men raised shout: "Thc democrats
have seized our guns" and made
rush for the other guns. The white
men who had secretly slipped into
the house and seized the guns, then
6red and the FIRST shot killed an old
Icolored man about 70 years old, who
was standing leaning on q stick.
This is the only coiorcd man who is

locra.s, who were generally armed
with pistols, but had TO retire rapidly
towards the boat under heavy FIRE.

v hen they saw that some Of their

Ioid men killed. Sheriff Bowen, whom
they recognize AS their personal and
political friend, rushed among them
and tried TO stop the firing, bot they
did not cease until al the white men
iwerc driven away from the church.
! Six white men we're killed or have
died, and one colored man. Several
white men are wounded, bu. none Sc

many negroes are hurt. As soon As
1.-The fight ceased, the steamboat re-
turned 10 the city for arms and rein
forcements, and over hundred men
went back on her, on two hours no.
tice, with arms for themselves siraefor
their hundred meu aire1dy there.
Next morning about 200 more armed
men went up on the same boat which
1had returned. These armed men
were the military companies, or por-

weeks ago. The report goes on to
state how the militia was secured tc
protect the negroes, and expresses the
hope that the marshal can. maintain
peace.

On last Saturday, at about o'clock
p. M, the citizens of Mexico were
shocked by the report of an accident
which had resulted in the death of
Charles Morris Mckee, son of James
Mckee, well known to the citizens Of
Mexico.
1t appears that Mr.. Mckee, on re-
turning from his last hunt, had laisl
his gun under the bed-empty. TAX
ing the ''shells'' out as was>his Gus
tom. Now, the child being only a
little over two years old, of %course
could not lift the gun, much less load
it; and yet she'll was placed in the
gun and evidently the stock must
have been raised by some one, for
the contents, besides mortally wound
ing the child in the side, went down
through the floor. The only person
near was a coloreu boy nine or ten
years old, who, it is thought, placed
a shell in the gun, thinking it was
capped but not filled, and merely
shot the gun off to frighten or amuse
the child, and the result was tho
death of the little one.
When Willie Morris brought tho
sad news to Mr.. Mckee, he thought
Willie was joking, but was com.
PEELED to admit the truth when h,
saw the bloody corpse of his alread,
dead child-the pride of his fathers
and Joy Of his mothers heart.
Ii is truly s. lhd and henrtrendimg tC
have ones darling idol takel
from them thus. They have the
deepest sympathy of all their friend:
