A s-ypd reputation is wortli some thing ami we Trust that he will no v stab us at long range? unless ifis evi dence is prirr.a facie. There was a little disturbance at Nichols Imt not enough to write a double head line about. It seems that some of the employ es of the Southern Pine Lumber Cos. had been trespassing on the proper ty of certain citizens by cutting trees across tlie : r fences and doing other damage which it seems they could not stop, and a meeting of citi zens was called with the intention of taking action in the matter out of which this grew a good deal of talk. It was reported that the citizens had ordered the Southern Pine Cos. to leave that section within ton days or th re would be trouble, and that the Company had forty rifles and other munitions of war sent out to Nichols la defend their property aiula riot was expected, but those who inform us do riot substantiate the report.
