Sacramento. Cal. March lS.-De-
spite the ultimatum served yesterday
on General" Kelly's army of the
unemployed that they must either
get out or be driven out. it seemed
probable today that the authorities
of Yolo county can not make good
their word, and the employment of
physical force will be postponed for
at least another "a hours.
The attitude of Sacramento coun-
~ is responsible for this change, its
officials refusing to aid Yolo county
in any way. Accordingly Yolo coun-
ty found itself confronted with the
task OF subduing the 700 embittered
men. many of whom carried a club
as well as grievances. with l20 dep
uties and early this afternoon there
was a growing disposition to not
force the fight.
The unemployed spent a tranquil
night and are in high spirits today,
as plenty of food is being contributed
by Sacramento labor unions.
