Complaint also filter in daily from
the mining camps coming from whites
and negroes alike. Each race seems
to be distrustful of the other in these
communities and Sheriff Warner il
puzzled as to how to cope with the
situation. Arrests for lntimation would
be likely to become the cause of open
ruptures in his opinion, and he also
hestltates to send any considerable
force of deputies to these points lest
similar results follow. Thus far, how
ever, there have been no occurances
to justify the fears of the small town
residents. The city was guarded to-
night by deputy sheriffs and police
with the Seventh infantry held in re-
serve. Colonel Moriarity split his COM
mand into small units and distributed
these about the city in the vicinity of
the danger spots. II had been the or
iginal plan to hold the entire regiment
in camp but Colonel Morarity ex-
planned to the sheriff that quicker as
sistance could be rendered If the
troops were posted at the strategic
points. The usual details of General
Skaters cavalry were held in reserve
at the arsenal and Jail.
There was a decreased number of
refugees at the arsenal tonight. The
negroes were told that the proper time
to re-establish themselves in their
homes was while troops are still here
and this argument prevailed in many
cases. But none of the blacks went
to their homes with smiling faces.
There were fears in their hearts and
anxiety marked their features. In
their homes few lights were shown
after nightfall, absolute quiet and
darkness being depended upon to de-
ceive night prowlers as to the pres
ence Of the families. one of the ref
ugees at the arsenal was a woman
whose white skin betrayed only faint
traces of negro blood. She was ac-
companied by fair haired boy about
five years old

rowdies, who might kill our boy. So
