groans For fifteen minutes the firing was in
cessant, and continued during the rest of the
hour. The republican and democratic parties
had each selected to-day as the most suitable
time for the grand demonstration of the cam
pagn, and, at an early hour this morning,
both parties commenced their preparations.
The leaders were evidently DESTROYS of avoiding
disturbances, and the respective parties formed
in procession and passed each others place of
meeting without an outbreak, and nothing hap
pened until after the meetings had adjourned
and the procession reformed.
CAT five P. NJ, both parties met on the plaza
exchanging defiant UiUds. A pistol shot was
fired, when a general fight ensued Men, wo-
men and children hurried to their houses but
the fight was kept up from windows and house
tops. The dead and wounded were falling on all
sides. Hon. John Leman, republican candidate
for judge, was the first killed. The balance of
the killed are mostly Mexicans. Another fight

wounded The people are terribly excited here
