er is desired throughout the sue
ar region. Grinding will becom

o generally favorable for saving tn
remainder of the rice crop. III

shall county, KY. were thrown into
great excitement Ivy Il fusilade of bull
lets being fired into Mormon meeting
by some of the opposers in the neigh

the leg. The Mormon converts, fifteen
or sixteen. returned the fire. and more
hloodshed is feared. Less than a year
ago the Mormon church there was
burned and two elders driven away.
Since then the feeling has been high

declare they will continue to hold their

ty business men at the state armory.
At the same time it was decided that
the best interests of the city demand
the presence of troops here until all
possibility of another outbreak has
passed. With the exception Of three
eases of stone throwing yesterday was
one of quiet. Cars were operated on all
local lines in this city during the day
