Is Expected Soon to Occur.

Little Rock Ark, August 3l.--A letter
the county seat of Searcy county, gives
additional details in regard to the whole
sale murder of deputy United States mar
shals by moJnshiuors in Pope county Sun
day. The letter states that the marshals
had been betrayed and led into a fortified
ambuscade by the desperadoes, where they
were shot down without a chance TO de-
fend themselves. 1t is said that the des-
peradces were led by Xxi Marcum and Bill
Romines. two of the most notorious
sinners in that district. 1t is said at
Marshall that one of the desperadoes was
killed. 1t is thought that there were at
least six men in the attacking party, and
the writer states that the community is
very much excited, and that all the moon
sinners implicated will be lynched If taken
alive but it is hardly probable that they
will be arrested alive. II is believed that
If the posses come upon them in the open
that fight to determination will take
place. Marcum, one of the supposed muir
dereiS. is a veteran moonshiner, IS years
OF age.
The letter also states that the dead
body of one of the Searcy county deputies
reported TO have been killed, was found
near the scene Of the shooting yesterday
1t proved to be the body of Ben Snow,
ex- sheriff Of Searcy county. Deputy Sher-

men early this morning to run down the
murderers. A report reached Little Rock
this afternoon by telephone that Hodge
and HIS posse had arrived close upon the
bandits, and desperate fight was ex-
pected to occur at any moment. Hodge
teiegraphed Marshal Cooper for assistance
lust before he left Russellville, and other
deputies were sent to assist him.
The moonshiners are known to have
spies stationed along the railroad sta
tions adjacent to their mountain resort
who keep them well posted as to the move
ments of revenue officers. They were evil

day, and had prepared to murder the dep
