How the Fight Commenced In Ar.
kAnSaS.

On Tuesday Colonel Rose was sitting on
bis horse in the middle OF the street When
the band ceased three cheers were given for
Colonel White, and he made short speech.
Addressing the Governor, he stated that the
colored men had come here 10 see that Bax.
ter was reinstated in the State House, and let
it take one day or one year they would stand
by him. All they prayed for were orders to
take the State House.
At this time there was again the widest
cheering, and the band commenced playing.
! just then Colonel Rose rode up to Colonel
White, and said something to him about
making hostile demonstration, when some
one in one OF the upper windows Of n build
ing fired shot into the Baxter crowd,
which MAS rapidly followed by others from
the direction OF the crowd standing In the
street near the Metropolitan Hotel. This
action caused the Baxter men to return the
| fire. The colored troops rapidly retreated
| from the streets.
| Firing was very lively for few minutes,
| the Baxter men running up the street.
Amidst this Colonel Rose rode rapidly to the
| City Hall, called out bis company, harricaded
the street temporarily with hook and lad
der truck, and his men behind had to form
across the street in solid column to prevent
an advance by the Baxter mep.
! About two hundred shots were fired. The
street was cleared Of men in short time
| Several Baxter men were wounded. Major
D.. +. Thrall, who was at the Anthony House
received wound in the head from which
he is not expected to recover.
General W. A. Crawford received a painful
wound in the head, though it is not fatal
One or two Others were slightly hurt. Ii
the midst of the excitement the United State:
troops at the Federal Courtroom and two
pieces of artillery were removed to the corner
Of Twenty second and Louisiana streets, anc
prepared for action. ....
General Newton mounted his horse ant
got all his men out on various streets ready
to repel any attack. Since dark the me1
have marched back to their quarters, ant
the excitement is about over. During thu
excitement colored woman jumped out o
a second.story window Of the metropolitan
Hotel and broke her leg.
