two men on the bridge shortly before
two o'clock. They were at the op-

ran when ordered to halt. The
watchman hurried across the bridge,
hiring several shots, which were re-

with several deputies and removed
the dynamite. A general search is
being made for the men.

the Moor threatened 80 turn the lions
