habeas corpus. The secame before Chancellor James F. Robinson for a hearing. Arguments were make by the attorneys on both sides. After listening to the evidence addueed at the trial Chancellor Robinson ad- mitted Wilson to bail in the sum of $2,000 and Walter Kemp to bail in the sum of $l00.
 Great excitement was oceasioned by his act, for the people feel sure that Wilson and Kemp are guilty, and they were greately incensed that the Chancellor allowed them bail.
 The Chancellor did not render his decision until II o'clock Saturday night, and when the decision become known, about three hunded people soon gathered at the Courthouse and hisses of contemp against the Judge could be heard from all sides. Not satisfied with this, 8 man of straw was made, a rope was placed around its neck and it was hung upon limb of a tree in the Courthouse yard, with this inscription written upon 0 band box that substituted a hat:
 We, the good people of Arkansas county, hang Chancellor Robinson" ]"
 From attorneys who were at De- Witt at the time of the hearing of the case, and who heard the evidence, the GRAPHIC reporter learns that the State failed to make case against either Wilson or Kempt, and that in allowing the men bail Chancellor Robinson went by the law and the evidence, which was most commend able, considering the great pressure that was brought against him by the excited people and the animosity evinced towards the two prisoners.
 The affair was most unfortunate, but it shows that Chancellor Robin son is going to do that which he be- lieyes to be right, regardless of con sequences.

 Jim pulled his gun, pointed at Cog bill and told him to putup his hands or he would kill him Cogbill saw that the men were in earnest and compiled with their order. The two men then pulled ropes from their pockets and bound him securely. After they had bound Cogbill one of the men placed a revolver at his head and told him to tell them where he kept his money. At this iuneture, Mrs. Cogbill, who was nearly frightened to death, uttered a loud scream. One of the men struck her over the head with pistol and told her to keep quiet, or he would kill her. Thelady sank back into her chair expecting every minute to be the last.
 The men again demanded that Cogbill tell them where he kept his money, as they knew he had large sum in the house. Cogbill saw that they were in earnest and that he would cerainly be killed if he did not do as they required, so he told them. The men got the money, which amounted to $1 ,614, and after telling Cogbill that if he or any of his family left the house before daylight, that they would be killed, they then went to the stable, saddled Cogbill's horse and rode off.
 Cogbill was afraid to leave his house until daylight, and sat in his room with his hands tied until after sun rise. He then started to Pine Bluff to report his loss. He arrived here about 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The officers were informed and they set to work endeayoring to find the robbers who entered the city Saturday night, for Cogbill had met his horse several miles from here. Telegrams were sent to various points along the railroads, but 1t was done too late,as the robbers had reached Texarkana in safety.
 Conductor w. W. Alexander brought the train in from that point Sunday afternoon. He reports that the men were passengers for Texar- kama on his train Saturday night. One. of the men entered the coach with a ticket. The other man rode out to the crossing on top of acoach.

EVIDENCE, NOT SENTIMENT,
IS WHAT CHANCELLOR ROBINSON
 REQUIRES IN HIS COURT.
A Mob of Prejudiced Citizens of Arkan- sas County Greatly Incensed Against Judge Robinson Because He Admits Two Prisoners
 to Bail.

