Especial Dispatch 10 The Post)
Miami, FLA. Juno 26.-Mcan whisky and
desire for notoriety caused some Of the
soldiers of the First Louisiana to attempt
20 run the camp last night. Dozens of
nen were arrested during the early hours
of today and in one or two cases officers
were compelled to resort TO extreme meas
ures to preserve order
The climax came when Private Joseph
Scott of Company NJ was shot and instantly
killed by citizen named Sigsbee, who is
said TO be an uncle of Captain Sissbee of
the navy. Scott threatened Sigsbee with a
loaded musket and then insulted tho lat
ters wife. Sgsbee was exonerated by the
coroner's jury, Compared with this sort
OF behavior, the conduct oil tho Texas
troops was most commendable
The censorship is even more rigid tonight
than 1t was yesterday.
