ment at hard labor and three
months confinement In reforma-

town the people assembled in
the public square and had an in
dignation meeting, at which speech
es were made conveying threats to
lynch both the mayor and the mag
istrate.
The sentiments expressed by the
speakers met the unanimous approx
al of their hearers, and the crowd
proceeded to the court house where
the offending magistrate was sitting
and advanced upon him with men
acing cries and gestures. AS the

oughly alarmed, and, in words
whose tremulous utterance betoken-

his wishes the lieutenant, mad with !
disappointment and grief, drew
