disorder, and no threats of summary
justice. 1t Is not believed here that
there will be an attempt to lynch the

aboard the special train, were not need

embarked. The sheriff concluded this
afternoon that the presence of militia
here was unnecessary, and the Bloom
dale Rifles were sent home this evening,
