THE RIoTous ANN AREoR STUDENTS.
An Ann Arbor specia! Of Nov 18th
says: Saturday evening three hundred
students, members of the great univer-
Office at mail time, and, conducting
themselves in such u boisterous man
ner, pushing and crowding citizens from
the sidewalk, that it was found neces-
sary by the police to raid them. Dur
ing the fracas several students had
their heads battered, which 50 exasper-
atcd the others that they threatened re-
tnliatioA. "For the campus" shouted
the leaders, "Let liz organize, and
clean out the officers; and away they
marched. When the grounds were
reached the number had increased to
seven hundred. In the meantime
Mayor Smith was consulted by Chief
johnson ~ to the best course to be
pursued. 1t was decided at once TO
deputize force sufficient to preserve
order. A call was made on citizens,
who responded, and in less than half
M hour one hundred and fifty stout,
able-hodied fellows congregated in
the basement of the opera house await
ing orders. In their haste to pre-
pare for business they selected ali kinds
of weapons for defense. Some were
armed with revolvcrs, and others with
canes, clubs, or aXe-helves, fully deter
mined to prevent II repetition oil Thurs
day nights occurrence. Ii was an
easy matter for six hundred men to
attack Rapalje's bagnio, but they were
completely oowed over the fact that
they would be warmly received las
night if they vonturcd on another
raid. The students sent scouts out,
who, learning Of the full preparations
that had been made, carried the news
back to the campus, when the crowd
soon dispersed, and scarcely student
ventured on the streets after 8 O'clock.
Should All outbreak occur the fire bell
will be rung, calling tho citizens to-
gether if their presence is needed to
assist the police.
