 Every effort has been made by the officers at the post to keep the alleged conspiracy secret, but it is learned | that an investigation is now being conducted at several army posts and | important places throughout the coun- try and within short time several arrests of the members Q fthe troop re gently discharged in disgrace are expected to follow.
 Information was received here or i Tuesday night that the arrest Of g negro soldier has been made at Ia Junta. Col. Suspicion rests upon member of the troop of Fort Niobrara Neb.. and at the three other points The arrests of these men had beer postponed until the hearing in th' case of Corporal Knowles was con sI cluded at Fort Reno, when it was hope that some further information woui' be secured tending to incriminate oth CT persons in this alleged conspiracy

The man was al prehended but his name could not D learned. Twenty witnesses, testit! ing for the most part for the defens were examined at length. None c their stories coincided.

CASHIER SHOOTS
 ALLEGED BURGLAR
Man Probably Fatally Wounded While Crawling In Transom at a Beebs
 Bank.

Beebe, Jan. 10.-Last night about 10 o'clock Dr. E. H. Alb ingtou, cashier of the Bank oi Beebe, shot Ed Stearns of this place. Stearns was shot while in the act of entering the bank through a transom over a door body was partly through the transom when Abing ton, who was concealed in the bank, began shooting. Stearns fell to the floor on the inside of the build : ing.
 Stearns received four shots. One bullet grazed his forehead, two bullets entered his right leg aud one entered his right hip and ranged upward. This is believed to bea dangerous wound. Stearns IS resting easy today and will probably recover.
 Constable w. A. Powers was concealed in the bank with Alb ington at the time of the shoot ing. It appears that rumor had reached Abingdon that the bank would be burglarized last night, and he remained to see what would be done. He claims that Stearns and others intended to rob the bank.
 Stearns claims that he was passing by the bank, and hearing I noise inside the bank concluded 1 ie would climb through the tram 'om and see what was the cause 1 ,t the noise.
