DARLINGTON, April 3.-Spy Nc
London has been located after be-
ing missing for 3 days. He is not
seriously wounded and is now at tho
house OF Colonela Woodham, OK
Confederate soldier and Tillman-
ito, living at Stokes Bridge. A war
rant has boon issued for him and
and two deputies, c. w. Milling
and J. G. Blackwell sent to servo it
mounted on fast horses. They
wore instructed to proceed hastily
and failing to get the man return
with speed. Information brought
in early in tho afternoon by DR..
Wallace, resident of Stokes
bridge, a Tillmanite, but said he
deemed it his duty to tell where Nc
London WAS, as he had escaped from
jail charged with serious crimo.
He told Mayor Dargan that
Colonel Woodham had the assist
ance of largo number of Tillman-
ties who promised in case tho Dar-
lington people should attempt to
take McLendon away that they
would be led by Col .Woodham and
had arms and ammunition. Tho
Mayor told DR.. Wallace he wanted
friends and foes to know ho had no
desire for anything but justice in
demanding the apprehension that
justice must DO accorded. At the
suggestion of DR.. Wallace he sent
his views in writing to show to the
people to prevent a clash.
His statement is as follows: "To
all our friends in this County and
Ill any other that represent tho
people Of Darlington, I most ear
nsstly request that no violence be
done to any constable, and most
espacially to wounded Constable
McLendon.
wv. #. DARaAN, Mayor,
This Wallace took with him to
exhibit to tho conservatives and
(Tillmanites and was asked to coun-
sol people to refrain from any do
monstrstion in behalf of tho Dar.
lington people.
! Matters were in process Of adj
}justment and the mayor hoped to
see peaceful contamination OF
trouble. Tho deputies carrying
the warrant left town quietly with
their mission unsupported. Only
few of mayor Dargain's friends
and two or three newspaper men
knew Of it.
General Richbourg was not in
formed, and was not to be, unless
McLendon's friends refused to give
him up. when Dargan would ask
for military help. He will request
that a Tillman company of militia
ry be sent to enforce the law, which
tho Tillmanitss arc breaking.
This will throw all responsibility
on the governor and his friends.
Dargan promised, through depu-
ties that Nc London would bo pro-
tectsd if put in jail here and that
they might accompany prisoner
here if they chose. Tho deputies
had twenty miles to go to stokos,
bridge. and having loft at half past
four this afternoon, arc hardly OK
pectsd before midnight. 1t begins
to look as though tomorrow would
bring some complication.
