LITTLE ROCK, Feb. ga special to The
Gazette from Warren, Ark, says: A
daring but unsuccessful attempt was
made to rob the Merchants and Planters
bank Of this place. About $3.50 p. m.
three men entered the bank and two Of
them went behind the enclosure where
Adair, the cashier, was seated in CONVEX
sation with T. NJ Goodwin and D. w.
Sutton. Their first salutation was:
Hold up your handa" Adair sprang
for his pistol, when the men commenced
shooting. Goodwin received what is
was shot through the shoulder. He re-
turned the fire and evidently wounded
one Of the men, as when he rode OF he
was seen to be bleeding. The firing Of
the pistols startled the citizens. who came
running from all directions, and the rob
bcrs were forced to retire without accom-
plishing their object. AS they rode out Of
town they kept up fusillade Of shots.
Tempered with the Telegraph Wires.
The plans were we'll laid and no doubt
che bank would have been looted but for
the promptncss of Adair with his pistol.
Goodwin is in a critical condition. Adair's
wound is o very painful one. but not
necessarily dangerous. In order to mako
their escape more effective it IL thought
the rascals had confederate to tamper
with the telegraph wires and thus cut Of
telegraphic communication. Severed citi-
zens had narrow escapes from the flying
bullets. and the interior Of the bank Is
perforated with bullet holes. A full de-
scription Of the men has been telegraphed
to all accessible points, and a strong
armed force is in close pursuit Of them.
