STORY OF BANK ROBBERS CAPTURE
De Queen Man Was With Officers and Believe They Have the Right Parties

From the De Queen Bee.
 A man thought to be one of the bandits who held up the cash fer of the Bank of Horatio on December 19, is in custody near Fort Towson, 1. T. He is going there by the name of Andy Hud- son, hut is tho ~-->4,----e'' ''- aas'S at the time of the robbery, to be ffrnry Starr.
 Last Saturday night phone message was received here from Cashier Adams of the Bank of Horatio, for some one who saw the robbers to go to Fort Towson 10 identify two men, thought to be the ones wanted. H. (. Walker, who was at the De Queen Hotel during the time the robbers were guests there, left on the early train Sunday. It was un- derstood here that the parties were under arrest, but when MT. Walker reached Fort Towson, Deputy United States Marshals Lon Holden and Ned Cummings armed Mir. Walker with a Win chester and revolver and asked him to accompa 1y them about $ miles 10 the country to make the arrests. There were SIX in the posse. They reached the houses about 3 o'clock in the morning. The officers made themselves i known and demanded surrender but their demands were met by a fusilade of shots. Deputy Ned Cummings was shot in the arm, and the man wanted had his ankle broken by shot from one of the posse before they wonid surrender to the ofhcers. Mir. Walker, who has returned, thinks there IS no doubt that the man known as Hudson is the one wanted. The other man arrested claims to be a son-in-law of Hud' son, but is being held because he is thought 10 be a member of the gang.
 Sheriff Tribble went to For
 Towson Wednesday and If ht finds that Hudson is one ot the robbers, will have him brongh
 here as soon as he sufficiently re
 covers from his wound to mak'
 the trip.
