tackled their victim with large stones In their
hands with which they succeeded in uaictlng
ugly wounds on both sides of his temple, EXTEND

The negroes evidently anticipated Spillman's visit
to the restaurant. Tho difficulty originated some
months ago, when the driver caught several of the

wagon. They determined on revenge, and at last
succeeded. Two ofthe enumbcr--BrOoks and Jones'
are locked up, but their companions in crime are
