Cotton Belt Mail Car Robbed Near Texarkana By Two
 Bandits.
EVENTS OF THE WEEK BRIEFLY STATED
Man Arrested on Charge of Writing ob- scene Letters to His Wife Judge Duf hs Declares War slot Machines. Lively Contest for Federal Job.
Mall Car Robbed.

A Cotton Belt mail car was robbed at Point near Barrett Tex, on the 18th. Postal Clerk J. N.-Dennis was badly injured by the robbers, who beat him into insensibility with an iron poker. The robbery was not discovered until the train reached Texarkana. When the postal clerk failed to open the car, an entrance was forced and he was found stretched upon the floor unconscious. Dennis was taken to a hospital, and after receiving medical attention reviewed sufficient to give an account of the robbery. Dennis stated that as the train pulled out from the water tank at Barrett he went into the vistibule of the mail car to stir up the fire. When he opened the vestibule door he saw two men standing by the stove, one of whom dealt him a terrible blow over the head with heavy fire shovel. The first blow felled him and he was then quickly beaten into a senseless condition. Examination of the car showed that the robbers gained entrance by crawling through a small trap door through the floor of the yes tibule. It is impossible to tell what the robbers secured, but it is believed they made a good haul

ktlled His Father.in-LaM.

A dispatch from Clinton, Van Buren county gives an account of the Riggs. his son-in-law Riggs made killing of S. w. Hunnicutt by Allen the following statement of the affair. He went out hunting afoot and re- turned to get his horse, when Hunni- cutt, who is about 60 years of age, was in the house with Riggs wife, who is a daughter of Hunnicutt. She was resisting bitterly. Riggs had a double-barrel shotgun and approached the house to shoot him, but by accident both barrels were discharged going wide of the mark. Riggs wife ran out tthe opposite door and Hunni- eutt was following. As he was com ing out Riggs struck him across the head with his shotgun. breaking the gun stock. He then picked up the barrels and struck Hunnicutt, who was then down, across the forehead, crushing his skull. A circumstance which corroborates Riggs story is a letter to his wife from Hunnicutt last Sunday in which he proposes i'm proper relations to her.
