A large crowd of Goebel. men srathered at the depot, ready and willing to help the officers if necessary, and the local guard of militia, mprovised by uapt.xougmire to guard tbe armory was on hand. The greatest excitement prevailed when nearly tbe en tire police force and all the deputy eher- lis rushed into the car containing the fugitives and began trying to , arrest them. : The policemen -held their revol vers and stuck them in the - faces of , the soldiers, so that the latter could not raise their rifles to shoot. When Lieut. eake drew his revolver it was knocked out of his hand and be was arrested. When Powers resisted be was strucK on tbe head with a billy, , which laid .open the scalp. ' As the men emerged from the coach a loud yell went np from the Goe- ber sympathizers, and Davis begged , his captors to protect him from the mob.
