and many friendly negroes q descent was
made on the rioters. The negroes were well
supplied with Winchesters and revolvefs
and made a sortie from one side pf the
swamp. They stood their ground but
very short time, as scrub tFees did not
afford much protection, Some we're shot
down in the scramble for shelter on their
re- Feat to dense cane breaks. During the
night occasional shots were heard in the
village. A negro was found dead ih an

1t becomes more and more apparent that
Pugilist Gallagher escaped from the city
several days before the fact leaked out
that he had really gone. Remarks were
dropped by well known sports five or six
days ago, to which little attention was
paid at the time, but which, in the light of
subsequent events were decidedly signifi.
cant, to say the least. Perhaps the worst
fooled man in the city was County Com
missioner McQueeny, who allowed his good
nature and credulity to be imposed upon
to an extent that now seems outrageous,
and no one feels any worse over it than
Mr.. McQueeny himself, who now fully ap-
preciates what it is to be a victim of mis-
placed confidence. Undoubtedly McGinty
assisted the fugitive to escape.
