tiary-One the Suspects Jumps an Oaicer.

LITTLE Rock, Nov. 11.-Lemon and
Arnett, the train robbers who have
been in Jail at Batesville since their
capture on the charge of robbing the
Iron Mountain train, We're brought TO
the penitentiary at l o clock this morn
ing, at the suggestion of Gov Fish
back, who thinks the penitentiary the
safer place.
Wackerly is now in Batesyille on a
charge from which he has been a fugi-
tive. The railroad authorities believe
that he had direct connection with
the robbery.
The remaining five men are now re-
ported making their way from the
mountains of Stone county to Plum
merville, with posse in hot pursuit.
One OF the pair HOW i'll the peniten-
tiary, Lemon and Arnett- which one
| the authorities refuse to divulge-has
| confessed that he took part in the
robbery.
A dispatch to-day says that three
men, the description of whom bears a
| close resemblance to the missing rob-
bers, were seen in Searcy county Tues
day. A report from Newport that two
of the robbers passed there to-day in a
row boat proved to be mistake, the
men being farmers known hereabouts.
| Soyop mon mora in tho raoapt Iron
Mountain holdup. Six men were soon
under arrest suspected Of having a
hand in it, Evidence against some of
them is positive while others are held
for investigation.
Two more men have just been put
under arrest charged with having
hand in the robbery. They were cap
tured at Mountain View, Stone county,
by Deputy Marshal Heck Bruner and
John Copeland from the Indian Terri
tory. These experienced criminal
hunters were summoned shortly after
the robbery, and on their arrival i'm
mediately set to work to study the
plans and character of the tobbers.
They came to the conclusion that they
were old offenders and belonged to the
Dalton gang. On Wednesday the rail-
road official ear came up the Fort Smith
road, whence they struck out for the
trail which they thought the bandits had
taken from The Territory to James
town. They found that the robbers
had passed through Mountain View,
Stone county, and that they had laid
out a route of retreat over the same
trail. Owing to the distance from
Geographic communication it was inn
possible to learn further particulars
concerning the capture.
Information was received in this city
to-day to the effect that the Bald KNOB
train robber suspect had escaped the
officer in charge and is now bel. z
holly pursued. Deputy Marshal
Mason started with him to Newport
! for Identification. A citizen Of Brag-
we'll, Tex. iden titled him as A. S. Cas-
tleman, whom he had known in in Tex
as, where he is now wanted for horse
stealing. No one could identify Castle
man as one of the robbers, though he
Was seen in a rough crowd several days
prior to to the robbery. Deputy Mar
shall Mason decided to take him back
to Bald Knob, and accordingly took the
9:20 train. While the train was still
in motion, and just before reaching
Bald Knob. Mason allowed his prinoner
to got out on the platform. Mason fol-
lowed him, butt just as the train was pull
ing into the depot someone spoke n
Mason, causing him to turn his head,
when Castleman jumped off the train
and fed, A posse was orgarized and
started in pursuit. Castleman's flight
leads to the belief that he was inlp!ica-
ted Ia tle robbery.
