FLORENCE CITIZENS STARTLED.
Those who Took the Guns from the ar
rnory Arrested.

FLORENCE s. c., April THE GILL
zens Of Florence were greatly s'ai ~ =
this morning by the announcement ula'
the men who took the guns from the ar
rrorv here Friday last and participated
in the pursuit of the constaDles Wouiu
ha crested hv the militia. The disposi-
,ion was AT first TO resist, but the mll
methods adoptcd by the officers induced
the men to acquiesce in The actlon 'ahen'
Tho men who took the guns were sum ,
moncd to the courthouse. where Coloiiei
X g Evans. commanding In the an
eonce Of General Farley, had established
his headquarters. =,
They assembled there about 10 y. NJ.
and conferred with Colonel Evans ana
Major Joseph Wardlaw. They were asked
for their names and a roll was MADE.
Tho roll was then read with me request
that those who had entered the arnory
and taken the guns would respond as
their names were called. The following
five men responded: T.. f. DousIas, l.
r. Wallace. j. W. Hammond. ). T.. rem
darpast and T.. L. Pawley, all OF whom
are merchants. .,,..-.
colonel Evans made a short address
10 eaid that martial law was in force.
and mat he was ordered TO arrest these
gentlemen under it, AS 1t was not
desired to interfere with their business
he would place them on parole not 10
leave the city limits. and TO report 70
Major Wardlaw every morning at 10 a.
NJ The citizens held a consultation
with a lawyer. and no steps have yet been
taken TO oppose the action of the officers.
II is possible. however, that habeas cor
pus proceedings may be begun before
Chief-Justice McIver. This will largely
donend however. upon the action Of the
officers and the manner in which the
arrested men are treated.
The tents of the militia have arrived
but there is as yet no disposition TO pltch
them. Indications are that the force may
he Withdrawn before the end Of the week.
and possibly sooner. General Farley went
over to Bshopyille early this morning IL
is thought that his visit may have some
connection with the action OF the BISHOP
Vile Rifles in going to Darlington when
ordered and turning straight around ana
going home.

AN ACCOUNT FROM AN EYE WITNESS.
Mr.. Baird Tells About the beginning OF
Trouble at Darlington.

Mr.. ]. u. Baird OF Darlington, ). G.,
agent of the Fidelity Mutual Life Asso-
citation was in the city for short time
yesterday afternoon, and in CONVERSE
lion with a Dispatch man told OF the
recent shooting in that town. Mr.. Balrd
was present at the depot In Darlington
when Mr.. Norment, formerly Of virginia
WAS Killed, and was the first person TO
reach him thereafter. He gives the toi-
lowing version of the affair:
There was no feeling whatever against
the spies except one OF ridicule at first,
and no thought of bloodshed ever ehtereu
the minds of the citizens of Darlington
until provoked 10 madness by the action
Of the spies in firing on them. When the
first detachment of Tillman's spies reach
cd Darlington and started their rald
they confined their visits TO the houses
Of negroes and no one took any excep-
tons TO this. We followed them around
and laughed at them, but that was all
we intended to do. Governor Tillman
very greatly exaggerated the condition
OF affairs in Darlington from the first.
and his action had everything TO DO with
causing bloodshed. The spies had deter
mined TO withdraw from the town ana
everything had resumed its normal condi-
llDfl, k!it Val VI INC Suns iANAh 49,
companies armory being more In the ma
ture of a joke than anything else. when
trouble was precipitated by one William
Floyd a trial justice in Darlington. who,
under the pretense of being a conserya-
tive, had been sending iniiammatory mes
sages to Tillman trying to incite trouble.
ORIGIN OF THE FIGHT.
Young Rogers. hotel clerk. was at
the depot on business when the spies
arrived there in company with Floyd to
take the train, and Floyd walked up 10
him and demanded TO know OF him IL
he had said that he was traitor TO the
Conservatives. Upon Rogers giving him
an affirmative reply Floyd pulled out a
pair OF knucks and struck him over the
head. Two negro railroad hands rushed
out and attempted TO stop the fgA, but
the spies, about sixteen In number, drove
them off and told Floyd 10 give him
HI Rogers succeeded In getting away
from them and ran up town. In the
mean time a party Of US, about eight.
had gone down To the depot, but as
Rogers had taken a different route we
did not meet him. When we arrived
there we found the spies massed at one
end Of the depot platform. and we stood
talking at the other end. The platform
Is only about feet wide We had no
idea of having trouble. but had only
come down out Of idle curiosity Present
ly Rogers returned with several of his
friends and started down the platform
c,irsing Floyd. The Chief OF Police who
was In our party. caught him by the
arm and halted him. Floyd then came
up and said that he could not take any
such talk as that. McLendon, one OF
the spies. also came up and several words
ensued tstween him and young Redman,
who had advanced to aoast Rogers.
