Complaints poured into the office of

the strident tones of v. A. Swan as he
stood on Bush street and in the Swed-

hammered compatriot. Patrolman

when he stood before Judge Conlan
and pronounced his arrest one of the
outrages of the new century. His arms
swung like the limbs of a windmill and
his gestures made Clerk Jack Rice,
in proximity, f1dget uneasily. Instead
of defending the conduct that pro-
voked the policeman to scoop him in,
he severely arraigned the police sys-
tenn of this city as a whole and ac-
cused his captor of behavior utterly
unbecoming his uniform. Much more
he evidently was prepared to say when
the Judge abruptly stopped his oratory

ALL QUIET AT SPRINGFIELD.

! Town Under Control.
Springfield, O., March 10-This city
last Eight passed its first peaceful
night of the week While there was
much anxiety during the night, owing
to demonstrations in the afternoon
| and evening there is such a restoration
Of confidence today that normal con-
Aitio1 pervails.
Shops which have run short this
week and some forced to shut down
yesterday, are all running as usual
today Those who have been aug
mentiDg the crowds in the streets are
back at work, while Is companies of
militia occupy the public places and
the streets.
The trouble Started last Sunday
morning, when Richard Dixon, negro,
killed Officer Coils, and it ended to-
day with the impressive funeral SER
vices over the body Of Sergeant Coils
al st. Raphaels Catholic church.
General McMakin and Colonel
Meade, with 18 companies of militia,
have supplied patrols for the city so
that the entire police force, with all
the city and county officials were in
attendance. Some of the soldiers al
so attended. Only small part of
the ropulace about the church could
gain admission.
The mob-swept districts along the
leyee, the public buildings and all
probable points of trouble, are still
strongly guarded by troops. The west
side OF the levee which was raided
yesterday and completely dismantled
attracts more visitors than the burn
ed districts.
ALI the negro occupants of both dis
trlcts are gone and none know where
they are now. While no negroes were
out last night many are ON the street
today.
1t is known that many negroes who
have been unable to reach other cities
slept out in the country last night
There has been much apprehension
over what the negroes might do after
the troops leave, but that anxiety is
now less intense as both whites and
negroes seem to have had enough of
uiobs this week.
While the licenses of negro dealers
were revoked yesterday, all saloons
were still kept closed.
While the troops on duty last night
made the crowds move on and finally
disperse, the force Of the militia Is
mucn stronger today SO that the stu
alton is easily and well controlled.

God had told here that a certain cog
must be killed. The animal was
brought into the meeting house and
slain. Then she announced that she
had received another divine command
that cat in the village should be
put to death. The execution was car
r1ed out, but when she arose a third
time and declared she had been COM

cusslon was precipitated which broke
up the meeting.

ana seized the woman before she
could carry out the command.
