The saints of the place, who had been expecting a visit from U. S. marshals for some time past, were filled with the wildest wild-est confusion, thinking that their time had at last come. Some hid in outhouses and hay stacks, some without other garments gar-ments than their endowments ran out into the fields and orchards, while others snatched up their firearms and made for the hills.
