entire white male population of the town
was pitted against lot of colored roughs.
The Colored citizens came into town early
in the evening for the purpose of having
q dance, but, getting drunk and disorderly,
were refused room. This infamed them,
and, filling up on more, they started out
to take the town.. After firing off their
revolyers they broke into DR.. Fishers
store-room. and later into saloon, insulted
citizens, kicked in DOORS and inaugurated
almost reign of terror. At this juncture
Marshal J.. NJ. Hemphill, after deputizing
all the available assistance, opened fire
on them, which soon brought them to
terms. Henry Banks, Charles Rose,
Tom Newlin, Anderson Newlin and Newt.
Newlin, the ringleaders, were arrested.
Nat Newlin escaped, although seven shots
were fired after him, and it is believed
that he is badly wounded. Henry Banks
was shot through the left ear. The entire
party were taken to Bellefontaine and
held for riot.
AT NEVADA, on the 9th, as a train was
passing through the town, man was seen
standing on the track. The engineer
whistled, but the man failed to heed the

He was a stranger in those parts, was
about five feet four inches in height,
weighed 165 pounds, and aged about fifty
years. His hair was cut very close and
tinged with gray. The Coroner found a

addressed to Mrs. Alice Thwate, Compiler,
Belmont County, which read: "Please
send me little money to-" The missive

wife. The remains were buried in the
Nevada Cemetery.
Mrs. FRED. KRAcK, of Delaware, whose
husband died some time since, was taken
suddenly insane recently and attempted
to kill her small boy. She was placed in
Jail and recovered in few days. No cause
could be assigned for her mad freak, but it
now appears that it resulted from medicine
taken to produce an abortion. On the 21st
fetus six months old was discovered in
an clubhouse at her residence. She was
brought before the Coroner, and made a
confession that she was the mother, and
James Snyder, married man, with three

with the medicine to produce the effect
above named. Snyder was arrested and
placed under bonds of $780,.
