Colored Women on the Warpath.

From Bob Sloan, the leader of

BANNER learns of quite an exciting
little shooting scrape which occur
red on Christmas eve night at the
residence of Andrew Harris, color
ed man living os. the Greenvine and
Shelby road, six bailes from town,
where a dance was I'm progress.
Sarah Keener and Morris johnson
have been living on Mr.. VIM. Web
meyers place as man and wife, for
whose family the woman did the
cooking. About 8 o'clock Johnson
left for the Harris place to attend
a dance. Sarah wanted to go too,
but he interposed his veto. Suspect
ing that he was in love with another
woman and didn't want her to stand
in his way at the ball, Sarah's bosom
swelled with rage and jealousy.
She resolved that she would kill
johnson, and with this end in view
she disguised herself in male attire,
drew SLOUGH hat over her face and
buckled Johnson's six-shooter on,
after which she sailed out to the
scene of merry-making. Stealing
up to the back door she spied the
object of her hatred and deliberate
ly tried to shoot him. At the first
attempt the pistol snapped and re-
fused to fire, but the second, third
and fourth attempts were success
full. At any rate, three shots were
fred, one of the balls entering the
wall and the other two slightly
wounding a third party in the leg.
Nobody, however was seriously hurt
After doing the shooting the woman
made hex, escape in the confusion
that ensued>and has not yet been
