ing near them, II party was held,
and population sent to demand Il
surrender. The Sheriff didn't seem
TO have sufficient grit to command
their arrest, and after dallying and
delaying until near daylight this
morning, finally refused to arrest
the parties, or assist in their arrest.
The citizens patrollcd the streets
and suburbs all night, and dcputa.
tons If armed men came pouring
in from all parts of the country.
All the available arms in the va.
rioUS stores were brought out. us it
was feared that general attack
from the negroes was imminent.
In The course Of the evening, II ne
gro named Bob, attempted to gain
access to the surrounded negroes,
armed with a pistol. lie was com
manded to halt, and refusing was
shot down. The Mayor was called
upon to surrender the murdcrers up
to the citizens, but could not be
found mt the time, though he was on
hand this morning, and expressed
II willingness to do all in his power
to arrest them.
AZ the time we go to press, our
city is still ''in arms and eager for
the Fray" as the dastardly murder
Of an unarmcd and unrosisting cit
iacn, by the negro police was con
sidcrcd q challenge or throwing
down of the gauntlet in the war o!
races. There is no disposition on tic
part of our citizens to assume more
than an attitude Of sclfdefcnse, but
the negroes had best beware Of out
ragged Justice. If matters eliminate
III Il general melee, the negroes are
bound to go under, and every col
ored man found with arms in his
hands is considered Il public enemy.
At u meeting this morning, it
was determined that the murdercrs
of Applewhite be arrested at what
ever cost, and held to answer tho
outraged laws. The whole affair
is the direct result Of the antagon
