The Excitement Intense

THE EXCITEMENT INTENSE.

Fifteen Alleged White Cappers Arrested at Palestine, Ark.

FOREST CITY, Ark., March 28.-- The arrest of 15 alleged White Cappers at Palestine, this county, on indictments rendered by the grand jury now in session has caused intense excitement. The trouble arose from the failure of some of the farmers to discharge their obligations to the merchants and the consequent foreclosure of mortgages held by the merchants.

This, it is said, led to the burning of a number of farmhouses owned by the merchants, and it is for this offense that the parties under arrest were indicted. It is feared that the intense feeling that has been engendered may result in bloodshed.
