Springs People.

Texarkana, October &C. 0.-Fitzsimmons
passed through here at g. 10, and the Lit
tie Rock officers backed by the sheriff of
this county arrested him as soon as the
train reached arkansas territory. The
Hot Springs sheriff claimed prior arrest,
but was ignored by the first named Off
GERS, who disputed his right, on the
authority of the governor of the state TO
act in any official capacity.
The train did not stop in Arkansas and
remained in Texas until ready to pull
out, when last seen through the WIN
dow the sheriff of this county was read
ing the warrant to Fitzsimmons. 1t is
known the sheriff of this county has
men on the train with the courage to

. Hot Springs, Ark, October 30.-Attor
ney General Kingworthy arrived from
Little Rock at $50 a. m. He reported
that proceedings under another law
will be instituted against Corbett and
his party.
1t is the general belief that the gov
ernor will order out troops this afternoon
if Fitzsimmons escapes his warrants and
gets into the hands of the Hot Springs
sheriff.
Local feeling Tagaints Gov. Clark is ex-
ceedingly bitter, the contention Of the
citizens in favor of the fight being that
the governor is overriding all county
laws and local rights.
The prosecuting attorney says: "If
the militia are brought here without
proper requisition from our sheriff we
will put them in Jail. This is no brag
or bluster, we know what our rights
are.

being anxiously waited. Nothing has
been heard from them since their depart
ure from San Antonio last night up to

RwHAT PORTLAND PoPuL1ss SAY

kWHAT PORTLAND POP PuLlSS "a y.
The few Portland populists who could
be reached last evening seemed to be all
and thought that it would be the best
that could be made under the circum-
stances. They did not anticipate any
difficulty in sending full working dele
CATION of Chase men to the national con-
vention. W. H. Sargent. who is one of
the best known populists in this section
Of Maine, said that he did not believe
that after taking a sober second thought
any populist would oppose Solon Chase
because of his having supported Mr..
Blaine, as from that time he has been one
of the great leaders in theTmovement that
has resulted in the present populist party
He spoke of the connection OF MIR. Chase
with the greenback party, and thought
that he wo uld be able to carry many OF
the old line greenbackers who of late
years have not voted over to his side,
and that as a presidential candidate ne
would receive very large vote.
When w. II. Mclaughlin was last in
this city he spoke of Mr.. Chase as a pos
ible candidate. and said that it seeed to
him that he would be very popular with
the farmers. s'The way l look at sit. y
said Mr.. Mclaughlin, is that the poll.
tical brush is dry enough to burn, and
that the nomination of Scion Chase
would set it on fire.
