the mayor A. O. Smoot going to make out the papers
to arest the men at Kinkades store for assaulting
the police. Brother Stanes reported that Mr Wilson

was entirely out of order in his charge to the Jury
& insult to himself in not giving him the opportunity
of meeting with the Grand Jury they are becoming
diveided among themselves. I called upon the president

Quarrel with the Poliece they made all kind of noises
to attempt the police to arest them but the police
did not interfere with them untill they came
out & kicked & stoned the poliece they then knocked
down some half a dozen of them several shots were
exchanged but nobody killed the Poliece quelled the
mob several of which were severely hurt one

wento to Mr Hartnets to get Dr Hurt to come &
dress the wounds of those who were hurt two
policemen went with him & while returning with
Mr Hartnet one of the poliecemen pistol accidentally
was discharged & the ball went into the ground this
Frightened Mr Hartnet for He thought He was
shot at But He was informed that it was an accid[en]t
