Horse Thief Arrested,—On Thursday
last, a man calling himself William Owen,
was arrested at the Nucleus House by officer
Oldham, charged with stealing a horse at
Fort Smith. Lewis Denton identified Owen
as the thief, and the horse which Owen had
in possession and had tried to sell, as the pro
perty of a citizen of Fort Smith. Mr. Den
ton was herein pursuit of the thief. Owen
was committed to prison, and shortly after
secured the service of a lawyer. On Friday
morning Owen was brought before Justice De
•woody, who, after hearing the merits of the
case, remanded the prisoner to the charge of
the officer, to be conveyed to Sebastian coun
ty for trial.
On Saturday morning, about 2 o’clock, Mr.
Denton was arrested on a warrant sworn out
by J, B, Cooper, charging him (Denton) with
having threatened the life of the prisoner, and
was commuted to prison. He was tried on
Saturday morning before Justice Dewoody,
and promptly acquitted. Had our citizens
known of the arrest of Denton he could have
given any amount of security for his appear
ance, instead of being incarcerated—but his
arrest having occurred at a late hour, it was
unknown, except to u few. Gur people look
upon Mr. Denton’s arrest, under the circum
stance, as an outrage.
On Saturday morning, Mr, Denton, with
others, started te Fort Smith with the priso

ly, but not dangerously wounding him. Cooper

Whenever a man call himself a
Democrat, and is loud-mouthed in villifi
caiion of the Administration, it may be
set down for true that he is a decapitated
squatter, a disappointed office-seeker, a
| defeated candidate, or a broken down po
litician, who hopes by a general disrup
tion of parties to retrieve his ruined for
tunes. “Combs’slab" is made up of just
such men. — [Kentucky paper.

Hope and Despair.—The Burling
ton Sentinel, a Douglas paper, says all that
keeps the Breckinridge party together is
hope. Well, that is something, in fact not
a bad thing, to live on. The Douglas par
ty has not even that; but is reduced for
breakfast, dinner and supper to a singfe
dish—despair.
