MErra'NN, Miss. Dec 81 Tho bodies OF
injury, l,inan .,nd DAVIS, lynchcu uy the
white avengeis, were still hanging 70 the
pine tree near Nahaiak yesterday morning.
That the trouble has not ended, but viii yet
result in serious consequences, is known, be
cause groups OF armed men from Shuquaak,
Soooba, Sacanochoe and other towns in the
vicinity came into Wahalak to join the
armed men already here, who are trying to
capture the refugee negroes
The comparative isolation of the place and
difficulty in reaching the scene of the trouble
tend 70 discredit some Of the news received.
The negroes cannot prevent capture much
longer, as the whites believe they have COM
pletely shut them in. Coleman, who suffered
death, informed his captors Of the hiding
places Of his companions, and tho deaths OF
George Maury, Walter Brook, the two stem
mis- brothers, Wilder, John Price, Cheatnam
and the others who are missing is only a
question OF few hours.
The widest reports come from Wahalnk
about the killing OF negroes, but the reports
are deemed untrustworthy. 1t was also said
that three of the whites who were wounded
