 Knows Where to Find Him

sibility and MT. caffrey knows where to find me"
 Preceding this statement two repre- sentatlves of each man in the dispute had held conferences and Mir Sanders friends had declared firmly they would not accept a challenge in accordance with the dueling code. because the lieu tenant governor could not violate the state law making dueling a crime.
 Next followed the posting of sev eral sections of the state by Mir. Calf fiery with hand bills stating that sat- isfaetion had been refused him by MT. Sanders. These hand bills dsclared that the lieutenant governor had called some of MT. Caffery's statements un- true.
 The discretion of both the lieuten- ant governor and MT. Caffery is relied on to prevent personal encounter. There arc fears. however, that the friends of the disputants may be drawn into a serious quarrel.
 Governor Blanchard, before leaving the east, announced that he would probably annul MT. Sanders procla- nation, which placed corporation con- trol before the extra session of the legislature.

it Is doubtful if these conservative abmoni- tions will be needed should any more of the participants in the game be brought to the city, because it is universally be- lieved by the people here that craps game was only a decoy to entrap officer Thompson, that the whole scheme was a plot against his life, and therefore that every negro who participated in the so-called game is equally guilty, and should have immediate and summary punishment. Especially does this view find supporters when it is suggested that this is the third white man who has been murdered at the locality by negroes, and In each case the guilty party has disappeared as If the earth had opened and swallowed him up, the neighboring negroes harboring them and refusing to give any information leading to their capture.
