WILLIAMSON COUNTY
 TROOP LAW IS ENDED

MARION, Ill.,, Feb. 29-Withdraw- al of troops from Williamson county, where they were sent after clash between the Ku Klux Klan and the anti-Klan factions last Friday, leaves the neutral elements of the citizenry to work out their plans for establish ing an orderly control of affairs.
 With the exception of one battal- ion of the 130th infantry, all military forces are scheduled to leave Herrin this week and a number of units are expected to depart from Marion and other points where they have been stationed
 Although the non-partisan commit tee of citizens, working to restore peace has received assurances of SUD- port from all sides, many persons are a bit wary of the outcome and fear that as soon as the troops leave the trouble will again break out. The feud between the factions, they say is too deep to disappear so soon.
