train bearing refugees concealed in a steel gondola was fired upon by ne grces who had climbed trees beside the railroad tracks where it runs thru dense cane brakes. None of the refu- gees was hit.
 Helena was closed tight fast night even the drug stores being closed, and women and children kept within doors
 From three to five armed citizens pa trolled each block in the downtown and residential districts of the city and small army awaited at the Phil lips county court house to respond to emergency calls.
 Rifles and shotguns with ample sup plies of ammunition were received from Memphis and other cities and the courthouse had the appearance of an arsenal.
 County Judge H, D. Moore, in charge of matters in the absence of Sheriff F. F. Kitchens. who has been seriously i'll, sat at a desk with tel ephone at his elbow and kept in con- stant communication with the posse leaders at Elaine. At one time he re- ceived an urgent message from one leader at Elaine to have a hundred men in readiness to dispatch on spe- cial train. The message said that ne- groes were assembling in force, and that another battle appeared to be imminent. Judge Moore immediately arranged with Assistant Superintend- ent J. D. Moore of the Missouri Pacific Railway here, to send a special train to Elaine at moments notice. An hour later another message came from Elaine stating that the situation was unchanged and all was quiet except for an occasional shot or challenge of a sentry, and this condition continued turnout the night.
 No uneasiness is felt about condi- tions in Helena. So far as known nv negro here has any connection with the trouble at Hoop Spur and in the vicinity of Elaine. At meeting of white and negro ministers yesterday perfect harmony prevailed and mutual confidence was exchanged
 The negro ministers were headed by Rev. E. c. Morris, for more than 30 years pastor of Centennial Baptist church here, and for more than 25 years president of the American Bap- tist Association, the largest associa- tion of negroes in the world.
