Especial to The Statesmanl
BR )wNwooD, Dec. lily esterday
was very awful day in Brownwood.
About 8 O'Clock in the morning it was
announced that over two hundred
fence-cutters were in arms, and had
determined to lay Brownwood In
ashes and kill some of its citizens. All
the citizens were Immediately notified
and flew to arms, and the opera
house was 1T once converted
into an arsenal and couriers
were sent out into the country and
said that the men were coming in
from ali quarters and joined the citi-
zens in defence OF the town. Scouts
were sent out, and one returning
coroberated the first alarm. The citi-
zens intended to fight to the bitter end
for their lives and property. At an
early hour the signal of the wire fence
cutters were given and they came
struggling in from all directions and
most of them carrying Winchesters.
About II O'Clock the fence cutters,
partly headed by j. b. Scruggins, of
this county, came riding into town by
twenties and thirties with Winchest-
ers hanging from their saddles. They
were Immediately met by Sheriff
Adams who commanded them to lay
down their arms, which they did. He
then carried them into the court house
where he made an address to them, in
which he desired to know their inten-
sions, ETC., by them coming into town
in the manner they did and advised
them to lay down their arms and re-
turn home peaceably. There were
some very violent speeches. Mr.. G.
IL. Jenkins made very appropriate
speech, which greatly quieted the ex-
citement of the crowd.
Finally committee was appointed
to confer with the citizens party, who
were in the opera house heavily
armed, and were much smaller in
number than the so-called
fence cutters, but they were
determined set of men, and decided
not to yield to any demands of the
other parties, who were asked to re-
tract what they had said. The peace
committee, who went out on a peace
commission last week, visiting the
persons Supposed to be implicated in
fence cutting, had SAID that fence cut
ting must be stopped. But the clti
zens, much fewer in number, were
brave men and would not be
humbugged by this people. They
would not apologize to them as they
demanded, but explained the object of
the visit, which was to see to
law and order and the putting down
the fence cutting. Finally the other
party agreed to cooperate with the
pasture men and opera house
parties in bringing the cutters of any
more fences to justice. The fence
cutter meeting $50 called) was ad-
journed. and they went home. After
they had quit the town, the citizen
party disbursed and quiet was re-
stored.
The telegraph wire was gotten out
of working order in the heat of the
excitement.
About o'clock tonight J. d. Kin
hebrews Ws-lammoth stone Touring
mill was discoveries in flames. In
less than an hour it was total loss,
with the adjoining building, occupfeG
by Mr.. McClelland as a grocery store.

saved. Loss about $15,500. Insured
for $4,000.
