1t would be impossible in this atfida-
Wit to tell all the precautions that were
taken to bring that paper OF Wednes-
day before the public. DavenpOrt's 8
maIshals, despite all the
that had been entered into, surround
ed the neighborhood in which Truth
is printed, secretly entered what they
had the day before known as the COM
posing room of Truth, and hung in
gangs of five at the very door of the
press room of Truth. Truth, however,
had prepared itself. Twelve police of.
| ficers, in citizen's clothes, were locked
in Truths press room. AS the night
wore on the paper did not appear, fol
we were convinced that should it not
appear as the Hon. MARSHALL Jewell
had expected it would, the raid would
under all circumstances be made. fol
