now at work. Contractor Bennett
called on Mr.. Word before going to
the grounds and signified his willing
ness to accept the terms as proposed
by the sheriff. This quieted the agi-
tation, and unless other difficulties
arise. peace Is assured.

made on either side" said the sheriff
this morning. 'The trouble all rose