On Sunday, June 9th, 1895, John Kemp, a ruffian of Arkansas county, visited the fishing camp on White river, of a man by the name of Hollis. At the time of Kemp's visit to the camp Hollis was absent. Kemp took advantage of this fact to in- suit, by improper proposals, Mrs. Hollis, whom he found i'll an unpro- tected condition. Kemp left the camp after abusing and insulting the woman. On the return of Mr. Hollis his wife told him of Kemps visit and how he had insulted her. Hollis at once went to the nearest magistrate and endeavored To have a warrant issued for Kemp, but the magistrate, who was afraid of Kemp, refused to issue the writ of arrest.
 Kemp learned of Hollis actions, and at once decided to get revenge. so on Sunday night in company with a party of companions, armed with weapons, he again went to the camp.
 A friend had notified Hollis that Kemp and his gang of cut throats were going to pay him another visit, and urged him to either leave the vicinity or else arm himself. Hollis owned shot gun, but he had no shot with which to load it, so he cut some slugs from his fishing nets and loaded the gun and set if in his tent.
 All was quiet in the camp until 2 o'clock Sunday night, when the campers were awakened by the re- report of guns and the sounds of shot hurtling through the tents above their heads.
 Hollis bade his wife and children to flee from the tents, which they did. He, with his gun in hand, remained. A few moments later John Kemp, with gun in hand, appeared at the camp door, when Hollis fired and killed him. Kemp's companions saw him fall. They fired another volley through the tents and fled, leaving behind their dead companion.
 After the departure of the ruffians Hollis began q search for his wife and children. He found them, but found Mrs. Hrs. Hollis cold in death; her brother. a young boy l6 years of age, was also found lying on the ground breathing his last. Alma Tankersley, a young girl and neice of the murdered woman, was shot in the arm, Hollis, himself also re- ceiyed wound which necessitated the amputation of his leg.
 The day following the tragdy the officers of Arkansas county arrested John Wilson and Walter Kenny. on the charge of being members of the gang who committed the murders. The men were incarcerated in the county jail at Dewitt.
 On Friday last the attorneys for Kemp and Wilson sued out writ Of

He was discovered at the crossing The train was stopped and he was made to get down. He then entered thecar and paid his fare i'll silver. At the time Mir. Alexander did not know of the robbery, but the men acted so strangely that MT. Alexander's sus- picions were aroused and he watched them closely. The descriptions that he gave of them proved beyond d doubt that they were the robbers. Mir. Alexander says that they left his train at the yards in Texarkana.
 Nine hundred dollars of the money stolen was in gold and $7l0 in green backs. The remaining $4 was in sil- yer. The silver was in a peculiar purse and it was with the money in the purse that one of the robbers paid his fare to Texark ana.
 Mir. Cogbill offers Q reward of $500 for the arrest of the robbers and the recovery of the stolen money.
 The following is a good description of the robbers:
 Jim Jones is about 2S years old; black hair and eyes; dark complex ion; small moustache; , feet 5 inches high; wears a No. 6 shoe and weighs about 145 pounds.
 Will Jones is about 24 years old; black eyes and hair; small black , feet inches high; weighs 150 pounds. Wore red stripped shirt and dark jeans pants. Both men looked very much like Italians or MeXieans.

A Compliment to Our Postmaster.

It is not generally known, yet it is a fact, that if postal cards are trimmed it makes them unmailable without stamp is placed upon them.
 Several days ago a wholesale house of New York sent a customer a number of postal cards enclosed in d letter. The cards were to be returned to them by the customer after being filled out with questions that the New York house desired to know.
 The cards were mailed, but it was detected that they had been trimmed down and they were stopped and the Pine Bluff firm notified that an ad- ditional stamp must be placed on them if they were to reach their destination. The New York house was notified of the action of the Pine Bluff Postmaster, and member of the uTul WIolC to HID SuotoihCi III IiiS city saying: ''The Pine Bluff Post master is technically right, yet we have sent thousands of similar cards all over the country, and this is the first time that they have heen stopped while ill transit. .
 This little incident shows how careful our Postmaster and his en- ployes are to carry out the postallaws to the very letter.

Their Choice.

People who find it tiresome to read Q book more than once will scarcely credit the story which is told of one of the Scilly isles. The entire library of this little is- land consisted, a century or more ago, of a single copy of the History of Dr. Faus- tus.''
 As most of tho inhabitants were able to read-provided words were not too difficult tho conjurer's story had been handed from house to house, until from perpetual thumbing very little of his entertainments or his catastrophe was left lcgible.
 Whom this alarming state of things be- cano evident, a meeting of the principal inhabitants was called to discuss what could be dono to remedy it, for the people must have something to read.
 A proposal was made and carried that as soon as the season permitted any inter- course with Cornwall supply of books should be ordered. Tho question arose what these books should be, but at last it was settled amicably that an order should be transmitted to Penzance for another copy of tho History of Dr. Faustus." And then the meeting joyously broke up.- Youths Companion.

