CAPTURE OF Outlaws.

WILMINGTON, N. G., Dec. 1926
T. M.-Fonrteen negroes, some of
whom are outlaws, were arrested last
night in Marion county, South Carolina
by party Of twenty five resolute men
sent out from this city under COM
mand OF Captain Kline, assistant super,
intendent OF the Wilmington, Carolina
and Augusta railroad. These men are
charged with robbing railroad trains,
and it is probable that many raids of
this nature, covering two years past, as
well as attempts to wreck local-frelght
trains, will be proven on them, as also
the burning of the two railroad wares
houses, at Marion, few weeks ago.
The last robbery occurred last Thurs
day night while the local-freight was
passing over Peedee trestle, and some
valuable goods were stolen The next
morning Captain Pope, Major Anders
son superintendent of the road), and
Captain Kline put their heads together
and the result was that in less than five
days special agent of the road had
the trap ready for those who were to
spring it The men captured formed
part Of the Gibson band, who are to
Marion county what the Lowreys were
to Robson county, in this State. All
but one for whom warrants were had
We're captured and so complete was the
surprise that not a gun was FREQ

RIOT m MISSISSIPPI.

A riot is reported at Rolling Fork
thirty-hve miles above Vlcksburg,
grow ing out of an attempt of negroes
to rescue one who had been arrested
Seven negroes, including two leaders
are reported killed. -
The origin of the riot at Rolling
Fork, Isquehana county, Miss. was as
follows:
On Saturday night, November 9th,
a party of negroes assembled at the
village and were drinking and carous-
ing. One Of them pushed against a
youth whom he met on the street,
using rough language at the same
time. The youth drew a knife, in,
fictcd scalp wound on the negro and
then fed to store for safety.
The negroes became very much ex>
asperated and vowed vengeance. TO
prevent this a warrant was obtained for
the youth charging him with assault
with intent to kill, but before it could
be served the negroes broke into the
store and beat the young lad severely
with an iron bar. Finally one of the
party shot the boy in the thigh. AT
the the report of the pistol the negroes
ran, but the whites had begun to as
semble, and fearing general riot, pur-
sued and captured ten of them, put
them in the station-house, and placed
guards, over them. During the night
one OF the guards, not upon duty, came
out on the porch with a gun on his
shoulder and was ordered away by the
sentinel on duty. AS he turned bis
gun, which was cocked,it struck against
a window and was discharged. The
negro prisoners, thinking that they
were beng fired on, stampeded,, and
the guard opened on them an indscrima
nate fire, wounding two of their own
number and two negroes, slightly; but
the prisoners escaped. Sunday, the
most intense excitement prevailed, as
it was learned that Noah Parker and
Arthur Brooks, two notorious negroes,
were trying to organize negroes for an
assault on the place. The whites were
organized under Rev. Mr. Ball, a
Baptist minister, who arrested Brooks
and Parker. In an attempt to rescue

killing ty-eight persons and wound

She was to have taken out the passe n-

Later.-It is now certain that the
explosion was of a can of dynamite
belonging to the personal baggage of a
passenger. But few details have been
received. 1t is presumed the actual
passengers suffered very little, and
that the fatalities were chiefly among
those accompanying them.
1t is now supposed that san of
dynamite was being Struggled aboard
the steamer. Two of the steamer
passengers were killed. The steamer
suffered no damage, because she was
