
furtherance of such purpose, in a
violent or turbulent manner,
every such person so offending or
who shall aid or assist in doing
an unlawful act, shall be adjudged
guilty Of a misdemeanor and
shall be punished by imprison
ment not exceeding one year, or
by fine not to exceed $500, or
both fine and imprisonment. See
Gantt's Digest. Sec. 1906.
If any person or persons do an
unlawful act with force or vio-
lence against the person or prop
erty of another, with or without
a common cause or quarreling, or
even do a lawful act in a violent
or tumultuous manner, the per-
son SO offending shall be deemed
guilty of a riot, and on convic-
ton shall severally be fined in
any sum not to exceed $500, or
imprisonment in the county jail
not more than three months. See
Gantt's Digest, Sec. 1907.
BY reading the foregoing sec
tions Of Gantt's Digest, which is
all the law governing the case.
will, in our opinion, give all nee.
essary evidence that the Judges
will be sustained by law to re-
verse the decision of the Howard
county court, as it was nothing
more nor less than a riot.
1t is reported that the people Of
Mineral Springs, incensed at the
decision of the Supreme Court in
the case of the Howard county
rioters, hung Judges English and
Eakin in effigy. We hope that
the report is not true. 1t is not
to be doubted that the judges il
this case were governed by a sense
of official duty. They may have
erred, but they believed that the
law was on their side.-L. Il

We sometimes wonder Whe- ther, not notwithstanding all the talk which vaunt5 tht. superiority of the good old times over our own, we have not the best of 1t, in our day and generation. True our newspapers are full of mur- ders burglaries. thefts and other crimes, but not one.tenth of these found their way into the papers in the old times. People could not realize the amount of evil among them. Such realiza- tiOn is the first step to the cure. A man now can seldom be robbed and murdered without its being known throughout the length
 and breath of the land. In the Dick Turpin days of England how many unknown crimes of the road must have been com
 mitted, when there was neither live paper, live reporter nor live telegraph to make it known! Our papers to- day have a great deal 10 say of the corruption of legislatures state and national, and of abuses of those in power.
 Propably more or less truth is involved in such statements. What opportunity Tn any land had the rank and file of the peo- pie of two hundred years ago to know about what went on in high places and governing bodies, save by word of mouth? Print such
 matter in a paper? Had there been paper to print it and an editor daring enough 10 print it. he would not have seen twenty four hours of liberty after the first issue. 1t is doubtful if ever he would be seen afierward.-Ex.

should not be readily forgotten
 by the people of Yuma. Of course
 it is not every year that we are
 visited by a food, but we are lia- { ble to such calamity twice a
 year, and il always produces the
 $ me results: We receive damage
 which takes time and money to
 repair. It is therefore criminal
 folly to neglect making the nec-
 essary effort to protect ourselves
 in the future, especially when
 these precautions are of such a
 simple nature. There are, as we
 said last week, but two things
 required: food gate at the head
 of GIla street and a levee on the
 north and west sides of the la-
 guna. The latter is more impor-
 tant both on account Of the com.
 paratiYe magnitude of the work
 and the results which will fo low
 its completion. It is to such a
 levee that we look for protection from future devastation. and the
 flood gate will serve as au outlet
 in case the leved should break.
 We do not pretend to estimate
 what such an embankment would cost, but we do know what is
 needed. Commencing al the slaughter house at the extreme southern end of town, levee,
 four feet in height, should be
 thrown up, on the bank of the la
 guna, 10 the point where the Gila river first touches the peni-
 tentiary hill. This would afford an effectual aud permanent pro-
 lection against the recurrence of last weeks experiences. The work of constructing this levee should be commenced at once. The spring rise of the Colorado will sOon be upon us, and accord ing to all accounts It will be an unusually large river. Hence the necessity for diligence. AS matter of public economy the chain-gang should be put at this work. They can do nothing which will bring the county greater return. It may be ur- ged that as the chain-g gang is made up of prisoners who are at expense of the county at large, and therefore their work should only go to benefit the whole county alike. But the same thing might be said of a great many appropriations of money from the general fund of the county for the benefit of local roads. We do not claim that it 1t absolutely the duty of the Supervisors and authorities of this county to eXpend money for the performance of any such work but we believe, it is as much within their power as other and similar expenditures. We think it, therefore, perfectly proper, under the circumstances, that the chain-gang be put at this work. They are now employed in beau tifying the courthouse, all of which is we'll enough. But there is no hurry about that work. Court does not meet for a month | yet, aud there is no immediate necessity for further embellish- l ment. The courthouse is not in any danger. But the town is in danger. and will be until the l proper steps are taken 10 protect if. Hence we think that public | policy and economy demand that every means within our reach be | used to aid in the construction of ! the proper preventives. And as the chain-gang is here at the ex- pense of the county, let it be used where it will do the most good, and so protect the town from further devastation.
