FRESNO, Aug. 1S.-The result Of the
raiders meeting with the sherifrs posse
this morning, seemed to have an excel
lent effect, at least temporarily. The
officers are determined to drive the raid
ers out of the country if possible. Fully
800 Cinnamon quit work on the nurser-
les and vineyards yesterday and came
to town with their effects, including the
IL expert builders from Rceding's nur-
sery. They have oil become thoroughly
impregnated with fear and could not be
induced to remain at their work. About
75 white men we're taken out to the
vineyards yesterday.
The sheriff has learned of a rumor
that another raiding party Is out on the
Carterville road, and has gone IN pur-
suit with posse.
THURSDAY NIGHTS RAIDERS.
Last night 60 men started for Roed-
ing's nursey, seven miles west of here.
to force the Cinnamon employed there to
leave. Sheriff Scott and armed posse
went in pursuit Of the men and overlook
them near Roeding's. The sheriff read
the riot act to the raider 8. taking the
names OF the leaders and making all re-
turn to town, where they arrived at 2 80
this morning. Some of the raiders were
armed and inclined to be warlike, but
soon subsidized. The sheriff says he will
arrest the leaders.
A PERMANENT CHECK.
1t is thought that permanent check
was put last night to the Wholesale raids
on Chinese in the vineyards by unem-
ployed white men. At midnight Sheriff
Scott, with posse of IL men, went out
to intercept the mob that had raided the
Fancher creek nursery and was
driving the Chinese to town. The
sheriff intercepted them and liberated
so Chinese and Japanese and sent them
noun nounced w that he VIII Arrest s any % persons
.--i---sf..iIr > Interfering with Chinese.
One OF those assaulted at Wahl's vine
yard will die. The officers are searching
for those who assaulted him.
A CHANCE TO EARN BREAD.
The idle men were put to work picking
up bricks where the Masonic temple
was burned. Piling up 300 bricks gives
three meals tickets; that is all one man
will be allowed to do each day. Forty
men can work at time. Many
are going into the country to
work for their board a few
days till grape picking begins. There
will be no trouble in finding work for all
the men now in Fresno, but no more
men are needed and if they come they
will not be g;uen employ ment. Men
here who will not work when given a
chance will be driven out or put in the
chain gang.
MEETING AT MADEIRA.
An enthusiastic anti-Chinese meeting
was held at MADEIRA tonight. Resolu-
tions were adopted to the effect that the
Chinese must go, and also to send abroad
for 100 white men to work on the fumes
and in the timber. e
