AGAIN DEMONSTRATED IN CON- TRovERsY OVER THREE MEN
 FEDERAL OFFICERS WANT.
Officers of Garland County Take Up Prosecution of Warner, Johnson
 and Clark Where Pulaski Fails.

COIleS HTSl DelOTS ItutIdl OulCtTS may interfere, was again demonstrat- ed in the court at Little Rock yester- day, when l.. J. Warner, J. S. John. son and F. M. Clark were held to an. swer charges for an alleged trick" turned in this county before being removed to Council Bluffs by federal officers to answer indictments there.
 In Pulaski county the men were wanted under a charge of having beat Illinois and Oklahoma men out of a sum of money on footrace proposi- The men the trio were charged with beating would not appear as witness. es, and after the cases had been post. poned from time to time, Prosecuting Attorney Campbell of Pulaski county yesterday dismissed the men from the state charges in so far as Pulaski county is concerned.
 When the deputy marshal went to place the three under arrest on the indictment found against them at Council Bluffs, Iowa, in the federal court there they were advised that the men were already in the custody of the officers and would be taken back to Hot Springs.
 It will be remembered that the case against these three men was set for trial on December IT, but J. c. Kyle of Cisco, H., aud one Ray of Okla. homa, who were to appear as the prosecuting witnesses, after promising the prosecuting attorney they would go to Little. failed to appear and the case was continued.
 When the case was called Prose- cutting Attorney Campbell stated to the court that he had done all he could to get the witnesses here, that they had promised him to come when the case was set for the 17th of last month, but that he letters from both of them saying they would not come now.
 He could not force them to come, he said, and Deputy Sheriff Hawkins said he. too, had letter from Ray, and that he believed the witnesses never intended to come. Judge Lea
 
 then told Mir. Campbell it would be foolish to keep the case on the docket and it was dismissed.
 It will be remembered that MT. Kyle and MT. Ray are the men who were taken in by horse race. and Kyle lost about $10,00O on the wager. Ray did not lose so much, it is said, but he lost some money. The officers are unable to see why they should not appear in court against the men they claim robbed them. especially when it IS said that the officers have offered to guarantee their railroad fares and hotel bills while here attending the trial.
 The district attorney did not con. test the Jurisdiction of the Hot Springs justice of the peace court, and the federal authorities made no effort to take charge of the three men.
 The information on which the men were arrested here was charged to George W. Chambers, of Chicago, and alleges that these three. with four others. swindled him out of $1,5Oo on a fake wrestling match.
 The names of the four others were withheld, as were these cases, but it is stated other deals were probably pulled off here, where the sum of money was so small as to indicate the operators had larger motive in the transaction than the mere bagging of the poodle.
 The wrestling match is believed to have taken place on on January 8, and the arrests followed last Satur- day. The men were not confined to jail, although placed under a s3,OO0 bond. which they were unable to make.
