given to keep everyone back of the
ropes that had been stretched by the

cause any trouble. These speakers
were cheered and many of the Mexi-

ifs in charge of sheriff Peyton J. Ed
wards, appeared at the station to pre-
vent any effort being made to secure

people drifted away to their homes
and left the tired policemen in control.
