YeggS Shoot Town Marshal

Little Rock, April 7.-Armed
posses are securing southeastern
Pike county and southwestern
Clark county for a band of
"yeggs," who, early Sunday
morning blew the safe in the o.
lie Meeks general store at An
tome, shot and dangerously
wounded City Marshal Flash
man of the town, and escaped
with the loot, which amounted
to $50 in money.
First details of the daring rob-
berry reached Little Rock about
6 o'clock Sunday morning in a
wire from the Iron Mountain OPP
orator at Gurdon to Roy Bend
ure, chief special agent for the
road. The message told of the
robbery and shooting and that
the "yeggs," presumably two,
made their getaway by a speed
er. They were seen to pass Oko-
Iona about 2 o'clock Sunday
morning Or about one and one
half hours following the time of
of the robbery and shooting, as
near as could be learned.
When the charge, skillfully
placed in the combination of the
Meeks' safe, was exploded, Mar
shall Flashman rushed to the
scene. AS he approached the en-
trance to the store the robbers
ran out. A short pistol duel re-
suited and the marshal fell with
two bullet wounds in his body.
Continuing their dash, the
"yeggs" reached the railroad
and before tne frightened resi-
dents of the town, awakened by
the shots, could rush to the aid
of the marshal, the robbers were
we'll down the track. Efforts to
wire the operator at Okolona
failed and he was unaware of the
shooting until the fleeing robbers
had passed his station.

Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April Tt is ex-
pected that appointments to fill
federal offices will begin to be
announced soon. So far the on
ly appointment made for Arkar.
sas has been that of w. F. Eat
man of Mountain Home, to the
Harrison Land Office 1t is gen.
orally believed that Hon. ]. H.
Harrod will be appointed Dis
trict Attorney for the Eastern
District sometime in May, and
the indications are that w. E.
Floyd will succeed u. S. Bratton
as postmaster at Little Rock. 1t
is said that there are about fif-
ty applicants for the offices of
register and receiver of the Lit
tie Rock Land Office. J. S. Bark
man appears to have the strong
est pull for Collector Of Internal
Revenue to succeed Capt. F. w.
Tucker.
The position of U. S. Marshal
for the Eastern District is more
uncertain. There is a prevailing
opinion that A. J. Walls, chair
man of the State Committee, is
slated for the place, as the very
close personal and political
friend of Senator Robinson, al
though it is recognized that the
wishes of Senator Clarke must
be considered in this as in other
patronage.
Former Speaker Frank Mil
wee, of Monroe Co., has been
talked of most prominently in
connection with the place, and
there are a score or more of 9TH
ers who have figured more or
less extensively in the gossip.
The friends of National Chair
man McCombs do not believe
that he will interfere in the dis
! tribution of Arkansas Offices to
the extent which unofficial Cos
sip indicated early in the season.
