There has been for the last month negro
by the name OF Cromwell, who has been
organizing, as il was thought, an Alliance
in this part Of the Delta country. Wednes-
day Of this week number of negroes be-
longing to the Alliance left the organizs-
ton, claiming Cromwell was an ex-con-
vict. A majority of the Negroes Alliance
voted in favor OF Cromwell. The next
day Cromwell received a letter ordering
him to leave the country. He showed the
letter to the negroes, and the same evening
the whites at Shell Mound re-
ceived a warning letter from parties
OF negroes who signed themselves "Three
Thousand Armed Men, who said they
proposed 70 stand by Cromwell, aud that IL
any efforts were made 10 disturb him they
would kill, burn and destroy Shell Mound.
About seventy five armed negroes came
into town and talked in q very loud and
threatening manner last night. The sheriff
received information from SOnnysde, nj
teen miles above Shell Mound, that there
were fifty armed negroes who were msssed
in Johnson's field. near there, and help
was needed. He wired the governor the
situation and asked for troops, which was

person bringing with him tye companies
of militia. Gov. Lowry has sent two com
panIes 10 Sunnyside to report TO the sheriff
who went up there To see il he could do
anything with the negroes. The steam
boat running between here and Sharkey
had Just come in bringing number of
women and children. There have been sew
eral reports from the scene of the trouble,
one of which was that the negroes had left
the vicinity OF Snnnyside, breaking up in
small bands OF twenty or thirty and seemed

A MURDERoUs ATTACK.

George Werner Makes a Brutal Assault
and Nearly Kills a Man.
ottO Knechtle, an empioye of Horsky's
Helena brewery, can thank George BOssler
that be is alive. About half-past nine last
night Bossler. while approaching the brew
cry, heard a cry of "murder" and huTriedly
leaped over an eight-fOOt fence, ran through
ysTd and jumped over another fence with
the agility Of cat and almost fell upon
"Big'' George Werner, who had KDechsle
down on the grouod and was hacking his
head with a brewers candlestick. There
was a large pool OF blood on the ground as
B0ssler grappled with the wOuld-De mur-
dereT, whom he caught by the collar,
but with a sudden wrench Werner
broke away and escaped. and has
not been heard or since. Attention WAS
then turned to the rleeding man and upon
Investigation IL was seen that his head was
hacked 20 a Jelly. He was unrecOgnizabIe
and badly mutilated. In the back OF his
head were two deep and ugly gAshes:
three more were on top Of the head and
numerous smaller ones In other parts of
the scalp. Below his left eye was a cut
another near bis ear and a big cash on his
upper lip. His back was also cut through
the clothing. BOssler and Chas. Cramer
took the bleeding man 20 the city ihil where
he sWOOned. and physician WAS sum
muned. The large cuts were seWed IN and
the friends OF the victim felt relieved when
the dOcter announced that while some OF
the cuts were severe, they were not deep
enough 10 be necessarily fatal.
While Otto was being attended a vigor-
Gus search was Instituted for his Rssallant
The brewery was searched from cellar to
dome as well as the city, but without re-
suit A brewers candlpsfjck Is something
like a miners candlestck; il holds two

which may be hung ON beam. 10 was
with these prODgs cienched In his fist that
Werner attacked his victim. The attack ap-
pears 70 have been uDprovOked and coward
ly. About an hour before II occurred Otto
asked Werner 10 return % him blanket
which he had loaned him a few weeks ago,
and suggested that Werner should buy his

he nrst came TO town about month ago.

could buy his own blanket. OtJo said the

T. Nothing more happened until
20 lock the brewery doors. AS he wss
locking door and totally uDsuspiciOns Of
an attack, Werner pounced upon him strik-
ing him in the back with the murderOus
weapon, knocking Otto down and then be-
gan hacking him and undoubtedly would
have killed the man but for the timely in
terfeTence of Bossler.
Werner Is large man weighing about
200 pounds while Knechtie Is quite a
small man, which makes the attack more
cowardly. Otto is well liked around the
brewery and II his assailant is caught BY
the breWeTymen he will meet with pretty
rough treatment at their hands.
The candlestick was found, covered with
blood, under Werner's bed In the brewery.

THE PRICE OF CATTLE.
Result of the First Days Session of the

CHICAGO. Sept. 2-The senate commit
tee TO investigate the relative rates on
dressed beef and live cattle met here to
day, Senators Vest. Coke and Farwell be
ing present. Railroad managers were
GALES to testify as TO proper rates.
An ElgiD, III. dRiryman, testified that
the dressed beef business was in an en-
tirely changed condition. The local
butchers no longer slaughtered, but bought
dressed beef in Chicago cattle to be sold
must be shipped TO Chicago. The prices
of cattle had gradually deprecated. but
there was no reduction in the prices of
beef.
MT. Larkin, OF Elgin, read figures show
ing an alleged decline In the price of live
cattle since the year 1850 from SS4 l5 per
head to SIS o.. Then he took a slap at the
railroads. He complained that dealers
throughout the country were refusing 20
buy live stock. preferTing 70 order dressed
beef from Chicago. The idea brought out
was that the freight tariff on live stock was
higher than on dressed beef. Thus the
smaller dealers considered it to their ad-
vantage to buy in Chicago, and this ac-
cOrdIng to Mr.. Larkin's motion, left Chi
cag0 control OF the live stock market.
A number OF other witnesses, principally

were examined tonight. ThOs. Brown, a
dealer IN export cattle said: Years ago
we had plenty of buyers, and II a man
couldn't get his figure here he went on to
New York or Albany. The railroads
stopped this by crushing out these ship
