jured. Arnett came to this city last night and
surrendered and is now in Jail. His story and
that of James Pollen, young man who saw the
affair, is in substance as follows: Baentine
was the leader of band of roughs and
outlaws who infested a wild region of

Jackson and Jennings counties They
had grudge against Arnett, and Ballentine had
frequently tried to provoke difficulty Yester-

the attempt, and after few words made an
attack on Arnett when the latter shot him in
