Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Mullcan re-
ceived a telegram from Gaithersburg stat
ing that a large crowd of Coxeyites had
been elected from a train at that place,
were acting in very disorderly manner
and that some of them had been arrested;
that they had sworn vengeance against the
officers making the arrest and that por-
ton of them had started for this place. The
news created some excitement and uneaSi-
ness in the community, and a number of
citizens began examining into the condition
of their shotguns and other arms. An anX-
ious watch was kept on the public road
leading to Gaithersburg for some time, and
about q O'Clock portion of the supposed
beligerent crowd made their appearance
but in an orderly manner, and marched
through town to the fair grounds, where
they encamped for the night. There were
about twenty-five of them and they repre-
scented themselves as a portion of Kelly
Contir gent. from California. They denied
the story that there had been disturbance
at Gaithersburg and said there had been
but two or three men put off the train. They
were escorted through town by Sheriff Null
lican, Detective Lloyd of the b. and o. rail-
road and others, and the excitement soon
died away. Had they shown any DISPOSE
ton to be ugly they would have doubtless
met with warm reception. People i'm this
section are sick and tired of the annoyance
of this class of tramps and are not disposed
to stand much more foolishness
