acted in that city on Thursday last, the
particulars are as follows A negro by
the name Of Wesley Hodges had been beat
ing his wife in an outrageous manner, and
she escaping from him made complaint to
the proper authorities, and warrant for
his arrest was forthwith issued and placed
in the hands Of Mr.. JoBN IyEY, constable,
for execution. He forthwith proceeded to
the negro's shanty, read the warrant to him,
and requested him TO go with him without
trouble. The negro swore he would not be
taken alive. Mr.. lyEY, intent on perform
ing his duty regardless of danger. stepped
toward the negro, when he plunged dirk
knife into Mn, IvEY just below the pit of
the stomach, iniiicting very dangerous
wound, which for a time was feared would
prove fatal, but the close attendance of a
physician, has recovered him so much that
he is now considered beyond danger By
