EXPECTED RACE RIOT
DID NOT TAKE PLACE
No Attempt Made, as Threatened,
to Drive Negro Residents from
Normal City.
scIal to the Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 15.-Up to late to-
night there has been no sign of a dis
turbance in Normal City, the west suburb
of Muncie, where the colored families are
said to have been ordered to leave the
town by Friday night. S.
The trouble was the result of an attempt
ed assault made by William Hardin, a
negro, upon Mrs. Emmet Hogan, wife of a
prominent citizen of the town. 1t is thought
the forty armed and masked men who
warned the negroes were young men and
boys who would scare the negroes. but die
not have the courage 10 raise a disturbance.
The fact that Marshal Priest and Sheriff
w. n. Swain were prepared tonight for
any trouble also probably quoted matters.
Prosecuting Attorney Dearth said to-
night that as soon as Hardin serves his
Jail sentence he will be indicted by the
grand jury.
