the troops are removed
TROUBLES WILL BEGIN AGAIN,
and no doubt coninue until the courts finally
decide all questions between the Bowmauites
and antiBowman factions. Mayor Bowman
has ia ken the necessary precautionary steps
to apply to the supreme court for a quo iOd1-

also ask for an order of supersedeas, pend

railroad company applied to Judge Snyder,
at Belleviile, yesterday afternoon, forJan in
Junction to prevent Mayor Bowman and the
city from interfering with their track-laylng,

the community prefer keeping them there
till the courts settle all disturbing questions.
Mayor Bowman telegraphed to the governor
this afternoon that the removal of the
Metropoltans alone will give the place quiet.
1T this we're done, he could then remove
most OF the deputy marshals, but if the
Metropolltans are not removed, order can
only be maintained by the presence of an
armed force. He also says if the governor
will furnish arms, a strong company of
good citizens will organize immediately The
