Monks, Again.

 

It is rumored that Monks, the Missouri outlaw, is at West Plains, Mo., with about three hundred men, which he secured from the Governor of Missouri under the false pretense, that that State was about to be invaded by one thousand Arkansians.  It is reported also, that he murdered four men in Howell County, Mo., on Friday night of last week, and has since murdered two or three men in Fulton county, this State.

 

These reports were received here several days ago, and as nothing reliable has been received since, we are led to believe they are unfounded.  For the sake of good order and quiet, we hope they are.
