shot down these gentlemen, who rsfrained
from shooting as the streets were full of
boys and men not connected with the diff
foulty, and to have fred would have killed
many Innocent men and boys. 0ne of the
negroes was apprehended.
The city council, at its meeting to-day,
resolved, after investigation into the

difficulty was the result of personal al

that the friends of both parties were
| drawn into the conflict, but that neither
politics nor race prejudice actuated either
