Bloody clash in Darlington as constables face armed mobs
Reports from Darlington say a fight broke out between citizens and state constabulary at the depot as troops prepared to depart. Constables Pepper and McLendon and citizens Norment and L S Redmond were killed. Armed citizens seized troop rifles, threatening to attack arriving officers.
