All the officers Of the county, OF
the city. and of the township are
working in harmony in an effort to
protect Hot Springs from the wave OF
crime that seems to be general. said
Sheriff Webb yesterday afternoon,
and if the citizens of the city and
county will give us their cooperation
lin the matter Of reporting promptly
any suspects, l have no doubt but
that we viii be able to fulfill our
work
Sheriff Webb and party had Just
returned from a trip north Of the
city, where they had been looking UP
a clue that had been given relative
to the whereabouts of the men who
attempted to rob the store in Malvern
one week ago tonight, and who a few
hours afterwards shot and killed Con
stable Henderson Parker in complet-
ing their getaway
Chief of Police Ellison and Captain
of Police Howell returned yesterday
from Malvern, where they went fur
Their to confer with the officers of
that city, and also to take a good look
at the men who had the night before
been arrested at Prescott as suspects.
Both Ellison and Howell We're con-
WINGED, as were the Malvern officers,
that the men arrested were not the
ones wanted.
There had been little left to work
! on here relative to that case The
men might have started towards Hot
Springs after the first shooting, and
evidently were coming this way fast,
until they encountered Henderson
Palser and his brother, ard shot and
killed the former. after which they no
doubt changed their course. and as
the tragedy took place one week ago
tonight it is now considered as very
doubtful if they will ever be cap
tured.
How the fugitiyes ever made their
escape from the country without leav-
ing some substantial trace. is con-
sidered by the officers as both a cir
cumstance Of good management and
of good luck Also it leads TO faint
hope that perhaps the men are under
cover, instead of having left the c0un-
try. and may later be arrested
A general drag net order for the
arrest Of all suspicious persons has
been sent ont ny Chief Of Police Elr
son, and will be complied with strict
