Hor SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. 1l.-DorAn and his
allies, the ass4iIants of the Flynn Bros. are
strongly guarded aad no further trouble is APP
prehended. Frank Flynn is alleged to have
worn coat of mail which saved his life.
VIM Flynn is in comatose condition, and iu
the probable event of internal hemorrnage, will
certaiuly die. John Flynn is the only mai
dead. Frank Hall, who drove the hack con-
ta,ping The FlA ms, is not dead as was report
ed, but his condition is precarious Hargrove
is also in q dangerous condition, but Craig will
probably recover. An immense gathering of
citizsns was held on Saturday night and it was
unanimously resolved 10 insist upon an imme-
diats session of the court to dispose of the
eelligerents. A though thre ats of lynchiI q
have been frequently made, precautions have
been taken by the authorities to prevent an
outbreak. The hack containing the Fiynns
was literslly perforated, no less than one hun
dred bullet marks being focnd thereon.
John Fiyno's remains were inferred yester
day. VIM. Flynn is sporting man, and ha'
killed several men. Doran was run out o.
Arkansas ten years ago by the state militia.

Terra cotta would literally include evSry

delstood by the term is something neither 90
rough and course as brick nor SO fine as por-

substitute for it, but material possessing
distinct advantages ani capabilities subiect

processes have now become so exact as 10
