in the past. Had the law been
passed Jan. l, no licenses would
have been taken out. Simple
justice demanded that the Coun.
Gil grant their request or refund

DR.. G.. A. Martin also spoke in
favor of granting the petition.
A. NJ. Martin asked that the
request be granted, urging that
the help of all citizens was need,
ed in building up the town and
that the voting of a tax for a
new railroad would soon come
before the people and that har
mony among the citizens of the
town was necessary.

was one of the signers of the pc
tition and charged the Council
with having delayed the enact

 The Italians who composed the camp, were part of those who were forced to leave their homes in -Natalbany, where a hundred or more Italians were em- ployed as laborerS in the saw mills be- fore the trouble started. Everything was quiet this morning, with the Itai- ians scattered4 through the settlements of their fellow countfymen in this vii cinity, and sherin Saal left for the Parish seat, turning the town over to several deputies
 An incident which came near caus- ing more serious trouble, occurred sew eral hours- after the sheriff had left.

He was followed to his home on the side of the ratlroad by a deputy and several citizens who cen sured him for an act that was likely to cause another outbreak clash then ensued between .Tessatoia and the dep uty and shots were fired, Tessatola es- caping during the melee. Shots were also fired at the deputy and his com panions from store nearby. The store was forced open and Charles Pa rino, another Italian. was found in- side. He was placed under arrest and lodged in jail:

The authorities here believe they have the situation under control, and that any Americana who have threatened to lynch Italians will be forced to keep the peace. allowing the foreigners to return peaceably to their homes.
