these troubles one way or the other,
both factions have been here recently,
and both tell the same story, there
is bound to be something in the fears
that are expressed.
Gov. Noel has been advised that
Boyd one of the men implicated in
the Newman-Reynolds killing last
week and who was reported a few
days since as having surrendered to
the authorities. has not surrendered
at all, and is still at large. Sheriff
Jones does not seem to be equal to
the emergency-in fact, it is stated
that the sheriff has had to go to bed.
1t is now feared that there is going
to be fresh outbreakwhen thespecial
term of court is called, and it is not
improbable that troops will be called
for to preserve the peace during the
trial of the men charged with the kill
ing of Dr. Newman and Silas Rey-
nolds.
1t is also stated there is likely to
be trouble when the special election
is ordered or before the contest for
the succession in the office of chan
Gerry clerk, made vacant by the death
of DR.. Newman, is ended.
Gov. Noel is keeping advised of the
situation as we'll as possible, getting
reports from both factions, and hopes
to be able to keep down any outbreak
when court meets.
