MADISON,
A Negro Shot by a White Man for Re
fusing TO Surrender Stolen Prop

A Negro hot by a White Man for he
fusing TO Surrender Stolen Prop
erty.
From an Occasional Correspondent
MADISON, ARK, August 8, IS71.-Tht
peace and harmony of our town
was broken on yesterday evening, by the
occurrence of q difficulty between q
white man by the name of ROthrOck and
q negro by the name of Henderson John
son, which resulted fatally to the latter.
It seems that the difficulty grew put OF a
quarrel about & coat which the negro had
on, which belonged to Rothrock. Upon
RothrOck's demanding the coat, in a civil,
gentlemRnly manner the negro COM
menced cursing and swearing, and deny
ing that it was Rothrock's coat. When
they both sprsng for each other, the ne
gro attempting to draw q pistol, which
was taken from him by a gentleman who
WAS present, who, with the aid of some
others, succeeded in separating them.
ROthrock being a small man, was very
severely chOked. The negro then went
of, threatening vengeance, but soon re-
turned with another of Rothrock's coats
on and swearing that ne ''could whip two
such damned poor white men," Roth
rock then appeared again in the street
with a doUble-bsrreled shot gun and de-
msnded that The negro should take his
(Rothrock's) coat of, the negro
not Obeying Rothrock shot him. They
we're about thirty or forty feet apart. The
gun was loaded with buckshot, twelve of
which took effect In and about the chest;
one, from its direction, must have pene-
trated the heart, for the negro fell and
died without a struggle. There will be an
inquest held ver the body this morning,
which will result in a verdict of death
from a gun shot, fred from the hands
of Wallace 81. Rothrock." Rothrock, after
the shooting, quietly walked OF into the
woods with his gun IN his hands before
an officer arrived to arrest him.
The circumstances need no comment.
Death is awful, let 1t come as it may; but
to BEE a man summoned before the bar of
his God with an oath on his lips and de-
hance in his eye, is too dreadful to think
While, on the other hand, it ia hard
to have your property taken from you,
and when you politely inquire about it to
get a cursing and choking.
Rothrock has the character of being a
quiet, peaceable citizen, but, when onoe
arOuHed, capable Of defending himself,
regardless of consequences. The negro at
best was gruff and repulsive in his man
ner, but when drinking, as he was yester-
day, is very insolent and Overbearing.

REEVES SURRENDER.

The young man Nat Reeves, who found
1t necessarily to shoot q colored man last
Sunday morning out on Rayburn avenue
gave himself up yesterday. In the morn.
ing he sent word in to Col. DuBose, that
he was ready for surrender. Chief OiDon.
nell, Of the police force, In company with
one Of his men, went cut toward the
southern edge Of the city, and got Nat at
the place he indicated in his letter OF
advice to Col. DuBoss. Nat had a cool
seat In the yard OF the Adams street sta
t~ion-house for two or three hours yester-
day before he was Investigated by Squire
Miller. Nat says he shot solely In self
defense. He said the slain Dick, the
colorsd, had threatened his life several
times, a on Sunday morning, while
Nat Was walking on the psrapet of an old
fort in that neighborhood for the benefit
of his health, he heard Dick "cursing and
ripping round" and saying he would
"hke to have a chances at that" ETC., mean
ing Fiat. Thereupon an alteration took
place, which resulted in the death Of the
colored, It appears that Dick clinched
with Nat before he died, and they had a
sharp struggle. Besides this, several other
negroes came up, one of whom struck
him with a brickbat. Seeing that his W
life was in danger, he left there as quickly
as might be.
The Squire investigated the case at 5
o'clock. Mrs. Lynch and her two girls
we're there, and some other folks. The
result of b examination was that the
Squire required Ma to procure $4,000 bail
for his prompt appearance before the
Criminal Court when called on.
A CARD.-I hereby withdraw my name
as candidate for Magistrate of the Fifth
Civil District, in favor of Mr.. d. Pante,
hoping my friends will give him their
