They will have over 300 men, and carry tents, ammunition, and commissary’s stores for a two weeks’ siege. The entire Second Regiment has been ordered to the *ront by the Governor, and will place over 000 men in the field. Attorney General Bradford, who has visited the scene of trouble, says it is fully as bad as has been reported. The General says that if one man from either town, Woodsdale or Hugoton, goes to the other he will be killed, and this will precipitate a fight.
