Great Excitement!
"NARY RED FOR NARY BROKER ~

"N4RY RED FOR NARY BRoKER!p
Our city is.now the scene of more than
ordinary excitement. This morning an ar :
rival of brokers was discovered by our citi-
zens, as also was the fact that these brokers
intended to draw considerable amount of
specie from the State bank. So soon as
this was discovered, a large number of citi-
zens determined that the game should be
choked off at the commencement. By way
of indicating their designs, long and
rather rough fence rail was placed on one
side large bucket of tar and brush with
which to apply it. The rail bore this in
scription:
'NARY RED TO NARY BROKER"
At about ten o'clock broker made his
appearance, but such was the crowd that
he could not get near enough to the coun-
ter to present his bills, and he was soon
convinced that he had better leave town as
soon as possible. Although no violence
was offered or threatened, he concluded to
take the back-track. At this moment the
Bank is safely guarded by citizens, and woe
to the speculator who persists in his nefar-
ious business. The bank is willing and
able to pay all drafts, but the citizens are
determined that the illegitimate business
of brokers shall be checked, and that no
money shall be paid out to this class of
persons or their agents.-Springfeld Non
