white slaves to sell by auction; that the Mayor came
out and addressed them but did not read the Riot act
the law required. Soon loaf of bread hurled at
the Mayor and hit him on the head the same time
fearful yelling commenced; that he ordered the mob 10
keep back, they pressing If to get at the
Mayor that when the Mayor this he ordered them
to disperse The crowd did move, however,
and acting under the Mayors direction he gave the
men order charge the crowd with their ''bies;"
that they did charge, and finally, he believed drew
their revolvers that the crowd surrounded them, and
when they had taken their prisoners attempts
made, which led to other arrests and
related the arrests the throwing of bread and
and bricks in corroboraton of the HERALDs despatch
of last evening.
