Baxter's attor- neys, was thought nothing of at the time. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, when there were but few in the courtroom and neither of the Governor's counsel present, Circuit Judge Whytock announced his de- cision, overruling the demurrer. None of Baxter's counsel being present to answer, plead over or move for an appeal, he then rendered final judgment and a writ of ouster was issued out of said inferior court against Baxter, then in charge of the office, in favor of Brooks..., claimant. In five minutes from that time an armed mob, headed by Brooks en- tered the Governor's office demanding pos- 2o8 The Brooks and Baxter War: a History session. The Governor declined to yield, whereupon forcible possession was taken and guards placed at all the entrances to the office. In the meantime, Gen. Catterson, who claimed to act as Brooks' Adjutant General, in the same building took possession of about one hun- dred stand of arms, Adjutant General Strong, of Gov. Baxter's staff, refusing to give up the keys, although surrounded by armed men.
