They Call Out a COIOred Man. and Shoot
Him as he Runs.

The Memphis Post of the 9Th inst. has the
following:-
Last night at midnight a dozen Ku-Rlux
assassins called at the house of Il quiet and in
offensive colored man named Reuben Mason,
living on the widow Baker place, northeast OF
the City Hospital, and north of the Catholic
Cemetery. The ruffians demanded admission,
declaring there was man there that they
wanted. Mason, who was in his bed, got up and
went to the door to see who they were. They
ordered him to come out, and he went out. They
called to some one in the Gang who they called
captain who took charge OF him. AS he was
taking him of Mason asked leave to step one
side for moment Noticing the captains"
head turned, he darted off with all his might.
The captain at once opened fire upon him. One
ball grazed the eide OF his face, and another
lodged in his neck.
The peor fellow succeeded, however, in
making his escape. This morning DIR. A b.
Newkirk dressed his wounds. Mason cannot
imagine what grudge the villains had against
him, except that he was a black man. He is not
aware that he has an enemy ia the world. The
rutfans were white men. The Captain was a
very stout man. and may yet be identified. 1t
is certainly bold move on the part of the Ku-
Klux to attempt their outrages so near the
homes of go many thousand colored men. We
trust that none of them will hesitate to protect
themselves whenever thus assailed by these
midnight assassins.
