HORATIO BANK
 ROBBERS CAUGHT
After Fight In Which One Officer and One Outisw are Woundcd---Three Mcn gre Arrested Near Fort Towsos -Onc Said 10 be
 Henry Starr.

w. w. Whitley returned last night from trip to the Indian Territory and reports that while passing through Fort Towsor, which is located sixty-five miles northwest of Ashdown, he was informed that officers had cap tured the men who robbed the Horatio bank few weeks ago.
 Mir. Whitley was unable to learn full details of the capture but he did learn that Sevier county man whose name IS Park CT, has been on the trail of the robbers and had lost his trail a point east of Fort Towson. The next clue was to the effect that four men had taken up quarters in house near Valyani not far from Fort Towson. and C claimed to be looking for land to rent or purchase. One man IS said to have displayed consider able amount of cash.
 This at once caused suspicion and a posse of officers formed and went to arrest the men who offered resistance resulting in one of the officers being shot in the arm and one of the bandits was shot in the leg by a soft nose ball which fearfully shat tered the limb.
 There were four men in the party and one made his escape. The three mon captured were taken to Fort Towson and placed in jail under heavy guard Parties there who claim to know Henry Starr positively identified one of the men under arrest as the old outlaw.
 It is said the other men gave the names of Hutson aud Hughes. It was HutsoD who was wounded. The name of the officers who made the arrest was not learned,
 Acquisition papers have been applied for and upon receiving them it IS believed the men wil be taken to Sevicr county, where the crime they are charged with was committed.
