medialely after this truce had been
agreed upon, general quiet prevailed.
Our reporter made II reconnaissance |
OF the different forces about IL o'clock.
He found Governor Baxter surrounded
at the Anthony house with heavy
guard. The Walt block also contained
company on two. Another company
was stationed In the second story ofthe
Odd Fellows building; another one or
two at the Conway house, on Scott
street two or three In the Ditterbl0ck;
and another, col0red, In the second
story Of the Cleburne house. The re-
mainder of the troops were stationed
around at various places. The federal
troops commanded Main street, and IL
was generally considered the line, Sew
eral of Governor BaXter's men, who
were caught beyond Main street, were
arrested and taken to the state house
by struggling Brooks men. On the
other hand several Brooks men, who
encroached on Governor Buxter's side,
were arrested. Moses Reed, the SON
in-law of Mr.. Brooks, was gobbled
about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, by
detachment Of Baxter men ut the
Cairo and Fulton railroad depot. Mi
merous other active Brooks men were
taken In.
At the state house, no guards were
visible outside Of the grounds. Inside
the barracks large numberof negroes
were seen--a among Others some cOl0red
women. Considerable additions were
being made TO their commissary de-
partment. A few men could be seen
IN the rear Of the building, but the
main force was in front. Occasionally
the head of II man could be seen in one
of the upper windows.
1t was generally understood that a
hundredadditional federal troops would
be down by the st. Louis train this
morning to assist in preserving the
peace. .g fF&

his horse striking one or two OF the
members of the band as he made his
way through them, knocking them
down. He asked Colonel White, AS

replied in the negative, but said to the
colonel that he had no right to ride
over his men in that manner. A few
hot words followed, Colonel w. re-
