P.S. I understand that the man Bill Stark went to Mr. Aust's place with about 20 armed men (colored) & carried away the produce they was contending for by force.  I suppose this was the cause of the demonstration at Jack's place, as Stark had gone there.  I think it would be best to have a squad of soldiers stationed here until after Christmas holidays & until the colored people get homes for another year.  I think it would be best decidedly & hope it would be done.
