—There was a very unsatisfactory
sort of excitement in the northwestern
portion of the city about three o’clock
th's afternoon. A few men gathered
at the corner of O’Neil and Eigh
teenth streets, and started on the run
toward the next corner north. This
started everybody who saw them.
The crowd finally “broke” fora lot of
old wagons—somebody said it|was sol
diers and sabres, and some said it was
a fight—some said deserters—then, as
witli one mind, the whole crowd
rushed to Abney & Reel’s stables, and
asked eacli other, “ What’s tlie fuss?”
At last it was found that everybody
had tlieit feet wet, and their pants be
spattered, and that the whole excite
ment was about some soldiers that
nobody saw.
