CRIMES And CASUALTIES.
A CIRCUS ATTACKED.

Eight or ten circus employees were shot,
some seriously. Charles Henderson, one
of the proprietors was shot in the eye and
heart, and one of the drivers shot from his
wagon. A portion of the wounded were
taken to the Office of DR.. Wilson and their
injuries attended to. The police made no
arrests. A committee of citizens requested
the sheriff to restore order and call
out the militia if necessary
to suppress an outbreak. He
summoned posse and waited upon the
proprietors of the show and rendered his
services. Under their protection the re-
mainder of the wagons proceeded from
the show grounds to the depot without
being molested. All the wagons were
loaded. At 8 o'clock this morning a special
train started for Cambridge, and with a
physician in charge of the wounded. No
arrests are yet made. Several private
residences and places of business were
riddled with bullets. Breech-loading
guns and revolvers were the weapons used
by the mob who we're dissatisfied with the
show. A dispatch from Cambridge, where
the show exhibits tomorrow, states there
is no hope of the recovery of Henderson.
