grimly farcical. The idea that a court which
/ IL the mere creature of the usurper was going
| 70 DO any act that would be regarded by lis
master as unfrienoiy y was absurd, and no one
We Imagine, was surprised when the police re-
sisted the order OF Justice Houston a ID Judge
McArthur obtained an Injunction from Haw-

with the custody of the confscated propertv
Of this hign-handed outrage we can Only saw
that those who ylo ate the law, ana disregard

PIE thus outraged spirit OF lawlesSness and |
q contempt for the courts, which viii bear
bitter truit. These arms We're simply stolen
and Kellogg aud his mtnions have degener- ]

our duty 20 advise the people to protect them |
selves and their property As test they may /
