| BATEsvILLE, Ark, Nov. 6.-This lit tie mountain town has been in the midst of the most intense excitement. | The two train robbers captured Satur- | day afternoon are in jail and there is no reasonable doubt as to their guilt. One, who gives his name as Billy | Lemons, but who is believed to be the notorious outlaw, Billy Dulan, is un- | doubtedly the leader of the gang and the man who went down the aisle of the car relieving the passengers of their valuables. The other gave his name as Mark Arnett Both men posi- | lively refuse to make any kind of a statement While both are evidentl y | desperadoes of the worst character, | they are backwoodsmen and have the ! personal appearance of ideal dime novel heroes.
 The scenes in this city have been "a i la wild end woody west" The posse in pursuit of the four men still at large came upon them at an early hour two miles from Jamestown, and a lively running fight ensued. The bandits were forced to abandon six of their horses and take to their heels. They | also abandoned several overcoats, a pistol and lot of jewelry. The news of the skirmish created most intense excitement here.
 Soon a telephone message was re- ceived from Jamestown stating that the pursuing bloodhounds were within | riAe-shot of the robbers and that they
 were firing at the hounds At 2 p. m. an abandoned horse was found 5 miles from this city. The saddle was per forated with bullets and the horse bad ly wounded. In the saddlebag were found several gold watches, quart of whisky and some cheap jewelry. At p. m. another skirmish took place be- tween the opposing parties, but no one was hurt.
 The bandits were making for the White river bottoms on foot and are corralled in the caves along the banks of that stream. At least 100 men are out, and it is thought to be impossible for the bandits to escape. In the skirmish which took place in the after noon, Jack Wackerly, who has been Sus DttICt ol hhoNIbS lloi V about the robbery than he would ad init, was accused of treachery in trying to throw the hounds off the track and was put under arrest The house of the Wackerlys is being guarded and the inmates are practically under arrest Old Man Wackerly made his escape to the mountains, but is being pursued.
 The railroad officials believe they have the entire lot of robbers corralled, but it may take several days to starve them out. It is believed also that they are short of ammunition, as in both skirmishes they showed great reluct- ance to fire. Fresh blood hounds ar e on the way here from Memphis. WRECKED BY ROBBERS. CAIRO, Ill, Nov. 6-The fast Chicago and New Orleans vestibuled train on the Illinois Central, coming south, was wrecked near Allen, twenty miles north of here. The tender and bag gage and express car were turned over and three passenger coaches were de- railed. Fireman Charles Harmond, of Centralia, IL, was caught under the tender and killed, A switch had been turned, probably by would-be trair robbers, and the train ran out on q frail switch trek leading to a lime kiln in the woods.
 The track gave way under the heavy train with the results stated. Two tramps stealing a ride on the blind baggage were also killed.
 The train consisted of ten vestibuled coaches. President Fish's car was at tached, and the baggage and express car, the latter containing a large amount of money in safe from New York in charge of Messenger Boyle and two guards. Boyle had his arm broken, but the guards escaped unhurt. None of the passengers were seriously in- jured, though all were given shaking up.
 The general officers of the company concluded the wreck had been caused by train robbers, and offered a reward of s1, 900 for the arrest and conviction or information leading to the arrest
