Nelson and John Coleman were
killed at Winter City yesterday
evening, and Wilson Porter was
hung at Sunnyside this morning.
This swells the total number killed
in the Delta troubles to 25. The
latest reports from Minter City say
that 13 white men had surrounded
Geo. Allen, the Negro leader, few
miles from there. He has only one
follower and both are we'll armed.
They will never surrender alive. A
majority of the women and children
from up the river who ran away
from their homes and came here
for protection have returned home,
as they were assured that the trou-
BILE had about ended.
1t has been discovered that the
Durant Commercial Co. of Farmers
Alliance store at Durant, Miss,
has been furnishing the money to
the Negroes by which they procur-
ed their guns. They, of course, did
this as a regular commercial trans
action, but they nave been resolved
upon. ThG Walden Negro newspar
per has }Deen ordered discontinued.
The number of guns captured
.aas6t - -229 -.IbeP e5 are are the i'm
proved Winchester and Spencer
rifles. The plan of the Negroes
becomes more diabolical as each
tale is ulfolGed. Last Sunday four
Negro excursion trains from Green
vile, Jackson, Durant and Winona
were to have arrived here early in
the morning. The alarm given on
last Saturday caused the railroads
to cancel the excursion trains. 1t
is estimated that 1000 Negroes
were to come.
The planters met at Sunnyside
this morning and unanimously
adopted the following resolutions {:
