BLACK JACK, Tex, September 22.-News
reached here to-day that on last Tuesday
night six well armed and masked men
rode up to house on Mr.. B. F. Perkins
farm situated in Hunt county, about five
miles from here, in which a negro family
was living, and called for negro man
who was living on Mr.. @. j. Harlow's farm
about mile east of Mr.. Perkins, and who
was supposed to be at this place. The
negro man residing at the house replied
that the negro they wanted was not there.
One of the mob replied that he would
do and to come out. The negro
locked the door and saw the men
and that they we're all armed with guns
and opened the back door of his house
and went in double quick time. After
waiting few minutes for the negro to
come out, and, hearing nothing of him,
they shot in the house several times. One
shot came very near striking the negro
mans wife, who was in the bed near the
door. After discharging their guns
into his house they proceeded about 200
yards below to another house not occupied
by any one and fred several shots into
it. They then proceeded to Mr..
Harlow's house and awoke him
and family, and, when Mr.. iHarlow's
sons started TO the gate where they were
on their horses, one OF the party levelled
his gun at him and told him not to come
any closer. After making inquiries about
the whereabouts of the negro living at
his place, they rode away. No clue as yet
to the parties and what they intended
doing, but it is supposed they wanted to
rid the community of negroes. 1t has
often been heard said that no negro could
live in that section.

is considerably bruised, and the lock COM
pletely out of fix. ALI attempts to open

DUvAL, September 22.-This morning
was scene of a tragedy upon high rock
culvert. Two individuals from the section
house, having imoibed too liber ally, we
presume, of Hsrrison's free whisky pro-
ceeded to extirminate one another. 81
Jackson struck o. Hutson upon the head
with one of the huge rocks that character
ICES Duval, whereupon o. Hutson knocked
81 to the bottom of the ravine with a rail
road iron spike. A few moments later 81,
whom we thought dead, suddenly emerged
with a mouthful of oaths and pound of
life and struck out home for six-shooter.
We await further Developments.

Criminal Court Sentences,

In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery,
to-day, Jessie Gray, colored, convicted Of en-
bezzlement of $40, was sentenced to 80 days in
Jail. John Young, convicted of assault on Geo.
johnson, on appeal, was called for sentence
1t was charged that Young shot at a boy. He
denied that he had been convicted of crime,
but admitted that in the Police Court he was
fined for fracas with Martha Mcpherson and
for loud and boistering" He said to the
court that there we're three other John Youngs
The court said he was at loss to understand
why the case was not of intent to kill, and he
could not make, under the testimony and con-
viction, less than the maximum, one year in
Jail, and that was the sentence Mr.. Walker
stated that he would endeavor to procure affi-
davits on which to base a motion for q new
trial.
James Wright, a white boy, nineteen years
old, convicted of embezzlement, was next
called. He asked the leniency Of the court
The judge remarked that this was the second
time the prisoner had been before the court
the sentence having been suspended in the
first case. He asked the prisoner whether if
he was allowed to escape the penitentiary this
time he could keep out of mischief? Wright
gave emphatic Yes, sir to the inquiry,
and a sentence of six months in Jail was i'm
posed.
VIM. Dixon, young colored man of eighteen
years, for larceny from the person-snatching
a pocketbook-also asked leniency, stating that
he was led off by bad company. The court
said that this was most detestable crime, and
that public example was necessary. 1t is not
out Of place to say that one guilty Of such an
Offense was a ruffan, indeed a coward ruffian.
He sentenced him to three years in the Albany
penitentiary
