From the Western Dispatch, Independence MOI
Negro Killed.
Our city was thrown in state of excitement
this morning, by the appearance Of negro man
upon the streets with drawn pistol in his
hands, with which he attempted to shoot sever.
al men.
The circumstances, as We learn them are
about these: Thomas Smith, who owned the
negro, had sold him to some one, and had him
in one of the stores for the purpose of securing
and lodging him in Jail. The City Marshal
caught hold of him for the purpose of securing
him, but the negro got loose from him in the
struggle, and ran into the street, drawing, at
the same time, Deringer pistol, which he pre-
sented at all who attempted to stop him. The
Marshal followed AFTER discharging several shots
at him from revolver, none Of which took ef-
feet; then followed long chase, in which quite
. number pursued three or four hundred yards,
during which time several shots were fred by
different persons from the crowd. Mr.. Smith,
his owner tried to stop him on horseback, by
riding him down; but he took to the fence, and
as he was climbing over he received shot
from Mr.. Smiths revolver. After this he ran
some distance, when he was overtaken, upon
which he presented his pistol at Mr.. Tyrne, aud
fred, the ball passing directly over his head
grazing his hair. Thereupon, several persons
ruShed up TO seize MIN, when ne presented an.
other pistol and defanty bid them come on
He again ran on, when Mr. Chiles met him and
bid him stop, upon which he raised his pistol to
fire, when he received shot from Chles' revolt
yer, which fclled him instantly. His arms were
then taken, which consisted Of two single barrel
ed pistols, large bowie and pocket knife when
he was placed upon horse and brought to DR..
Twymans Office. He breathed his last before
reaching the Office.
He received one shot in the thigh, and one
passed through his lungs in the direction of the
heart.
He was negro of desperate character, and
had successfully resisted two attempts to take
him prior to this.
Our citizens fully endorse the actions of those
who attempted to arrest him.
1t is to be hoped that this will prove timely
warning to others who may be inclined to re-
bel.
Our citizens should take some effective
steps to enforce the law to prevent negroes
from carrying arms. We believe that at
least half the negroes who parade our Streets are
in the habit of carrying weapons of some kind
Let this be a warning of the danger in permit
ting such things

ACROSS The R1vER.-The old site opposite this
place in Iowa, known as Toole's landing has been
purchased by New York Capitalists for $22, 900,
and they are preparing to build town in just
such spirit and haste as only New Workers can
do. The bank is so low as to be overHowed in
times of very high water, and to be fortified
against this calamity the whole site will have to
be raised some six feet or more. But where
there is energy coupled with capital such obsta-
cles vanish into thin air. Where there Isl will
there is way. About two hundred hands are
employed in cutting down timber and construct
ing wooden railway from the landing to the
nearest point of the bltf, which is about two
miles. This railway will be completed in two
weeks, when the carting of dirt Will commence
We doubt not the place will be speedily filled
