The concert given yesterday by The

especially pretty.

THEY WANT THEIR MONEY.
McCoy Interviewed by Ris Workmen at
. Noon Today. .
By preconcerted arrangement the Mc
Coy . laborer assembled shortly before
noon at the corner of Third and Union
streets, and when the town clock struck
12 walked over in a body to the court
house. . . '-
A plan had been arrangei for a meet
ing between McCoy and his laborers at
this hour. The men began "going up
the steps and into the hall, when the
eheriff pushed them back, telling them
to remain at the foot of the steps and he
would bring McCoy to them. The
sheriff then addressed them in a tew
words of firmness, telling them . he ex
pected them to be peaceable and order
ly, and that be would not tolerate any
funny business. He then went to. the
cell and soon stepped out escorting Mc
Coy. The sheriff had previously dis
tributed a few loaded revolvers to citi
zens wtho were present, and besides the
laborers there were not a dozen others
present, including the sheriff and
prisoner.
McCoy was met with glances of hatred
and suspicion on the part of the men,
but standing a little in the shadow of
the sheriff's athletic frame the portly
contractor began bis little speech. It
may be stated here' that the note exe
cuted by McCoy was not honored at the
Portland bank, and the sheriff conse
quently again took charge of the prison
er. "I am glad to Bee you again, boys,"
said McCoy, and I know what you want.
I am here to offer yoa the best possible
settlement I can effect. The time I had
,n Portland was limited, else I might
have done better. I no w offer you $1000
in casn, wnicn you mav aiviae up among
Uand the balance secured by lumber,
ich von ?n Probably dispose of for
Cash
The speech did not bring that degree
of satisfaction McCoy perhaps expected.
'We need -our money, and we want
a0LOf.it." .
yWhen do we get the $1,000?" : -You
lied to us once and we won't be

he said, "I havn't the money."
"You are a' liar, you scoundrel,"
said another, "or. if you havn't got it
you can get it."
"What about that lumber deal?"
asked another. Here the sheriff took a
hand in the conversation, and what he
said left no doubt where his sympathies
lay. "Mr. McCoy," said Mr. Driver,
"that lumber offer is a bunco game, and
you know it. Now I want to tell yob
something about these men. Ton may
think yon can starve them out, and that
they will peter' out one by one until
only two or three are left ; ; but you are
mistaken. They have friends who are

in jak until you dig up, and I advise
you that it is the best thing you can do.
I know as well as you do that you have
the money, or that you can get it with
out any trouble, and you had better get
it."
' "We want to know before 6 o'clock
whether we are going to get the money,"
said the spokesman ' for the laborers.
"We have been deceived in this matter
as long as we will stand it."
McCoy suddenly , remembered the
name of a Portland man who had money
and promised to try and get it by letter
and would let the men know in the
morning. . . . -
"No that won't do," they shouted.
"There is a telephone and that is
goad enough for us. '
"Very well, then, by telephone," said
McCoy, "and with the sheriff he re
treated to the sheriff's office, where he
promptly brought the instrument into
requisition. - While awaiting the ans

liberty to be present , to hear what Mc
Coy would say to his Portland friend;

hour of going to press the Portland man,
