The new law has certainly worked W I'll in the

wilful liar. He said that the PRESS is pa.

A companion of Stevens named Robertson

loading muskets used BY the militia. Upon the
information given by Robertson warrants were
at once issued for the arrest of the negro mem
bers of the militia engaged in the numerous
ARRAY. Deputy Sheriff Smith organized a
posse and proceeded to capture the alleged

house occupied by three negroes named Ellis,
all of whom refused to surrender and fired
upon the Sheriff's poss, killing one white
woundDg another and a negro. The Depuiy
Sheriff is also said to wounded Finding that
desper~te measures were about to be resorted
