No word has been received from Nc
Coy's Portland friends regarding funds
to pay the men, and this afternoon
Sheriff Driver took the afternoon train
for the purpose of enforcing payment of
the note. If payment is refused, the
sheriff proposes to commence suit at
once. The note it considered first class.
Mr.. Mccoy received an answer from
Parsons about 4 O'Clock yesterday. He
tried hard to secure the money to pay
the men, promising any kind of security,
and Parsons promised to do what he
could and answer by II o'clock today.
The answer, however, did not mature,
and Mr.. Driver goes this afternoon to
Portland.
We were in error yesterday in stating
that Sheriff Driver distributed number
of revolvers to bystanders, or at any
rate that number was small, and was
confined only to regular deputies, OF
which there were not more than one or
two. The sheriff placed great conf
dence in the law-abiding spirit OF the
men, and it was not misplaced. They
behaved handsomely, though none the
less determined to make Mccoy yield a
share of his treasure for labor honestly
performed.
The city band filed the air of early
evening with the charm of music last
night, serenading the successful candi-
dates of the day. The first call was at
the residence of Mayor Menefee, where
that gentleman was totally surprised by
the bewitching music Suddenly bursting
out in front of his Iesidepce. He re-
sponded with a neat speech, and the
serenaders turned their footsteps to the
homes of the other candidates. Messrs
Randall, Crandall, Kuck, Seufert and
Peters were visited, and their selection
as fitv officers complimented in this
pretty and old-fashioned custom. n
