Along In *07 or thereabouts some Irishmen tried to rescue a bunch of | Fenian prtsaam in Manchester, and a pottos sergeant was shot and killed. Tie prisoners got away, which may have had something to do with the upshot too. The government was naturally sore, and they managed to hang tires of the rescue party without too much line haired fuss as to whether they had anything to do with tbe shoottag or not At that time Fenians and nationalists were at dagger* drawn, and the church waa heavy against the Fenians, of coarse, bat they were all ne, en* tn agony and shame over tMM Irish boys strong op In an Eagttah town.
