ST. LOUIS, Dec. "A special to the
Post-D Dispatch from Macon, Missouri,
says: There was firing of pistols and guns
between the black and white miners at the
Brewer coal mines all last night, but with
out serious injury to anybody. So far as
can be learned four men have been killed
since Saturday last-three negroes and one
white man, besides several wounded.
There is no abatement of feeling, and there
is a constant liability Of bloodshed. The
county authorities have done nothing to-
wards suppressing the riotous proceed
ings. No militia has yet arrived. Women
and children are being sent away from
Brewer. Trouble ia expected tonight. A
meeting of citizens was held this after
noon to take measures to restore order.
Three hundred stands of arms arrived
this morning, and the Sheriff ID organlZ-
ing a company. The negro miners re-
main inside of a stockade at the mines
and fire at all the miners who come within
range of their guns. Every man and boy
| at the mines who is able to handle a gun
is said to be armed.
