Yesterday morning George Barbee,
colorcd lad about 10 years of age, appeared
before Squire Comings and swore out war
rant against Belle Foggy, colored woman
for assaulting and striking him. Deputy
Sheriff, Geo. Olmsted, after considerable
search, found the accused, who, upon trial
was found guilty as charged, find SIS and the
customary incidentals. Feeling resentful,
Belle then "cross fired" by swearing out
warrant against young Barbee tor assault
ing and striking her, the trial of which
will come up Monday, The court admon-
ished Belle that the "cross fire" had some
what the appearance of malice, which if
shown on the trial, would necessitate her
paying the costs of proceedings but Bellies
blood being up, she responded "All right,
Squire, let it boom. I'm bound to have the
law on that white niger, if it breaks me,
fiat"
Mat Lewis, the negro who was arrest
ed for stealing $41 from a couple of Missis-
sippi Central colored men, is manifestly a
dangerous man. Friday evening he re-
paired to the house of his woman (most of
these vicious devils have their "women')
and not finding supper ready, flew into
towering passion. His woman explained
that the reason supper had not been pre-
pared was because there was not mouth
full of anything to eat IN the house. The
sooty lord, instead of being Modified hy
this explanation, grew still more furious.
damn her; she had spent his money for
whisky, and now he was going to kill her,
and suiting the action to the word, he
seized broken glass and hurled it at the
woman with all the force he could COM
mand. Anticipating the assault, the
alarmed female assayed flight, but had
taken but few steps when the ugly missile
struck her in the back, almost burying
itself in her flesh. Since that time the
vicious villain has kept himself out of
sight. That he intended to kill the wo-
man there can be but little doubt, and had
he hit her on the head, he would certainly
have carried out his intention. A five year
sojourn in the penitentiary is what Mat
Lewis has earned, and it would be wicked
forbearance in jury to make it any less
for him.
An individual by the name Of Great
house, who claims THAT lie is tweveyear
resident of the city, is full of Trouble. He
has been unable in the first place, to find
a landlord who is indifferent about such
triflles as house rent; and for that reason he
is driven to frequent changes of location
Yesterday morning his troubles seemed to
thicken. With his things in the street in
front of the house he had just vacated, his
wife became, as Mr.. Greathouse thought,
very unreasonable. She told him that she
had been driven from shelter the last time
on his account. If he couldn't manage to
keep a roof over her head while she did all
the rest, she would leave him. She
would take her things and set
up for herself; and from this
point she increased in earnestness

called upon, as he alleges, to catch hold OF
her, lest she might resort to acts Of active
hostility. But Mrs. G.'s dander was up.
She bit his hands, and then by quick
wrench freed herself. and gathering board

would have terminated we are left to con-
lecture, as officers arrived on the ground
about this time, and took both of them
under arrest. They were brought before

the evidence making the PAIR equally cul-
pablo, they were fined $500 each, and then
with a magnanmity beautiful to contem-
plate Mr.. G. agreed to pay the woman
fine as we'll as his own. How he is going
to do this, since he was unable to keep his
wife under the cover of a roof, remains
for future demonstration.
