Three double le the tire bell was decided on as W for a general assembling of cit- - heard of almost daily in other sections, and certain other acts committed have shown plainly the presence of the riotous element in this city. On the night of the 11th a well known citizen of Eat Cortland was knocked down, roblied, and shot mar hi.s own house, but fortunately was not killed. On the same night thirty masked men raided the vegetable gardens and hog ranch-- s of sonK forty or fifty Chinamen about two miles north of the city, drove them from their houses or huts, helped themselves to what they fancied. ami went so far as to burn one of the Chinese 1 he houses. agitators were artne as usual and carrie lantorns. The Chinamen were working hard dailv and with absolutely no one. The ground they were living on they had tnad produeti; e by their own toil, aud the sale of their vegi tables was wnat they depended upon for their support. They will return to their gardens in all probability, and be promised protection, but it is very hard to say that injury will not be inflicted on them in fiitme. On the morning of March 12, just before daybreak, an attempt was made to blow tij) a Chinese wash house on one of the main streets in the city. Dynamite was evidently used, but it was not properly applied nor sufficient in quantity, and the attempt was unsuece- ful. The windows in the frame building were shattered and the Chinamen in side badly seared. The report of this resort to dynamite aroused the authorities and convinced the citizens that something must be done at once to protect themselves as well as the Chinamen against the lawless element. The various outrages in the suburbs reported from time to time had created considerable talk of concerted action; the use of dynamite compelled instant action. A few of the more prominent citizens met on the evening of the 13th, and a general of the better clement was called for the ICth. The call for the meeting was signed by the mayor and nearly all the best business houses in the city, and it was to take place in the There was no preparation made for the attendance of those who were not desirable, and as a result the court-roowas packed with the element some time before the appointed hour of meeting. The citizens were completed to crowd into a small room in another portion of the building. The meeting lasted but a few minutes, and was the passage of a resolution giving the mayor authority to appoint lifteen citizens and delegating to those citizens power to act as they may see lit in the emergency. Long after the meeting adjourned the agitators in possesion of the courtroom, originally intended for the meeting, continued to harangue and pass resolutions, and their meeting broke ftp with a light between two men, to , crowd mounted the benches and were let down rather unceremoniously by tne mu 0 same.
