In spite of all that wont on, the work of tho committee wont on until tho recent meeting tor purging the chlb rolls. Tho community will recollect tin' outrageous Interference of tiuit mooting hy outsiders and tho kind of I w ?] i ? - 1 j < ^ we iiad. A great deal was published about ii - a ureal deal more could be published. A request for po Ileitis was made of tho Mayor for I lie following day and tho answer was in sulting, and nothing said about tho request. When it came to tho primary it was plain what wo hud to expect, and it was. put up to tile (lovernor ami tjio trouble averted hy having prepara tions in advance as a precautionary measure. All this was puhlish?Ml and I need not to go over it. There woi'o some who censured my notion and the action of KhoriH' Martin in endorsing l(. We know and many others knew (hat we had (lone, wisely and saved this community from trouble on tho day of tho primary. Tho result was a majority for Major Hyde on the face of tho returns and claims to which the Hyde supporters were confident the majority would be increased, or. at any rate, a ch'iir ma jority with challenged votes thrown fii to swell it. A 'protest was ponding before the committee to support the throwing out of the box' which had not boon counted. Tito Il^do people wore prepared with fifty or sixty witnesses to support our challenges on the one side or tho other. I know that there was an extreme tension and a critical situation. Others agreed \}dth me, We hesitated as before ? especially ill view of the doubts of good citizens who had blamed us before ? to do more than ask the same precautionary measures. We asked and secured them, but held them in reserve, hoping we could avoid trou ble in time. We hoped to save Charles ton from tho disgrace and .calamity which lias fallen upon her. As to whore the responsibility must fall the community will judge in the light of what has gone before and what has come after. Tlio meeting of the committee wns (?a lied today to canvass the returns, how protests and declare the results. Before ? it was called to order, there was luslibt tired, a fusllade of shots, a riot ending in blood shed, the wildest disorders, a Call for the sheriff and the militia to take charge of the situa tion, and the orderly process of the law was i h >s t polled until tomorrow. The lirst sllot that was fired I am i>osltive was tired In the hall room. On see ing pistols flourished in the hall room, I hurried to the telephone to notify Sheriff Martin of the trouble, he hav ing previously requested me to notify him of any trouble. I had made ar rangements with another committee man to stay at. the phone so that if any trouble occurred I could get him to tele phono at once, but finding the commit teeman was not ah the telephone, as I lnul requested, I went to the phone myself: While trying to get Sheriff j Martin over the telephone, some man, I quite an old man, in the crowd cut at me with a pocket knife. I dodged and be slightly wounded my left arm ? 1 have a sera toll there now. I then ran to the door and appealed to Sergt. Qnhm to stop the shooting. Instead of this lie drew his pjxtol up at me. .Seeing this, I turned to go back to the rear of the room: and some man In the crowd coming from the northwest corner of the room opposite the door way, railed out. "Mere is the , I'll get him," and he threw his plstoj up at me. and at that time, thinking that I was In for a .shot, I Instletlvoly threw my arm up. About this time a shot was fired from the direction in which this man was coming. Then I saw the young newspaperman on the floor at my feet. T pulled awfty and at that time someone else wjis yelling there goes the ? ? we want. Tn going around the table I saw Chief Cantwell at the second oast window with a pistol in Ills hand although lie was fixing to shoot someone who was bending over at the window. In the confusion I cannot say whether he or not. I ttu'ii ran hark p> ttiO table, h ii< I Indng totiitty unarmed made my way out of th** hall.
