PURSUING THE BANDITS.

The desperadoes who held up the Frisco express, Friday night shortly after it left Memphis, are being given a very strenuous time through Arkan- sas. The four road agents are being pursued by over 100 well armed men, aided by a number of blood hounds, hastily secured from Springfield, Mo.
 Did the robbers secure large sum of money by their desperate work? The railroad and express officials deny that the holdup men secured anything. The report is circulated generally however, that the booty the robbers secured was very large. The fact that $1 ,OOO reward for the capture of each bandit, dead or alive, and the hot search being made argues that a rich haul was made by the robbers.
 Sheriff Hall, of Lawrence county, with 10 men armed with Winchesters and accompanied by two bloodhounds is working in towards the scene of the holdup from Hoxie, south. His men are working the sWamps on both sides of the Frisco track. Supt. H. M Fickinger of the Frisco, with headquarters at Memphis, has a gang of heavily armed men working the lumber camps north and south of the right of way from Bonneville, and a big force of swamp natives are be- tween these two lines of fighting men, scouting around to see if they can't earn a thousand dollars by bringing down bandit.
 Added to these pursuers there is a large number of railroad detectives and Pinkerton men surrounding the whole territory near the scene of the daring work.

THEIR SUPPOSED WHEREABOUTS.

The bandits are almost certainly within a radius of 50 miles of Marsh, the flag station near where they aban- doned the engine. The officers had no trouble in discovering the trail of the gang. It was broad and led straight south from the right of way into the sw&mps. At point about 12 miles from the place where the engine was deserted the robbers had camped and made fire, possibly for cooking. Several bits of wrapping paper taken from express matter was found partially consumed at this place It is believed the robbers here divided their booty and burned all incriminat- ing papers. From the camp fire the robbers left two trails, the gang evil dently dividing.
 One trail showing two men, bore southwest and was lost in the swamps. Both trails lead south, between the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt tracks. The natives believe the gang is mak- ing for the brakes of the White river, 40 miles distant from the camp. They have probably reached that section by this time and pursuit is rendered quite difficult Memphis News.

PEARLS AND SHELLS.

w. D. Burd, the we'll known pearl dealer, who spends considerable time at Newport, says that while White river does not seemingly, produce the number of fine pearls that Black does, it is rich in shells, which bring nine dollars ton at Newport. About fifteen carloads of shells week are shipped from there to northern but ton factories, and each car is worth about $35O, so it is easily seen that shell gathering is no small industry Lawrence County Telephone.
 w. D. Burd, of Black Rock, pur- chased Saturday morning from J. l.. Parker, of Grand Glaize, perfectly round 70 grain pearl for $500.
 James Jackson of Oil Trough, found a pearl last week which he sold Sat- urday to Dr. Williamson for $20O.- Newark Journal.
 Hindman & Wells of Clover Bend, sold nice 27 grain pearl last Satur- day to Dr. J. H. Meyers for $16O.- Black Rock Blade.

 known farmers and stock raisers of RichwCods township and a man of considerable means, on Saturday morning, May 10, shot and killed Jas. Cole, a tenant. The news was first received here Sunday morning and the stories as told by different parties from that section are too conflicting on some points of the tragedy, to give an absolutely correct version of the affray.
 Friends of the deceased allege that Johnson had been intimate with the former's wife, despite the husbands protests and threats of bodily injury. On Friday evening, Cole either sus- pected or became convinced of his wife's infdelity, and assaulted her, beating her severely. Remorse fol- lowed this outburst of his anger and he betook himself next morning to Esquire Manning, before whom he laid his offense.
 Not knowing how serious had been the assault, the constable J. c. Ball, was sent in company with Coleto the ]atter's home to investigate and re- port upon the assault. Johnson, it is claimed was met upon the road by Cole, and at the point of gun ordered out of the latter's way, with threat of death if he did not obey. The constable and Cole proceeded to the latter's home, where Ball ques- toned the wife in regard to the in juries received in the assault. The | two had started back to the esquire's, when just outside the gate, the shot of a Winchester rang out. Cole ran about 50 steps and fell, just as second report was heard, expiring almost i'm | mediately.
 It is related by some, that at this | juncture Johnson came out from his hiding place and surrendered to the son is still at large and hiding in the woods.
 Only the first shot took effect, en- tering the right side even with the abdomen and ranging upwards, com | ing out below the left arm. Johnson was about 20 steps away when the | fatal shot was fired and from the fact that the bullet ranged upwards would tend to confirm the report that he must have been hidden behind some lower bushes.
 The friends of Johnson claim that | Cole had repeatedly threatened his life and had shot at him once in the woods. The dead man was about 35 years of age, probably feet inches tall, of brunette type and dark com- plexion. Rufus Johnson, on the other hand, is light complected and both tall and slender.
 | A. P. Lashley was here from Rich woods township Monday morning and informed Sheriff Randy that Johnson had given himself up for arrest at once after the shooting. Gustave Jones has been retained as attorney for the defendant, the inquest having resulted in verdict holding that Cole came to his death by gunshot wound at the hands of Rufus Johnson.
