SMALL TOWNS LOOTED.
ITALIA AND WATOvIA SUFFER.
The Thieves @outwitted in an
Attempt to Hold Up a
Train.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 2S.-Last
nights programme i'll the great carnival
of crime which is ROW holding the
boards in the Indian territory consisted
of the wholesale robbery of several
small towns in genuine desperate style
by Bill Cook, supported by a strong
company OF eight or ten followers.
Four men rode into the town of Wato-
via early in the evening, making their
approach by promiscuous discharge
OF firearms. The bandits terroriZed the
inhabitants, and most of them sought
safety in their homes behind barricaded
doors. The outlaws visited every store
in the village and ran the merchants
away with Winchesters and revolvers.
They took from the stores all the money
they could find and everything else
they wanted. The Watovia postoffice
was robbed of about 500 in cash and SIS
in stamps.
From Watovia the gang rode on to
Tala, ten miles away, where they re-
peated their depredationS. They rode
into town and proceeded at once to rob
stores. Every store in the place was
visited, and the proprietors compelled
at point of revolvers and Winchesters to
turn over their cash. The postofice
was also robbed of stamps and small
amount of money. The bandits entered
the town boldly, and made no effort to
conceal their identity: none were
masked. From reports of their descrip-
ton. they were undoubtedly the same
gang that held up the Missouri Pacific
train at Coreta siding Saturday night.
Ii is believed that it was the bandits
intention to rob the Missouri Pacific
Passenger Train No. 2Sl at Tala. While
they we're holding up the postof1ice the
train pulled into the station. The train
men were notified of the presence OF
the gang. and the train was started at
once. Tala is near Claymore. and
about forty miles west of Coreta. The
bandits did not tarry long after the
train pulled out. They galloped out OF
town diScharging their Winchesters.

no OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons Of the COURIER to the necessity OF
shsir heing on the alert, in the matter of judi
eial publications. tsheriffs sales especially as
anes lect on their part to give positive instruc-
lions as to where they desire such advertise
ment published, is apt to result in our being
deprived of the patronage that would other
wjse he given to us. The speriH of this parish
has been making himself especially Jealous in
The matter Of securing sherif's sales for the
naner of which he is director and stakeholder,
and several publications Of that nature have
appeared in that paper which the parties inter
ested would have selected to be done in the
COURIER, had they been consulted and others
have been diverted from us at the special soh-
eitation of the sheriff or his deputies serving
the papers In the matter Of seizures.
TO those who prefer to patronize any otle:
paper In this parish we have no desire to i'll
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage are
earnestly requested to see that the proper
odcers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIFR-,and they are especially
duced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.
