that the mob is held In check, there is

d ARRESTING THE NEGROES.
Il A dispatch from Decatur, Ills, says
n many negro men who arrived today
4 from Springfield are trying to arouse
n their people and are urging them to go
back to Springfield and fight. Several
Of them have been arrested and wea-
pOns taken from them.
Unless the militia succeeds during
the day. in quelling the mob much
more effectually than has been done
up to the present time, it is feared that
The night will bring more serious trou-
bic than has yet occucrred.
BY o'clock tonight the First.
Fourth and Fifth infantry regiments
will be in the state capitol and the
disturbed districts of the city will be
under martial law.
The city Is comparatively quiet at
noon today but the atmosphere is
tense with suppressed excitement.
The burned district and the wrecked
Lopez restaurant near Fifth and Mon
roe streets We're meccas for sight-seers
by the hundreds. Sentries were posted
thick about the show places and kept
the crowds back from the negroes who
searched the blackened ruins for
traces Of former possessions. Scores
Of poor families lost their all in the
ms. and their condition Is such that
DE state has been compelled to come
to their relief.
