BULLETIN:
I At 9:45 armed citizens and one guard cor

held in Convention hall south through town. It
was reported the negroes were to be corralled
at the Western league park.

At 5:30 the death list was estimated as high as fif

fied at that time, and attendants had no time to get;
names of wounded.
At the Oklahoma hospital about eight or ten new vic-
times had been received since the morning battle opened
one of the wounded dicing in an ambulance just before
reaching the hospital.
These men were all believed to have been shot by
snipers firing from houses in the "black belt" during
the invasion of the negro district.
Martial law will not be declared unless ab
solutely necessary, according to the adjutant
general.
The adjutant general, the troops from Okla
homa City and local guard units placed on duty
early this morning are working hand in hand.
The first move by the troops, according to
General Barrett, will be to disarm most of the
disorganized bands of whites who are riding
about the city armed to the teeth.
With the appearance of the machine gun
company, with guns mounted and bandoliers in
position to begin firing on an instant's notice,
the tenor of mob violence which has prevailed
for the past 12 hours took on a decided note of
calm and armed bodies of volunteers and ex
pectant citizens quickly gave way to the com
mand of the troops.

Two thousand or more negroes are reported walking out
of town to the north, where no armed xvhitcs xvere barring

Every negro seen on the -trccta this morning was promptly
put under guard. The c'ty jail was quickly fillet and the
police then began taking them t" Convention hall, where more
than thPec hundred are now confined. Iil''cks picked up in
various part" of the city offered no opposition, but most of
them seemed glad to get the protection of the law.
negroes were not returning the fire very spiri
was reported, but negro snipers were shooting from
housetops and windows.
Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, the row of frame
buildings on the cast side of Boston avenue north of the
Frisco tracks was fired, but because there was no wind, the
flames burned themselves out and did not spread to the Cin
cinnati avenue block which sheltered several hundred
negroes.
At 3 o'clock the fire had gained sufficient headway to de
stroy all the buildings exci-pt the resilience on the north end
of the block. When this building was burned, six negroes
