BLOODSHED.



A Low Dance Ends in Frigh.ful Melee
Several Persons Receive Fatal Wounds.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 5.-Thc village of
Walton, Ky, eighteen miles southwest
of here, on the Southern and Short-line
roads, was the scene of frightful
slaughter early yesterday morning. A
dance had been given by the colored
people OF that ncighborhood. About two
over a man both claimed. The fight be-
tween the two dusky amazons led to a
general melee. During the melee pis-
tolls, knives and razors were drawn
and freely used. Nearly fifty shots
were fired, and fully half dozen
of the participants in the row were
doubtless fatally wounded. The house,
after the fight looked like a
vcritablc slaughter pen. The floor,
walls and furniture were bcspattcrcd
with blood, Cory trails led in every di-
rcction. The fence had been broken
down in many places, and the palings
showed the prints of bloody hands. 1t
was thought yesterday that at least
five OF the wounded would die before
nightlall and that many others were
almost as badly hurt. The affair has
caused great excitement throughout that
section. Angry colorcd men pursued two
of the prominent participants in the af-
fair, and who are credited with doing
most of the bloody execution. If caught
they will be lynchcd to tree. The white
citizens of Walton are also terribly
aroused, and are taking steps to prevent
further bloodshed.
