On Monday night last at about 8
o'clock Major W. b. Barker, while on
his way to the residence of bis brother
in-law, Judge f.. A. Critz, who lives
one mile south of the Court House,
was set upon by two highway robbers
lust IN the outskirts of town, who
knocked him down, cut him slightly
in the face, and several places in his
clothes which just grazed the skin, and
proceeded to rob him In true highway
man style. The Major followed lust
ily for help and the robbers got scared
and decamped. They only secured a
gold watch and chain. Maj. Barker
thinks they were white men, and 1t Is
supposed were Northern tramps re-
turning from the New Orleans prize
fight last month. Energetic measures
are on foot which may lead to their
capture. We are glad to state Major
Barker is not seriously hurt-Forum.

At this place this morning the south
bound train failed to stop for at least
thirty anxious passengers. A freight
train moving at a rate OF ten miles per
hour was between the depot and the
passenger train and the passengers
were all left, eight or ten ladies being
in our party. Mr.. A. A. Sharp was
notified by wire of this, but we oil
think it very necessary that you should
make mention of this in your columns.
Several of these passengers were from
Helena, and had been waiting for this
train several hours. We we're unable
to learn the conductors name, but IL
was train No. going south. SUITS
will be brought by several passengers
who now hold tickets for said train for
damages. If there are any charges for
this item send me the bill to Memphis,
care Gayoso Hotel, and | will settle
same. lours ue',

From visit to tho Box Factory last
