ltefuge in i Cabin Which l hey Refuse
to Leave Alive, and Are Cremated.
Little Rock, Ark., March 11.—A
dispatch from Enterprise, lnd. Ter.,
says that a posse in pursuit of two
men who had stol i thirty horses in
the Choctaw nation, followed the
thieves for three days, finally sur-
rounding them ten miles east of that
place. The thieves refused to surren-
der and kept up firing, having dis-
mounted from their horses and
taken to the woods. The posse
pressed them closely and tne fight
was kept up for two or three
hours, botli pursuers and pursued
firing' as rapidly as they could load
their revolvers. One of the posse, in
trying* to head off the thieves, re-
ceived a bullet in his arm, shattering
it, and causing him to fall from his
horse. Finally the entire party
massed and charged the two crim-
inals, forcing them to take refuge
just at the edge of the woods in a
cabin. Here the thieves barricaded
themselves and defiantly proclaimed
that they would not be taken alive.
After repeated efforts to induce
them to give up the house was set on
fire. Still the men inside refused to
come out, although the roof was a
mass of flames. Thoy still threatened
death to any of the posse who ven-
tured near. At last the frame of the
building fell in, buryiny the desper-
adoes in the ruins, and they were
roasted to death in the burning build-
ing.

o'clock yesterday morning fire broke
out in the change room at the hoist

small villages scattered within the
scope of the strange and interesting

like fire, and tho thick gases rolling
down tin: mountain sides have set
aflame the grass and vegetation
clothing the sides of tho summit,
which adds to the density of tho
smoke and the grandeur of the spec-
tacle.
