Crisp, prosecuting attorney for Ronton county, filed with the circuit clerk his information against seventy-eight defendants, who took part in the crusade at this place on the 7th of February last. Warrants were ordered to be issued at once for the arrest of all defendants and delivered to the sheriff.' Warrants were sent to tho sheriff of Caldwell county for the arrest of Richard Wear and wife, who live at Hamilton, and warrants were sent to the sheriff of Clay county for Mrs. Annie Carrnichael. wife of James L. Canuichael. leader of the crusade. A warraut was sent to tho sheriff of Lafayette county for J. L. James and one for James L. Carrnichael, Carrnich-ael, pastor of the Baptist church of this place, now 'nt his brother's at Odessa. Sheriff Burkcst of this county immediately went to Lathrop to make the arrests. The news had reached Lathrop before be-fore he had arrived, and the most of fhe crusaders knew that tho time of their arrest was at hand, aud for tho first time since the day of the crusade was the streets clear of them. About 2 p.m. not a crusader could bo seen anywhere on the streets. At that timo Sheriff Burkett and his two deputies, Phillips and Wright came into tho city. Sheriff Burkett went immediately to Prosecuting Attorney Crisp's oflice, aud after receiving instructions from him proceeded to make the arrests. Meeting Meet-ing A. McKcc, editor of the Monitor, that gentleman askod the sheriff if he had any news for him. The sheriff answered, an-swered, "I have," and read tho warrant war-rant to McKee, and informed him that he was under arrest for riot aud mall-eions mall-eions destrm tion of property. About two-thirds of t no defendants have been arrested. Everything was vcrv quiet when they learned that the officers were determined to do their duty, and all who refused to give bond would go to jail. Tne sheriff will return Monday and complete the arrests in this case. Bonds were given to appear me ltn inst. The difference in the looks and actions ac-tions of the crusaders were noticed by all.

He has in his possession photographs photo-graphs of all the parties engaged in the crusade. The information contains six counts. Civil suits have leen brought for the damages, and all the defendants in the two damage suits met at tho Lathrop La-throp bank this morning to confer with their attorney, Thomas J.
