the Scene of u Dastardly
Outrage.
Clayton's Miscr ants in Ambush

n Ballot Box.

FORREST CRY, ARK, September
Dust As the editors of bloody
shirt organs were about to despair
OF getting any material out of the
Arkansas election To serve their pc
litical purposes the colored brother
came to the rescue. Blood has
been shed, but it is the blood OF
white men, not negroes; and the
hands that shed the blood were the
hands of negroes. 1t does really
seem as though the bloody-shirt
shriekers had forced the negroes to
manufacture an outrage for them in
order that the opportunity might
not be altogether lost.
The little town of Millbrook was
the scene of the outrage, and the
victims oft were seven of the best
known citizens of the place.
About l o'clock this morning the
action of a mysterious party of
blacks aroused suspicion, and in
formation was telephoned from
here to the citizens of Millbrook to
be on their guard. They acted on
the hint, and about thirty citizens
armed themselves and took posi-
tions outside the store where the
polls had been located and kept
watca Wilde the count progresses
insiae. Tsr precinct gave a heavy
DeHsoerss,s majority, and it was
thought the intention of the mys-
terious party was to capture the
ballot box. About 8 O'Clock, just
as the party on guard were about
settling down to the belief that
there was no danger and that the
alarm was a false one, three shots
were fred from the outer darkness
and seven ofthe party fell.
The guard returned the fire and
Immediately made a rush, but
failed to capture anybody or to dis.
cover who had made the dastardly
assault. An examination was then
made and it was found that seven
had been wounded.
