that ffteen or twenty OF the negro

the first shots fred into the town were

at least from the upper galleries or the
barracks.
The testimony further shows that
the troops then came out over the
walls, some OF them perhaps going
through the gate, and advanced a ais
lance OF 800 yards or thereabouts into
the town. During their advance they
shot into two hotels and some nine or
ten other houses. Three OF the private

were thrown fifty feet in the air and

ensue. But this was prevented by the
heroic work Of the fire department,
which turned out in force after the

not known.

by the smoke. and the
who stepped on the match,
