Der the same time. The work pro
ceeded without interruption for several
hours, when party Of negroes living
in the Nation appeared and demanded
they be permitted to go to work
at once. MIR. Rosseau refused to grant
their demand, telling them to walt
their turn with the rest Of the party,
whereupon one of the negroes swore
he would cut his cattle out right there
or die. With this the ARRAY began, in
which about 100 whites and bl ,cks were
engaged. Only one person was serl.

he will die. No blame Is attached to
the white men, rs they we've following
