been twice read, the troops charged upon
| the crowds, and cleared the streets tempor-
arily. An old man and two women, in

which many shots had been fired, were
arrested. They stated that three men had
| forced an entrance into the house and had
| remained there all night, firing from the
| roof. A bowling crowd escorted the pris-
oners to Jail. The mob to-day repeatedly
| fired upon the police A tavern owned by
