we're: Murder, u; assault with intent

violating revenue law, 2; introducing

FoHrY-FivE uUNo.-says the Fort
Smith Elevator: The recent execution
Of wasson and Jackson brings the
number who have been hanged here to
iorty-fye. The first execution took
place August 10, 1873, when John Chill
ders ,,as hung. Since that time eighty
six muiJerers were convicted, three Of
whom died in jail, one was pardoned,
three commuted TO short terms OF
imprisonment, twenty-nine to life
imprisonment, and five are now 10 Jail
awaiting sentence. The statement
first sent out that seventy-one had
been executed, is all a mistake, as an
examination Of the records will show.
Forty.fve is enough without adding
twenty-six imaginary cases, thus mis-
leading the public, to the injury of this
section.

and he got it from him. On the way
home yesterday, Moore used some harsh
language towards Conductor Crutcher,
of the Frisco, and that party very
promptly put him of the train some
twenty miles from bere. 1t is likely
that nothing can be made OF the big

of Kerb Holt, near the line, on the Ar
kansas side, and hr.ped themselves 10

then made tracks for .he nation, TAX

day evening an Arkansas sheriff and
his posse were in hot pursuit, and
learning that the tramps were only

they came up they were ordered to sur
render, but instead OF doing so they
opened fire on the sheriff aud his posse
with guns and six-shooters, upon which
a free fight began, One OF the tramps
was killed outright, and the balance
supposed 10 be wounded, as traces Of
blood were found in the way the other
three fled. There were ten Of the sher-
iil's crowd, and the inng was like a

brought was thus disqualified 10 sit as
judge; second, that the amount in con-
troversy, being more than S25, was be-
yond the jurisdiction Of the city court;
third, that the account had not been

former motions were over.ruled but the
latter was sustained. 1t is understood

that they will have preaching quite

the farmers are making every effort to
get through plowing it before the green
heads come. Cattle are looking well
and it is thought they will be in condi-
tion to ship two weeks earlier than last
season. One OF the neighbors killed a

correspond with the commissioners of

ties joining in the construction Of II

the urgent demand for Il bridge at that

ready 10 join Yellowstone county in its

to, and did, address the Yellowstone

months ago. when it was asceriained
that there WAS uo funds in the road

Since then The taxes for 1850 have been

The sentiment Of the taxpayers of
