DARING DESPERADOES
Turn Tables on Two Little Rock
Officers in Great Style.

With three siN shooters staring at
reinforced by bundle of dynamite
in the hands of two unknown mon,
two Little Rock officers We're compell-
ed 10 march out Of Little Rock into
the country about ten miles
That is the summing up of an Incl
dent of unusual daring and hfavado
which occurred in the capital city
Sunday night. or early this morning.
As an example of sheer daring it is
unparalleled in the criminal annals of
Little Rock. The account of the affair
received in Pine Bluff is about as fol
lows:
Three men were seen by Constable
Jones and policeman whose actions
and conduct caused the two officers to
suspect them of being dangerous char
acters They went to Little Rock on
a Choctaw train.
The officers became convinced that
the men were criminals and accosted
them. Befort they had hardly COM
manded them to halt, the three men
drew guns upon the officers. Having
d decided drop upon them they were
completely at the mercy of the three
men, They were orderd to march dou-
Bile quick time towards the suburbs
and after the city was behind them,
they continued on until they had gone
at least nine miles out into the coun-
try. The three unknown men then
left the officers to themselves and
dashed away into the woods.
The two officers did not put in their
appearance at the headquarters until
late this morning.
The news of the daring affair was
received in Pine Bluff by Chief of Po-
lice Craig who was telephoned by the
Little Rock authorities to meet both
the Little Rock trains. and to be we'll
prepared for an encounter with them
should they be on either.
