imbued with it appear to stand l.. such
wholesome fear of the reckless shont-

entire sutficiency of rushing into the

1t is the general opinion that there
will be no further trouble, although re-
ports of meeting of socialistic organiz =
tions and Indignation meetings of la
boring men to condemn the action of
the militia, and rumors of dynamite
and nitro glycerine bands to be brought
into play, are rife. But in ali pr0ba-
bility these rum0rs are without tUuuda-

against the two companies in

A recommendation embracing this

The sole motive of the mass of that
ob on Friday night was to get the
urdererS and hang them. On Satur-
" night the motive was revenge for
g loss of their comrades. Yesterday,
