ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SACRAMENTO, April ~12.-Janes Lansing,
who was shot last night by Simon Ration,
died this afternoon. Soon after the death
of Lansing, about 600 persons assembled
in front of the international Hotel. De-
spite the efforts Of the police the crowd
declined to disperse. By 6 O'Clock a squad
Of men began to gather in front of the
City Jail. The number increased until 8
o'clock, when the Chief Of Police became
satisfied that it was %imprudent to depend
upon the small force at his command, and
therefore called upon the military authori-
ties to detail q guard from the First Regi-
ment Artillery, N. G.. G. This demand
was responded to, and at 9 o'clock four
companies Of the First Regiment, forming
a battalion under command of Adjutant-
General Backis, reached the Jail. The
police had kept the yard in front of the
Jail clear. and the military marched down
l street, clearing the sidewalk, and taking
up a position in the enclosure, directly in
front OF the police headquarters. The ap-
pearance of the military was a signal for
mingled jeers and cheers from the crowd,
which at this time numbered some !, 500.
Soon after the troops had taken up a posi-
ton, Mayor Brown mounted a wagon, and
in a brief, earnest speech exhorted the
crowd to quietly dispense, which they
slowly did.
LATER-All the military have been with
drawn, except a small guard, and every
thing is quiet.
