AKKAl.ox, Knn., .Jan. S A courier ar
rived here at noon yesterday jnst in from
t'.e south line of the state, lio reports a
mntiing conflict between the fleeing des
peradoes wLo assassinated Sin-ii IT Dunn
and n armed jHis.se of pursuers. Accord
ing to his report t hero wore two wagons
loaded w itli titicen of the men jiartieijiat
iuK in the ' (aiiVim'' battle. They had been
camped in a Kiilch south of Springfield,
where they were discovered. They saw
their pursuer Rt about the sumo moment,
and then commenced the life and death
race, tor ten miles the two parties were
not within firing distance, hot just before
dusk the pursuing party came within less
than a quarter of a mile of the despera
does, and then the firing commenced.
Saw I our of Them Tumble.
This riintiiupr fiplit was kept up on a
level plain for a distance of four miles
Following one fusillade four men were
ween to tumble from their seats in the
waffoni, one in one and three in the other.
It could not be ascertained whether they
were killed or wounded. The pursuing
party finding that their jaded horses
would not carry them further, made a
detour of some half a mile to a ranch,
where they procured fresh horses and the
race wa resumed. The courier started
back from that, point. lie says t he pur
suit on party numberine; fourteen men would
follow the desperadoes into No Mans Land
if necessary and brin them buck dead or
alive. Another courier is hourly expected
and with news of a battle.

Another and new feature has been added.
William V. Dunn, the 17-year-old son of
the murdered Dunn, will return here
Saturday after bis father's burial for the
purpose of settling up matters, as he. sas
with a quiet air, but with a dangerous look
in his eyes. The six men who escaped at
the canyon battle huve openly declared
that they will hunt to the death every man
concerned in the disgraceful afVair, and
youitf? Dann has joined them. They feel
bitterly the murder, and this feeling is ia
tensifiod by f I.e knowledge that the lody
of the murdered sheriff was robbed rt
arms, wratch, jewelry and money, provii...'
that outlaws in fact must lie dealt with,
lie Engineered, the Raid.
A depi.fy sheriff brought in youneF.stes
at 10 o'cVn-h yesterday morn in?, lie was
one of the comparators, who planned the
murderinjl raid of Tuesday morning, and
his arrest brings into prominence . the
widespread organization formed for mnr
derous purposes. He was a sort of chief
engineer, making plans of the roads about
the marked victims' houses, which are
aaid to have Ixcn presented at the regular
meetings of the S:evens an 1 Stewart coun
ty Citizen's Alliance, and these pl.vis have
tw-en minutely followed. Deputy sherifiTs

PROSPECTS OF PUNISHMENT.
Little Hope of Conviction in Murder
discs An All. it k 1'roiiuMe.
The Arkalon justice is .jiected to hold
all who are brought before him for trial in
the district court, and while it is generally
conceded that under existing laws no con
viction can be had of any murderer no
matter how cold-blooded in this county,
a justice car. hold an accused man lor
several months, or tiii it has been demon
strated at three. Si p irate terms of court,
that a jury cannot lie empanelled. The
result is that ail anti-lio.I,i;i men are con
vinced that an ane-t or warrant issued by
the Amnion ju-l;ce of t l.e p, ;i, r.u.i

Looking for leper:ite Work.
The leaders of the ccni -iirators are now
being brought in. and it is feared that
their lollowtrs wili make a desperate at
tempt to rescue them. Adjutant General
Iloberts has become so thoroughly con
vinced of the probability of an attack that
he wired Governor Humphrey last night,
laid the facts before him and suggested
that more troops be sent to his aid. Xuere
are only twenty-live men in the company
remaining here, and tuis meager force
must not only guard the prisoners but
form a picket line about the town to guard
agaiust a surprise.
A. Bioodthlmty Society.
The organization which succeeded in
murdering Siierill Dunn Tuesday has been
formed in live of the tlx counties in Judge
Botkin's district, and the detectives who
succeeding in gaiuing admittance into the
secret councils say that members were
compelled to take an oath that they would
prevent Judge Botkiu from again holding
court, if by any human effort he could be
disposed of. If he remains in the district
there is not the slightest doubt but he will
be murdered.
ltotkin Fostponc Hi Court.
Should the trouble in this county be
passed over without further bloodshed it
will doubtless be repeated in the next
eounty wbicb the jud,;e visits to hold
court. Judge Botkin, instead of opening
his court at cpringfield, as he was expected
to do. came to Arkalon and went to Pratt
to attend the tuneral of Stiei itr Jjuiin. lie
