We havn't been able to get any par.
ticu!ars of the shooting. In fact. no

it is safe to say, that game Of craps
and red liquor were the principal
causes.

-" Where were the Marshals last
Saturday nighty" was an oft rsl,eat.
ed query during the week. Well,
we don't know; suppose they were
out in the country taking q rest. At
sll event, there was 4 great deal of
drunken rowdyism and racket car
ried ON nearly all night long, sevc-
raj pistols fired off, and no one was
arrested. There was no political
demonstration on hand, either. 1t
would seem that among q certain
class of colorcd people, the idea Oh.
tains, now that q republican admin.
istration has been elected, they have
q right to carry pistols and raise oil
the sand they're = mind to, and are
not to be molcsted. This is q grave
mistake. Pull 'em in, Marshal, and
teach them that the laws are always
in force, no matter who is crushing
the presidential chair.
