In anticipation of serious trouble to
night arising from tho atrttmcpllll
night arlsliiK from tho attempted as
sassination of chancery Clerk Krinst
Newman last night.
Sheriff Jones notified Lieutenant
Governor Munship, acting governor In
the absence of Governor Noel, lute to
day, that he did not believe he was
able to cope with the situation at
Meadvllle, as friends of both factint
had been coming Into I he town from
the country all day and were threat
ening to "tear the town up." It was
upon his earnest solicitation that the
troops were ordered out.
Up to a late hour today, there hail
been no further outbreak since Sun
day night when Chancery Court Clerk
Newman was tired on as he sat In his
homo and badly wounded in the arm,
but It is feared that friends of the
Newman's and the I'ritohards may
clash before morning, in whii h event
there will In all probability be more
bloodshed than whin the father of
Newman was killed a few weeks ago,
at which time two or three other men
were killed and the present clerk was
badly wounded. Young Newman
was recently elected to the office of
chancery clerk over five opponents, as
his father's successor.

Tonight the si riking men realized

without them and that they no longer
were wanted within lb.- big gates of

Forty stale police are on 1 heir way
here tonight to augment the company
of mounted constables now on duly at
ihe car plant. Since last night's car
nage these fearless ca all ' lin n have
evinced a desire to strike fear into
the hearts of the men who took their
comrade's lives. The strikers realize
that the mounted i-o..p. is are more
than a match for them. Yet all dur

subjected to abuse from house win
dows and doors whenever they chanc
