PRICE UPON THEIR HEADS.

Reward Offered for Arrest of Murderous Moonshiners. Governor Jones of Arkansas has offered a reward of SIOO each-for the arrest of the moonshiners implicated in the murder of the party of deputy marshals. The murder of the revenue officers was the result of a deliberate laid plan on the part of the moonshiners to exterminate all deputy marshals attempting to invade their region. The information given to the officres by one of the moonshiners arrested a week ago was for the purpose of decoying the officers back into the mountains in order to slaughter them. Attorney General McKenna has offered a reward of SSOO for the arrest of the murderers, and has authorized the expenditure of S2OO in payment of the expenses of the posse to be summoned by the marshal.
