ANOTHER E9LB.EP,
The X. { 4. Y. Ribbed Near Wassner,
|. T., and One Man Seriously Shot.

As train No. 23s on the Kanrss and
Arkansas Val ey Route was approach
ing Coret.a Q way station about z
miles Fast OF Wagner at 9:55 Batur-
day evening the switch to the side
tlnck was thrown suddenly when the
train WAS within u bout two car lengths
of it and ths train turned in;o IL rum
nlng into some box cars that were
standing ON the track, wrecking three
and damaging the engine considera-
bly,.
The facts as learned by your Cor
respondent from the engineer and
fireman are rs follows:
Train No. 232, In charge Of Conduct
or Dunklin, with Jas. Harris, engineer
and Geo. Cottreli, fireman, was
approaching Coretta. at 9:l5 Saturday,
evening, all signals were properly
displayed until the train was within
two car lengths of the siding when
the switch was suddenly thrown aud
the train ran into some box care stand
ing on the siding. No sooner had the
collision taken place than q fusiladc
was opened against the sides of tho
ears aud engine, about one hundred
shots being fired. The engineer and
fireman were then ordered from their
cab and directed to open the express
car but found their services would
not be necessary as the messenger had
already opened the car.
The way safe was then rifled of
$i15, all II contained. another safe in
the car being overlooked by the
robbers, who also refused to modest
the personal property of the engineer
aud fireman, saying they did not wish
to take anything from working
people.
They also entered the mail car, but
did not molest anything, except to
take dirk-knife belonging to the
messenger.
Thy were then proceeding to rob
the passengers, when the distant
rumble of freight train was heard
and the robbers fled, not however
before seriously wounding Jack
Mahara, advance agent for Mahara's
Minstrels. 1t appears that he.
together with the other passengers,
had been hiding between the seats TO
keep out OF reach OF the flying bullets.
Thinking the robbers were gone, he
raised up and Immediately received q
dangerous wound in the forehead.
The fireman stated that SO far as he
was able to distinguish there were
seven men concerned ia the robbery,
none of which wore masks, all being
III his opinion negroes or half-breeds.
It was rumored that three white men
had been seen in the crowd, but the
rumor could not be verified.
1he messenger, Mr.. Ford, was the
same one who was robbed some
months ago ut Seminole Station.
The train was delayed ut the scene
Of the robbery for abou, 30 minutes,
and was then taken back to Wagner,
where 1t was held until $50 q. IN.
Sunday, to allow the track to be
cleared. 1t arrived here at II m, and
the cars gave undoubtable evidence
Of the shooting; dozen or more
windows being perforated by bullet
holes.
I'he lock to the switch had been
partially filed through and broken,
and was brought In by on of the
employees.

Effects Of the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 23.-
United States Consul G0rman, At
Matanoras, says the effect OF the new
American tariff is being felt in in
creased trade with Northern Mexico.
Large expectations Of dressed hides,
mules, horses, ETC., have been added
to the usual exports heretofore made,
and prospects for large sprlng busi-
ness were most cheering. Under the
operation of the Mckinley law all
live stock ceased to be exported, the
tariff OH horses and mules being $3u
each, amounting to total prohibition.

If the Indian Territory were an
nexed to Arkansas it would have
better police supervision and the law
would be more rigidly enforced
There would be fewer crimes In that
section and life and property would
be safer. The Territory should be
annexed to Arkansas by all means
Our people would unhesitatingly Y
undertake the responsibility that an
nexation would bring, and we believe
the Inhabitants of the Territory would
prefer being annexed to Arkansas
rather than any other State or Terri
