fyCITING TIMES INTHE CALHOUN
METROPOLIS.
Attempted Jail Delivery of Would he
DesperadOes Puts ArlingtOni-
ans on their Mettle.

Arlington has had an attempted Jail de-
livery that created a sensation and arous-
ID and excited the whole town.
On Saturday night number of young
eOuntrymen went into to Wn, and, after
getting pretty we'll tanked up on mean
Rhiskey, proceeded to spread on the red
baint in improved desperate style.
They terOrized the town for a while by
khooting off their pistols very rapidly,
/ bud cursing and threatening language.
On Sunday Marshal Paramore organ
led posse, and Sunday night they
Eent out and arrested J. L. Skies, Tom
Paddock, John Coleman, L. Sasser, Will
am Douglass and M. G.. Quincy, who
Eere in the crowd. Skies made his es
oape from the officers and is still at large.

eaid his fine and gave the required bond
BID was released. He Immediately left
bwn. Threats that had been made and
&c known desperate character of the

Aat an attempt at delivery would be
ade that night, and guards were sta
bned at the city jail. Sure enough,
bOut II o'clock men began stealing uU
Dm every direction and soon had sur
sunded the Jail. An alarm was given
the marshal and the citizens respond
50 quickly with Winchesters that the
NDuld-be liberatOrs were forced to take
their heels, and all efforts to catch
EN- were futile.
The town is thoroughly aroused and
determined that the men shall be pun
1ed, and if another attempt to liberate
em is made it will be an unhealthy
pee of business for those who under
he it.

tee from further consideration CT the
question by fixing an arbitrary limit,
which expires today, giving this com
mittee no opportunity for consideration
of movement for proper fusion; there
fore,
Be it resolved, That the chairman of
this committee appoint a committee o.
five, of which he shall be chairman. to
properly present to the public the atti-
tude of the committee on the efusal To
accept the unreasonable and unjust ulti-
matum of the populist committee, cloth
ed as it is in offensive and unbecOming
language.
The committee then decided the man
ner of nominating candidates for tho
supreme court judgeships, adopting the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the several counties
of the state are directed to select, either
by primary or mass meeting, as the ex
