Show ISuIliloziug a Court. Nashville, Tcnn., 10. A special from Huntington states that General Henry Darnell, ou trial at Tipton ville, Lake county, bulldozed the court at that place on Wednesday and Thursday with twenty-five armed men, the sheriff and deputies being entirely inefficient. Darnell recently gave himself up but refused to go to jail, and instead was placed in the custody of one of his friends. It having been shown that this bond was insufficient it was bo announced in court, and Darnell was ordered to jail. The sheriff refused lo act, and Darnell and an armed mob walked out of the court room, denouncing the court and defying the authorities. The sheriff refusing to obey an order to summon a posse, Gov. Porter waa telegraphed to send tbe Chickasaw guards of Memphis to his relief. |
