Hail, tow business men of Crockett, were put under arrest by Deputy U.S. Marshal Phil Wagner and brought to this city last night. this morning the same officer placed under arrest Hyman Harrison, a merchant of this city. The gentlemen all went before court this morning and gave bond and were immediately released. The reading of the charge against the three men is interference with an U.S. officer in the discharge of his duty, but the Herald Reporter was unable to learn what the nature of the case is or when and where brought. The examination has been set for next Monday morning in this city, at which time the facts in the case will be developed. The arrests have caused something of a sensation. The Crockett gentlemen returned to their homes this afternoon, accompanied by their attorneys. {Submitted by a FOFG}
