THE MARKET WAR.
Kellogg Takes Command.
Sheriff Dick and the Superior Court
Routed.

There were very few Of the private markets
open yesterday, as the butchers could not
risk any money in meat that the chances were
they woul not be able to dispose Of. There
were some few, however, who did make the
venture. There were several that suffered
and had their establishments closed and sew
eral that did lively business without moles-
tation.
Sheriff Dick succeeded in capturing the
Police Board and placing before them a
DEMAND FOR POLICE
to the number Of twenty-five, to assist him in
the execution of the writ of the Superior Dis
trict Court
The Board granted the demand, and it
was supposed that this morning the priva
markets would open under the protection of
the police, and it was asserted that the private
market men had whipped the fight.
Turnbull
on an attachment issued in the following rule
for contempt:
On motion Of f. Filleul Of counsel for the
several plaintiffs in the above said cause, and
on showing to the court that B. NJ. Turnbull
is actively violating the Injunction issued in
their different cases, and is continuously vex-
ing and harassing the several plaintiffs in in
junction, closing their establishments by
violence and force, obstructing the course Of
justice, and arresting and keeping in custody
the Sheriff entrusted with the execution Of the
order of this court.
1t is ordered that an attachment do issue,
returnable forthwith. and that B. NJ. Turn
bull do show cause forthwith why he should
not be punished for contempt Of the
authority of this court, and fined and impris-
oned during ten days, according to article
$685. Code of Practice, or until he shall signify
his obedience to the authority Of this court
He was eagerly sought for by the Sheriff in
the morning but could not be found, and the
impression got abroad that he had gone over
the lake. This, however, proved to b. mis-
taken idea, for at about O'Clock he was
CAPTURED
on Canal street, near or at the corner Of Royal,
by Deputy Sheriffs J. C. Golding and Michael
Noud, who refusing his request for time to
call ON his counsel, Judge Cotton, took him
Immediately before the Superior District
Court.
Court in short tine opened, and the rule
for contempt was read
Turnbull's answer to the rule was the same
as given to the previous one: that in his acts
he had notintended to commit a contempt, and
pleading against the jurisdiction of the court
and its authority 10 issue the Injunction
Hawk Ms was dignifed and stern, as becomes
the presiding magistrate of such court, and
sentenced Turnbull to imprisonment for ten
days in the Parish Prison and to pay fine
Of $5O-the full penalty Of the law.
The commitment was made out and Sheriff
Dick escorted Turnbull to the Parish Prison.
Ten minutes had probably elapsed when
PARDON,
which read as follows, was brought to the
prison:
STATE OF LOUISIANA.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
New Orleans, Aug. Fl, 1874
To the Sheriff Of the Parish Of Oftedns-Where-
as B. n. Turnbull was tried and convicted be-
fore the Superior District Court, parish Of Or
leans, OF the crime OF contempt OF court, and
sentenced to ten days Parish Prison and to pay
fine or $50; whereas for good and sufficient
reasons, have seen fit to grant reprieye and
pardon 10 the said B. NJ. Turnbull and also a
release Of said fine; now, therefore, you will
release the said B. NJ. Turnbull. and for SO delng
this will be your sufficient warrant and author
ity. WIN. p. KELLOGG.
By the Governor:
P. g. DEsLoNDE, Secretary Of State
It is asserted and believed that Turnbull
held this pardon in blank, SO that when just
such an emergency arose it could be obtained
without trouble or loss OF time.
This action was not the only one that kel
logg took yesterday. In the morning he saw
was that .'His Honor sent down instructions
to Sheriff Dick to return into court the in
junction and other writs.
The interview is described as having been
very racy. VIM. Pitt raved considerably,
and, to his shame be it said, swore some. He
gave Hawkins to understand that if he kept
on in his present ways, his head would go off;
and Hawkins retorted that he did not think
that VIM. Pitt would dare to take it off. He
knew too much, and, if he get mad, might
squeal That kellogg's talk had the intended
effect, however, is de nonstrated in the pro-
ceedings above set forth.
Kellogg also interviewed
THE POLICE BOARD,
and the order detailing twenty-five men to
Sheriff Dick was revoked.
The result OF the fight yesterday is a COM
plete victory for Kellogy-he made it his
fght-and the public market men under
Turnbull.
The injunction, as long as Hawkins holds
