that Sheriff Harvey had reached the
limit of his patience in regard to the
marching of large bodies Of men, and
that he has determined that the
marcherS must obey his request to re-
main within the pale OF the law or take
the consequences. 1t is known that he
feels he has been as lenient with the
crowds as he could possibly be, and
that the action Of several hundred men
IN running across the property of Gal
vim Pardee & Co. at Lattimer yesterday
has had much to do with the decision
TO be more stern hereafter.

up, and all telegraph operators on the
