In the neighborhood Of Balls bridge.
This band was subjected to artillery
fire Monday afternoon. Al few Of the
rebels are holding out. Train com-
munication still Is Interrupted.

Sunday night. It is assumed that the
Sim Feiners still at liberty have
hidden their arms after using all their
ammunition and rejoined the ranks Of
peaceable citizens.
A shortage of food has caused much
distress but with the resumption of
almost normal conditions the COM
mittee charged with looking after the
needs OF the civilians is expected to
relieve the want in very short time.

The police were proceeding in motor
cars to Ashbourne, where the rebels

When virtually all the police had
been either killed or wounded the
