THE ARKANSAS RACE WAR.
The Grand Jury Makes an Investigation and
Brings In Forty Indictments.
5 and 7 w. Washington st.

ST. LOUIS July 22-Information has been re-
ceived from Crittsndsn county. Arksnsas. to the
effect that the grand jury which has been inves-
tigatine the banishment of eighteen negroes by
an armed organization, has made its report The
result is the return Of nearly forty indictments.
The grand jury found that anonymous notes
had been sent TO q number Of white men by ne
groes. givine the whites five days to leave the
county. Upon receiving the threatening epis-
ties the whites met. armed, and escorted out Of
the county the negroes implicated Among
those who received orders to quit the county
within FIVE days, were Col. ]. F. Smith. the lead
ing merchant Of Marion; the sheriff, w. +.
Weiner, OF Crittsndsn county; j. II. Stevens, .
blacksmith; l.. p. Berry. . lawyer, and 5. o.
Mosby, former magistrate OK Marion The
grand jury succeeded in tracing the anony-
nous threats TO the Office OF the
county clerk, David Ferguson, one Of the
eighteen negroes banished. This Office was
opened and fragments Of anonymous notes,
which evidently had not seemed satisfactory,
were found on the floor. Experts pronounced
the handwriting to be that of j. w. Ramsey, o
yopng South Carolina negro IN the employ of
Ferguson as clerk. The immediate motive
for the sending OF the warnings Was found in
the fact that Ferguson and d. w. Lewis, the
negro county judge. had been indicted by .
former grand jury tor habitual drunkenness
the penalty for which was removal from Office
The intention was TO create reign Of terror
and break the force of the prosecutions Fer
euson was one OF the Arkansas altsrnates to the
Republican national convention at Chicago. He
was serving his third term as clerk Of Critten-
den county, an Office worth Sc. 600 per year The
testimony before the grand jury was highly
sensational.
