knoWledged that. The disturbance was
originated by the Radical negroes, and to
the teachings of their leaders is to be as
cribed the bloodshed and Eiot which fol-
lowed. This negro pulled out pistol and
fred deliberately into the crowd of white
men, the shot striking Mr.. John Haupt,
engineer of the Oglelhorpe Fire Company,
in the shoulder. Another negro was flour
ishing pistol, and citizen called upon
policeman Read to arrest him. The officer
came up and the negro deliberately tired
at him; the ball struck him in the pit Of
the stomach, and the officer fell. The ne
groe was Immediately shot by citizen.
Up to this time the police had contenled
themselves with using their clubs, but at
the sight of their fallen comrade they
drew revolvers and fred into the crowd.
SAD CASUALTY.
The innocent oftimes suffer for the guilty.
This fact was sadly realized by the family
of our esteemed felloW.ci citizen, DR.. Z. NJ.
Kollock, whose residence is on the opposite
side of the square, Immediately facing the
Courthouse. His daughter, Miss Sallie
Kollock, young lady about fifteen years
of age, was in the parlor when the firing
commenced. A ball came in at the win
dow and wounded her very badly in one OF
the Limbs, in the Aeshy part below the
knee. DIR. Harriss and DR.. Kollock at
tended TO her, but, at our last report, they
had been unable to find the ball. The
wouud was painful, but not dangerous.
LIST OF CASUALTIES.
John Haupt, citizen, was shot in the
shoulder; q very bad wound the ball i'm
bedded itself in the bone of the arm and
could not be extracted. He was attended
by DR.. Mcfarland, and was doing as well
as could be expected when last heard from.
Policeman Read was shot in the stom-
ach. His wound was at first supposed to
be mortal, and his death waa generally re-
ported. In the afternoon he appeared
easier, and his wound was more closely ex-
amined, when it was found that the ball
had glanced downward, and was imbed-
ded in the flesh part of his right leg, from
whence it was taken out.
Policeman McMahon received flesh
wound in the thigh. Painful, but net
serious.
Policeman Brysoa was shot in the
shoulder. The ball penetrated through
his body, and struck the spinal column.
He did not suffer at all, being completely
paralyzed. He was considered in dan
gerous condition.
Many citizens were struck with missiles
aud injured thereby, but none seriously
that we have learned of.
AMONG THE RIOTERS.
Sam Parsons, a very old negro man, who
was in the crowd, was shot through the
heart and instally killed.
Peter Hopkins, a negro, was shot in the
left breast and died almost Immediately.
We calculate that from fifteen TO twenty
negroes we're wounded; ten others were E.
ported dead, but we give only such casual
ties as have come from an authoritative
source
