yune's jackson, Miss. special srys In
an interview to day, Governor Lowry
made in substance this answer to the
general questions as to the state of affairs
IN lie Flore county: "On arriving at
Greenwood | found some excitement
among the Lcople. not, as | believe, from
any fear of bloodshed between the Iaces
| in conflict of arms. but rather from the
| menace of the negroes and their defiant
attii ude of two days before, and this was
| probably intensified by the fact that tie
| negroes, or at least quite number of
them, were armed with Winchester rifles
| Three military companies had arrived,
and quite number of citizen volunteers
| from The nelghboriDg counties. The lat
ter seemed determined 10 have matters
their own way. l feared tina. if they went
| to the scene of the disturbance in the eX
cited state In which they were, they
would do harm instead of good. After a
| consultation it was finally decided that
the militia, instead of the citizen volun.
teers, should be sent to Minter CITY to aid
the sheriff in enforcing the law"
The reports as to whether nny of the
negroes had been killed or a mum Der
captured were very conflicting. One ne.
gro was certainly killed by another negro
for refusing to JOIN them.
One man told the officers that he saw
SIX dead negroes. Other reports place
the number higher, while some have
denied that there had been any killed.

-Four men were rendered to the prosecu-
t!on by the defense, but two of them
were peremptoriy challenged by the

men were held over until to morrow,

clude not to accept one or even both of
thei efore, in the selection of the jury has
been made thus tar, and the prospects
are that full jury will not be secured
until the peremptory challenges of both
