Rensselaer Race War Situation.

Clency Wood, the colored man whose moving into the J. T. Randle tenant house on the west side was vigorously objected to by some of the neighbors and resulted in W F. Smith having a fight with Wovd Monday morning in front of Warner Bros, store, has not moved his family into the house as yet. .Mr. has placed the matter of Keeping Wood out of the house in the hands of his attorney, who has thus far failed to find another place for Wood to move, and ho and , his wife and three children are boarding with Free Wood, »he colored barber, who is a cou*in, we understand, for the present. There is no water at the Randle house and neighbors have refused to let Wood get water from their places, consequently his avowed determination to stand pat has not been acted upon. He also, no doubt, does not wish any further difficulty over the matter.
