cleaning of the streets has been ac-
complished during the past week. A
number of carts and men have been
employed in gathering the refuse from

NEGROES THREATEN A RIOT.
What threatened to be a riot was
narrowly averted at an entertainment
which was being held by some colored
people in the west tend of the town.
Some of the colored men connected
with the race tracks attended the en-
tertainment. They became disorderly
and were requested to keep quiet. They
were angered at the admonitiOns upon
which they were seized, and forcibly
elected through a window. After get
ting outside the gang drew revolvers
and fred a number OF shots, none OF
which took effect. Finally the unruly
crowd was dispersed, not, however,
until the threats of returning to FIN
ish" the difference, were made.
