Bloodshed Imminent.

The condition of affairs between
the warning factions in the Indian
Territory is hourly becoming more
critical. Both sides are ready for bat
tie, and 1t is thought that the sun will
rise to-day on a bloody scene. Locke
and his forces have withdrawn from
Antlers and crossed the river, going
over to his ranch, where he is sup
posed to be strongly fortified. Judge
Duke and his military following have
given out an ultimatum that either
Locke and his men must surrender
or be utterly exterminated. The
threatened men are given until day
light to-day to decide. OF course
they will not think of surrendering,
so a desperate fight appears unavoida-
BILE. When the clash comes, II the mi
litia is victorious, fears are entertained
that they will wreak vengeance upon
citizens who have acted as mediators
and endeavord to settle the matter
without loss of life. II is believed
that they have several white men
marked for slaughter in case they win
to day. So strong had this feeling
become that last night Hon. John G.
Gibbons, United States Commission
er, sent the following telegram:
ANTLEEs, l. T., March 81.
Leo Bennett, Indian Agent, Muskogee,
1T:
Forces still increasing. Blosdshed
unavoidable, and that soon. Hope no
United States citizens will be involv-
ed, but afraid they will. If you are
coming you had better be quick.

A FIENDIsH MURDER.

The murder of Phil Garner at Sher-
well, near Pine Bluff Ark, appears to
have been one of the most cruel and
bloodthirsty deeds yet recorded in the
annals of crime, in this State. Addi-
tional details of the crimearo still
coming to light and each new develop
ment tends to increase the horrors
which already surround the killing.
1t has just been learned that his
slayers before killing him poured al
cohol all over his person and then set
him afire. All ever the tortured body
burns were discovered and he died in
fearful agony. Sam Ridley, Reuben
and Sam Yuser, Ike Nowhouse and
two women, Emma Shaw and Sallle
Shields, were placed In Jail Thursday
morning charged with the murder.
j. Il. Lesser, the saloon-keeper, and
Hudson Leppiew are in charge of Of
flcers, held on suspicion. The grand
jury which is now in session is vigor-
ously investigating the crime and fur
Their sensational features are expected
to be brought to light.

Not so Practical.

One Of Americas pet theories, Is
the shrewdness, sagacity and thorough
ly practical character Of her people.
Indeed this is the general idea Of
Americans as held by all other ma
tons, and yet there are those of the
best informed among our own people
who deny to US as a nation, the right
to this distinction. Even claiming
that 1t can be shown that they are
the most dreamy, imaginative and
impractcable people in the world,
living In veritable cloud-land of fan
cy. This inference is drawn from the
American method of conducting pub
lie business, rs tested for example by
the character and kind of men almost
invariably appointed to foreign con-
sulates. "To suppose, as Americans
do that the general run Of our con.
suls are able TO do the work for which
alone consu.s have any right to exist
at all, is simply to indulge In an aston
ishing flight Of the imagination. What
thinner-spun fancy could fill any
mind than 70 think that man pick
ed out Of the mire Of ward politics
can be cleaned up and set down in a
foreign land where he does not know
the language and expected 10 repre-
sent his country with dignity and
further the interest Of American mer-
chants with sufllciency? II has been
said Of the doctrine Of tree will that
all argument is against II, but that all
experience is for II. But both exper-

Mont, armed with requisition from
Governor Fishback for the return OF
Frank Hickey, under arrest in that
city, for the murder of John M. Clay
ton, at Plummerville in this State, has
arrived safely at his destination. After

ed conveyance at livery stable In

New Conditions.

With the beginning Of construction
on the line Of the Texarkana & Fort
Smith railway from this city south to
navlgable point on Red river, open
n new era for Texarkana. The com.
pletion Of this line affords an outlet
by water for all local merchantable
and agricultural products. Add TO
this the advantage Of low freight rates
both ways and it gives something of
an idea of the Importance and excel
lence Of this line to the present and
future welfare and progress Of our
city. Let everything possible within
the power Of this people to do be
done to secure this great boon to
Texarkana.

