Strong guards were placed over the Chronicle
business and printing Offices TO prevent them
from being sacked. NJ. II. Deioung who was

is now in company with Charles. For some
time it was uncertain what had been done
with the brothers many believing, that
they had been removed to Fort Alcatraz for
greater safety. but they are still at the prison.
At the request of a committee of working
men, headed by Clitus Barbour, their candi-
date for Congress, they were allowed to Sc
cial officers, to stay about the prison n see
that the DeYoungS were not taken away.
Pursuant to n call the ~wOrkingmcn are now

the DeYounGs he surrendered to them. and
If the demand Is not complied with will at
