A man wearing a butternut came into the crowd, when it was taken from him. Immediately a party of forty or fifty men, armed with dray pins, stones, clubs, etc., and hurrahing for Jeff Davis and Butternutism, attacked the Warsaw train as it came in. They then paraded the streets, and meeting a United States officer in a buggy with two ladies, threatened his life.
