Middleton would reach Clarke'H
Crossing sometime yesterday. Not a
day has passed since he began
his march without news be-
ing received from him, but
up to noon to-day nothing has come
and there Is a general feeling OF ankle
ty for his fate. Gen. Middleton him
self expected collision Friday or Sat
urday. IL may be that the rebels en-
tered In the brush between Clarke's
Crossing and Batouche's Crossing
twenty-five miles up the river. The
country there affords excellent facili-
ties for sheltering the rebels, as 1t Is
covered with bushy underground.
The absence of dispatches would
indicate the destruction of the
telegraph wires. Gen. Middleton
IL understood to have formed q plan
for eluding the rebels by taking q
forced march at night from Clarke's
crossing toward Prince Albert, through
the territory occupied by the Indians.
He Ia anxious to form junction with
Col. Irvine and relieve Prince Albert
before giving battle to the rebels, as
he fears that Riel, even IL defeated,
would retreat from Prince Albert,
sack the town and murder the inhab-
itanti.

A Clamor for Local Option District
special.
CRAWFORD, TEX, April l5.-There
is considerable talk here among local
option advocates. Some of them are
very much incensed at the treatment
received by the county attorney at the
last term OF court. There were three
true bills found against parties for the
illegal sale of liquors aud the cases
were dismissed without cause. A
committee visited Waco u few DAYS
since and made an investigation into
the matter and arrived with report
To the effect that there was foul play,'
on the part OF our county officials. A
meeting of the citizens was called last
night and resolutions were passed
to the effect that they were going
to employ assistance at any cost and
punish theguilty party. They asserted
their rights to u local.option district
according to the votes cast at the cleo.
ton ordered by the county court, and
decided that they would have Justice
dealt out TO them.

started for the exposition yesterday
