2298 - L. Nov. 2; ed:4/6 - Reports that an attack would be made on this
city last night caused a great deal of excitement among the people.
The origin of the alarm seems to have come from a dispatch sent to Lieu-
tenant Colonel Palmer stationed at Johnson's island, stating that 100
men had left Toronto for the purpºse of pillaging Detroit and Buffalo.
One rumor brought on another and every suspicious-looking person was
questioned. All necessary precautions were taken to insure the safety
as well as the property of the citizens. (15)
