to the drastic measures taken by the

make trouble. The negro was wound
ed, but it is said not fatally. The mill.
tia are keeping close guard on the jail
where Sylvanus Johnson is confined,
and it seems hardly probable that there
will be any necessity for the United

accused of assaulting Mrs. Margaret

of threats made by white men that they
would lynch Johnson.
The trial of Johnson will be contin-

will be some more shooting. The
militia, however, have taken good pre-
cautions and the sheriff and his men

the latter, by imposing upon its subjects
