20 MEN ARRESTED IN
NIGHT NIGHT RIDER RIDER CASES CASES
Sheriff of Arkansas County
Has Is in Jail and Thinks
He has Broken up Gang.

Stuttgart, Apr. 24.-The ar
rest of Arthur Burris by Sher-
if Lafargue and his deputies
last light made the twentieth
arrest as a result of the recent
night rider outbreaks in Ark
ansas County. Two have been
released, one for lack of evil
dence against him and the
other because he was OF the
man for whom a warrant had
been issued. The other Is are
being held on various charges
Four are iharged with first de-
gree murder and are awaiting
the action of the grand jury,
which will convene in May.
Sheriff Lafargue believes he
has broken up the gang Of
night riders, but says he will
make other arrests, shuld the
evidence Justify.
The trouble started in Janu-
airy, when sevral hice plant
ers living in the vicinity of
Mud Lake employed negroes
to cut wood. At once noaices
were pasted warning the neg
roes to leave the vicinity. One
planter whose negro employees
were scared away by these no.
hces, said lie was paying IDOL
lar a cord for wood, and that
only one white man asked him
for work. He said he gave
this man enjoyment but that
he remained only few weeks.
In February a gang Of white
men, under cover of night. at
tackled the cabin of several
negroes. They shot and killed
one negro aad set fire to his
cabin. Sheriff Lafargue and his
Deputies at once got into action
and the 20 arrests followed.
There has been no trouble
in that vicinity since.