NOT A TAX DoDaER.

The Arkansas Legislature, in ,
laudable effort to reach corporation
tax dodgers, sleeping car and express
companies), has apparently very I'M.
Justly included the Western Union
Telegraph Company AS we under
stand the matter, the telegraph COM
pany Is not tax dodger, like the 9th
er two corporations, but in truth pays
its fair pro rata of taxation.
While we have always favored regu-
lating and controlling all corporations,
we have ever advocated treating them
fairly and equitably. They are enti-
tied to the same consideration as pri-
vate individuals, especially when it
comes to question Of taxation.
The bill we speak of is No. $50,
which has passed the House and is TO
come up in the Senate next week, and
it proposes to include telegraph COM
panies, as well as sleeping car and ex-
press companies.
BY the bill as il stands the telegraph
companies will be heavily burdened
with taxation. Now as to the facts
as 30 the telegraph company. Its
books show that in Arkansas its total
business receipts amounted to $685.
680.68 last year. The bill proposes to
raise the taxable valuation of the COM
pany's property, so as to increase its
taxes from about $4,000 per annum to
about $4,000. 1t does not seem fair
or right to exact such an exorbitant
sum from any business enterprise or
corporation whose total income is but
$158,000 annually. No mercantile
house or private individual would be
asked to pay such tax on total
yearly business amounting to this
sum. 1t appears that the taxes here
tofore paid by the telegraph company,
about $4,000 per annum, is as nearly
fair and just as other companies and
private citizens pay. To make 1t pay
more looks like Furnishing the limo
cent with the guilty.
The Senate should amend bill No.
$50, by striking out telegraph COM
panles. II is right that sleeping car
and express companies, who are
known as dodgers, should be made to
step up to the "Captain's counter" and
pay their part of the taxes, but If the
telegraph company is not guilty, it
should not be made to suffer. And if
it is thus unreasonably taxed, the pa
irons and people will have it to pay
at last, as telegraph rates, now reason
ably low, will at once be raised
Gentlemen of the Legislature, be
fair and just in this matter.

FATAL INDIFFERENCE.

While it is, perhaps, already too late
to repair the loss, yet we cannot helE
lamenting the fact that Texarkana
through the neglect or indifference o.
her citizens, has permitted the city o.
Shreveport, La, to come in and wrest
from her the almost inestimable ben
efits which must have accrued to her
from the location within her limits OF
the Texarkana & Fort Smith railway
shops. 1t is simply another instance
in which history repeats itself. When
the Cotton Belt railway was In course
of construction north and south from
this city, no one doubted but that
Texarkana would be the place select
ed both for the general offices of the
road as well as the location for the car
and machine shops thereof. Indeed so
general was this idea that our people
lay back at case, content to receive
these benefits as a vested right. The
result of all this is only too well
known. Texarkana got neither shops
nor offices. Now the same statement
Of facts, slightly varied, will, we fear
one day apply to the location of these
properties on the Texarkana & Fort
Smith road. True it is that by reason
of central location and other natural
and acquired advantages, Texarkana
should be the chief headquarters OF
this road, with the shops and princi-
pal offices Of the company located on
her soil. But we seriously doubt her
getting either one or the other
Shreveport has already set her heart
upon securing the location of these
shops, as the almost prodigal offer OF
her citizens to the officials Of the road
will amply testify. This offer comes
in the shape of guarantee fund OF
100000, together with lands in the
choicest portion of the city, sufficient
for all buildings, tracks, terminal tacl'-
tiles, ETC., either needed or desired
Now the question is shall the people
of Texarkana sit idly by with folded
hands and see these great benefits
snatched from their very arms with
out an effort made to prevent same?
We trust not. it would perhaps re-
quire only moderate exertion on the
part of Texarkana's citizens to prevent
a road from going out Of its way in
order to secure q location with suffl-
Gent inducements. AT least let the
effort be made.