MAcMAHoN AND MANTeuFFEL.
On the Verge of Duel at the End of tho
 Franco-Prussian War.

On the Verge of Duel at the End of tho
 -Prussian War.
 The Cologne Gazette has published sev- eral letters, which explain 0 curious incl dent of the Franco Prussian war. That General von Mantcuffel and Marshal Mac Mahon were very near fighting a duel in the fall of 1871 has been known generally for 20 years. The circumstances of their disagreement, which have now been ex- -plained, were these:
 Manteuffel commanded the German army of occupation, which was holding cer- tain parts of France until the war indem- nifty should be paid. MacMahon command ed tho army of Versailles. T called upon } Marshal MacMahon on Sept. g." Manteuf- fel reported to the old emperor, "and he refused to shake hands with me. I went , the next day to General de Cissey, minister of war, and told him of the affair. I did , not mention it to M Thiers, because he, as a civilian in his high official position, would have complicated matters. in- formed General de Cissey that I felt ag- grieved by Marshal MacMahons behavior and must have from him a declaration that in refusing the hand of Prussian general he had not intended any reflection or insult. I thought it better to call upon General de Cissey, who was at hand, than to send two Prussian generals to the mar shal."
 .l The result of Manteuffel's demand for an apology was this letter, addressed to him from MacMahon's headquarters: . General de Cissey, the minister of war, hes just informed me that you felt aggrieved by what passed between us yesterday regret this and can but laud the sentiments that you expressed. I declare that under the circum- stances in question my intention was anything else rather than to be offensive to you. Please accept, general in chief, the assurance of my high consideration. M. DE MAcMAHoN,
 Duke of Magenta.
 This letter served to keep the peace, al- though it did not allay the enmity which MacMahon and Manteuffel ever felt to- ward each other

lawyer cannot advertise his ability and desire for business in the newspapers as n merchant does his wares. If he does, ho isis expelled from the ranks in disgrace \ Neither is ho supposed to seek business in siany way. Ho must sit in his office and wait for it to seek him. Doubtless the great majority of lawyers do not seek busi- ness, except through family or club or po- ,litical influence, but not so all of them. There arc many lawyers who mako it regular business to seek accident cases, and it Is safe to say that every man who IS sufficiently injured to be taken in charge by policeman and conveyed to hospital is bewildered by the array of legal talent placed at his service for tho purpose of re- covering damages from somebody.
 The son of man recently killed by street car informed the writer that he was besieged by no less than 100 lawyers who were anxious to begin an action against the railway before the breath had left his fathers body. They came to him person. ally, they wrote him letters-stereotyped lctters-of sympathy and coincidence, and offering to relieve same by bringing &C., tion at once on basis of 50 per cent or 33 1-3 per cent of amount recovered. Sev- eral followed him to the funeral and tried to claim tho deceased ns an old friend.
 Some lawyers actually employ shrewa solicitors who do nothing but follow up all sorts of accidents and propose to tho victims to pay all advances in court costs, etc. Two or three firms have organized themselves Into so called benevolent as sociations and woe betide the wight who retains their services. The majority of these lawyers arc miserable fellows who would not hesitate to sell out their clients for few dollars though there are many young men of good parts-who arc faith full to their trusts. Of course obtaining clients in this manner is nothing more or less than barratry and champerty, but it is difficult to prove the charge. Conse- quently the number of barrators and chamc pertors increases yearly. It is said that the pioneer lawyer of this class in the city is now millionaire and member of one of tho swellestla firms on William street.
