POWERS ARRESTED.
Another Member of the Family
Held For GOebeI Murder.

Frankfort. KY, May 22.-John Pow
ers. brother of Secretary of State pow
ers, and who is also indicted for h as
s-assination of Senator Goebel, was ar
rested in the mountains of Kentucky in
Knox scounty near B%arbourville last
night by officers from the Democratic
state authorities. He was taken to
Barbourville where habeas corpu pro-
ceedings were begun today.
Governor Beckham has issued an or
der dismissing the Democratic soldiers
and they will return home tomorrow.
Former Adjutant General Collier, Adju-
tant General Castleman and Governor
Beckham held a conference this fore
moor relative to the formal ransfer of
the state guard and equipments to the
Democratic administration.
The Kentucky authorities will not at
tempt to mandamus Governor Mount to
honor the requisition Of Governor Beck
ham for the arrest of Finley. The opin-
ion prevails that the matter is wholly
within the province of the governor of
each state and no legal action a be
maintained to force the requisitiOn.

time only to be met by a full arm swing
on the jaw and to land again Oh the
sidewalk. Chic Ramsey separated the
fighters and they were all booked for
disturbing the peace.
