m arms orcioy II they were not quietly yielded up.

ihgs, denied the right of the United States Marshal
TO seize the arms; but for the sake Of preventing
Violence concluded to issue an order to the Marshal
OF Police to deliver the arms. This was accord
lngly done, and about o'cock in the afternoon, a
squad OF one hundred soldiers marched from the

petrated ?"
