trong language to Hayes, whe struck
him a blow on the mouth, bringing
blood Hayes was st once arrested
and taken to the lookup" About
midnight a OBJ of armed masked men
went to the Town Sergeant and de-
manded the key to the LOCKOUT
which he refused to surrender, but
eventually had to yield at the muzzle

The mob then proceeded to the "loch
