IN immense numbers at the Sand Lots |
and by 2 o'clock, Notwithstanding the
crowds gathered in the streets. Over 10000 |
excited men were gathered around the
hostrum, shouting, cursing and calling for
the blood of Kalloch's assassin. Clitus
Barbour took the stand and addressed the
meeting, earnestly urging the workingmen
to await the arrival of Kearney before
taking further steps, The crowd, how
ever, were eager for action and listened
with bad grace to all arguments tending
to delay their vengeance. Barbour con-

tempted to excite the too ready crowd to
| deeds of violence, but was suppressed by
those on the stand. although the crowd
was with Maybell and cIamored wildly that
he should be heard. Other speakers
sought to quiet the people, assuring
them that in case Kalloch's wounda
proved fatal summary vengeance
should be taken on the murderers
This was the only expression that called
out the unqualified appreciation of the
crowd, which finally agreed to remain
quiet until Kearney's arrival. There is
no doubt that in the event of Kalloch's
death a determined effort will be made
to storm the Jail and lynch both of the
DeYoungs.
The crowd are waiting Kearney's ar
rival, which is anticipated with the great
est interest, as almost every thing will
depend upon the course he concludes to
adopt.
