winchester Rifles rslsgraphed For.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, December PA
private telegram was received late last
evening from Lamar, Miss, calling for
twenty-five Winchester rifles. II came
from a thoroughly responsible gentle
man, living two miles from that place, to
his son. The object, the telegram
stated, was to equip the whites for an
impending conflict with the blacks The
telegram also stated that it was rumored
that two whites and five negroes had
been killed. The cause of the trouble
was not given, nor the extent TO which II
had gone. The guns were shipped at 10
O'clock last night. Lamar is a small
town, about sixty miles from this city,
in Boyton county, on the Illinois Central
railroad
The latest dispatch received from
Lamar. Miss, agrees in saying that san
culinary conflict between the whites and
blacks is likely to occur at any moment.
The trouble originated from a quarrel
between a white man and negro. The
latter was in quarelsome mood and
used insulting language TO the white man
and was promptly knocked down.
Several other negroes who witnessed the
Quarrel espoused the cause Of their
colored brother, and in short time the
white man was being kicked and cuffed
in a lively manner and would no
doubt have been killed then and there,
but for the timely arrival OF few whites.
On the appearance Of the whites
the negroes fed the town and
in patch of woods at the outskirts OF
the town. held consultation. 1t was
decided to send messengers In the vicin.

action, also began organizing, and In |

Much excitement was manifested In 'ni'
city over the report that reached ner'
this morning that bloody riot had taken
place at Tacketts Mills. In stanford
county, Va, between LOT OF coiored ana
white people who had assembled there
where store Is kept by Mr.. l.. A. Skinner
In the early part Of the morning 'nere
were no indications among the assem-
bled crowd that the day would close with
bloodshed; but ere the sun was lost De-
hind the horizon, dark spot was made
on the escutc.ieon Of the hitherto peace
ful old Estate Of Stafford" As far as we
have been able TO gather from all au'
thentic accounts, toward the noon OF the
day hilarity ran 20 fever heat, ana po'
litical questions we're the absorb
ing topic A few Of the white
people and the colored present
contended that Stafford was largely a
Republican county, and that all OF its
offices should be filled by members OF
that party, and charged the grossest
frauds upon the Democrats of the county
using the most violent epithets. During
the turmoil of abuse, a white man by the
name of Bennett Hefiin and a colored
man. whose name we have Deen
unable to learn as yet, carried
their dispute into an unsettled mat
ter between them concerning
plow. Words between them soon
came to blows, in which both parties
present took a hand, fighting with guns
pistols. stones, and every dangerous
weapon to be had During the fight the
white man, Hehin, fell dead from bull
let passing through the region OF his
heart, supposed to have been done by
the negro with whom he had the DIM
Guilty. Directly, the whites, realizing the
death of one OF their party, turned win
great fury upon the negroes.
A SEVERE CONFLICT
followed, with many serious injuries to
both parties. The negro who made the
attack on Hefiin attempted to make his
escape. but was captured and has
since died from his injuries. The
sheriff with posse fastened tc

and has made several arrests OF parties
who were reported as having engaged IN
the affray.
Mr.. w. S. White, the attorney fol
the Commonwealth for that county,
whose office is in this city, left early this
morning for the place to investigate The
matter and restore peace.
THE LATEST
we have from the vicinity is that grea
apprehensions are feared Of more serious
trouble between the whites and colorec
of the neighborhood. Whilst Stafford o.
late has been giving large Republican
majorities, that portion OF the county II
Democratic.
