rendered In trials for murder, but no
one charged with rape or arson has
ever been acquitted when ne should

"All false sentiments in regard to

test suit against Mr.. j. II. Davis to
compel the latter TO take TWO lots of

that Mr.. McCrcery had been divorced

Bold Robbers,

LOUISVILLE, Ky, June GA special
from Rogers. Ark, says: This town
was thrown into the widest excitement
about o'clock yesterday afternoon by
Il band of six robbers rushing in with
drawn Winchesters and roSbinp the
Peoples Bank Of all its gold and cur.
rency. amounting to about $4,000
They came into town by a back alley
and left one Of their number to hold
their horses, while three of them went
into the bank and, at the point of
their guns, compelled the cashier to
give them all the cash in the vaults and
two OF their number stood guard at the
door and fired into the streets at every
man that showed his head. The citi-
ZenS, however. rs soon as possible got
what arms they. could and began firing
at the robbers. finally Wounding two Of
them, but to what extent is not known.
Three citizens were wounded in the
light; George j. Jackson, slight wound
IN the head; Tom Baker. slightly wound
ed in the chin; Taylor Stone, shot in
the groin, the ball coming out at the
nip; he Is dangerously wounded and
may die. When the robbers left the
bank they compelled some of the bank
officials to 60 before and behind them
In order to protect them from the citi-
ZenS. Ihe Sherlf with Il posse started
in pursuit Immediately, and at last ac-
counts was only a quarter of IA mile be-
hind them. 1t is thought that they
will be captured, but it is not probable
that they will give up without hard
light. 1t is supposed that they are
making for the Indian Territory, as
they are travelling in that direction.
After three engagements with the rob-
be's, in which the sherltr's posse was
Worsted, the party returned. The pur-
Suers lost five horses killed in the sec
ond fight, and six others were wound
ed. Mayor Patton and a farmer named
Grin esly continued the pursuit, and
came upon the dead body Of one of the
bandits inst across the line in the Cher
okee Nation. The dead man Was about
30 years Of age, but his body was strip.

dts are thought to be a remnant of the

Copeland, with strong posse of depu-
ties, intercepted the robbers after they
had got into the Nation, and an effort
IS being made to eXtermlnate the entire
gang. They were corralled in a clump
