JACKSON, La, Octoberl7, =. NJ, VIA
Clinton, La, October lS.--At II mass
meeting of the colored people held at
this place, called at the instigation OF
l.. J.. Weber, BreauX and Law, riot
took place about five o'clock, between
the BreauX and Gain men, in which
four colored men were shot, three pro-
badly fatally.
In the morning the Hon. John Gain
was waylaid and shot, rumor says, to
prevent him from speaking to the
meeting. Some of the Brenux orators
assailed Mr.. Gain, hence tho riot. The
colored people, in numbers of ten and
twelve, are patroling the streets on
horseback with guns. The United
States supervisor, Captain T. H. Jenks'
has been consulted, and 1t is PROBABLE
he will call for the United States
troops. Great excitement prevails
LATER.
Weber and BreauX have just arrlVeh
from Bayou Sara, and brought forty
Winchester rifles to furnish the riot
ers.
