! been taken to keep company with the four
previously incarcerated. The jail is very in

the prisoners being taken to Evansville for
| safe keeping. Hearing that militia had been
ordered from Evansville the 9:2O A. M. train
| was stopped by the mob mile before reach

! soldiers, the train was permitted to pass on.
