PUBLIC CALLS IT MURDER.
The presence of the troops has suf-
feed to maintain order thus far but
it is not depressing public opinion.
This is almost unanimous in condemn
ing in the most severe terms the action
of the deputies last night. Official
murder is the phrase on almost every
tongue, and for substantiation of the
charge attention is directed to the fact
that the deputies carried Winchester
rifles. each man having Il rounds of
ammunition, each revolver and a
box Of cartridges, while the marching
imously surrendered whatever weapons
they may have had before the march
was begun.
Moreover, the fact remains that many
of the victims were shot through the
back. Us

Many prominent citizens of the town
have drawn up an Informal protest,
not only against the action of the sher-
iff and his deputies, but against the
calling out the militia, which they
declare was unnecessary. In spite OF
this, however, the uneasy feeling in

their minds, as several of them said
today, to remain in perfect quietness
until Monday. At IL o'clock in the

Italians and four Hungarians will visit
