of danger the Marshal according 10 MS
own testimony, deemed it necessary, TO
obtain military assistance TO aid in exc
cutting the process of this Court.
Upon the other hand, we find from
the testimony of numerous witnesses,
whose iUng residence in the county and
thorough and intimate acquaintance
with lis people, and high social stand
ihr and civil position entitle Their asser-
lions TO the fullest belief, that no unlaw-
iul combination to resist United States
officers in the discharge Of their duty
has any known existence III that county.
From the evidence before us We are
warranted in expressing the belief that
the rum0rs of danger to be encountered
in the execution OF process, III Lincoln
and adjoining counties, are without
foundation and false and that, 80 far as
the people OF Lincoln county generally
and the large majority of the defendants
in these land suits are concerned, any
legal process can be personally served
without actual danger or hostile demon
stration to the officer performing Tie
service. The general character OF the
people of the county for integrity,
honor and obedience to law, Is without
superior in the State. Several of the
witnesses before H. state voluntarily
that they would he PERFECTLY willing 10
90 alone and unarmed into any neigh
borhood in the county of Lincoln and
serve writs of eJectmcnt upon the de-
PENDANTS in these land suits, without
anv fear Of molestation oractual danger
an tie wears 1868 and 1866 a large
survey was actually made for the plain
tifis. in one of these suits, in the ter
ritorv now embraced in Lincoln, Logan
and Boone counties, and although the
surveyor sometimes heard rumors Of
danger lac completed his survey without
any m0,cStatlOn or personal difficulty
whatever. and never was aware of the
presence OF any actual danger.
We. therefore, fail to find. from the
testimony given before H., that cv," i|Ic
assistance Of posse j. actually 'yrr'-
sarv for the protection of the surveyor

Marshal in the discharge of his duty in
these eases. although We are well con-
