CHICAGO, Jan. "a telegram from
Shuquaak, Miss, to the Ncus says:
Three bands OF fiyc men each, headed
by William Hare, ono Of the mon slight
ly wounded in the attempt to kill the
negro Maury, Tom Mcclure and Frank,
have never given mp the hunt among
the mountains for the fugitive negroes
concerned in the Wahalak massacre"
They have made their rendezvous at n
place called the White House. Last
Sunday the Ylglautes sent In to Shuaua-
lax for supplies, and 1t was learned that
tue man hunters have murdered four ne.
groes,,WidO Cheatham, Anthony Wilder,
Zack Maury and stiles Stehfuls. Maury
was shot while the men were talking 10
him in his cotton gin, and while he was
protesting that he knew nothing OF the
whereabouts OF his brother George.
Cheatian was shot In the back yard OF
his house after hO had got down on his
XII .1s TO the white men and begged for
his life. Anthony Wilder, a Union sol
dier who was with Grant Mt Vicksburg,
was met by the desperadoes in the road
rs ho was going with load OF cotton
seed TO Wahalak. The white men shot
him and buried his body, MS they had
the two Others, by digging shallow holes
and rolling stones upon the dirt after the
corpse was covered. Saturday they
caught Stiles Stennis, who had been
hiding In an abandoned gin house for
nearly two weeks. Stennis tried 10 de-
iend himself with IN axe aud was shot
three times before lie fell. His
daughter, in terror, told the hunters
that George Mauray had escaped
from the country, but that Walter
Crook, the other leader OF the negroes,
had been hid with her father three days
before, and had left to go toa negro In
the country, whose name she did not
know, and borrow enough money to
take him north. The merchants Of the
country have begun to write letters to
Sheriff.. Il. Key, at Kekalb, intimating
that 1t Is time for him to stop the bloody
work. All the negroes killed owned lit
tie farms worth from $500 to 81 800. All
Of these farms have been relocated at
Dekalb by white men. This circum-
stance has aroused indignation among
conservative men here. NJ. Rosenbaum,
a merchant OF Dekalb, who passed
through shuqualak yesterday on his way
to st. Louis, said: ave can see now
what all this fuss was about. It was
simply a neighborhood row. They

changes he indicated be made in the
