last, the streets Of Sonora were crowded by
inhabitants Of the different towns in Tuol-
umne county. 1t had been rumored that
on that day McCauey anl Davis were to be
forcibly taken from the jail and hanged
and 1t was in consequence Of this rumor that
the people were brought together. The day,
however, passed off without any distur-
bance. Considerable feeling was NANTES
ted in relation to the respite granted TO the
prisoners. In the evening OF that day, a
meeting was held, at which Mr. George VI.
Bond, whose son was murdered by McCaul-
ey, counselled the assemblage to let the law
take its course. The object Of the meeting,
according to the Sonora Htraii, was to ''as-
certain the general sentiment regarding the
stay Of proceedings in the case. Of the Grim
inals above mentioned" The Hero}I also

manifested in relation to the many hurtid
murders, perpetratei in that county during
the past year.
