leader among the negroes was choked
into insensibility and the others were
subdued, the trouble being averted
for the time at least Many arrests
were made. After the arrest of nine
OF the ringleaders the negroes began
TO leave the streets. Six more ne
groes were later arrested without trou-
BILE. Four hundred deputies were
sworn In with orders to shoot at the
slightest provocation. Not a negro
was to be found on the streets at s
o'clock Wednesday night The white
people are patrolling the streets, and
they say they are determined to rid
the town of bad negroes.
A report came from Lenapah, twelve
miles south of here. In the Indian Ter
