Tampa Nslcs: A lot OF negroes arrived
here on Monday from some Of the upper
! counties TO work in the phosphate mines
| near Peru, but In consequence Of stories
told them that the "crackers" on the Alatia
would run them of or kill them every time

false, ~ labor will not be interfered with by
the people in that section, and persons who
give currency TO 1t should be severely pun

of a stick on Holzendorf's head. On Mon

corps of armed citizens who had them com
pletely surrounded, we observed several
ugly looking weapons protruding through
upper story windows and each had de-
termined oountenance looking along the
barrel

known. Ten we're arrested Wednesday,
two were bound over to await the action Of
the next grand jury. while eight were sent
to Barlow jail for safe keeping. The sheriff
is still out hunting the gamblers, and may
bring in another bunch. A great deal of
excitement prevails. and, although the mat
ter has passed or without bloodshed, it is
feared matters will assume different shape
when the next crowd Of armed negroes visit
Arcadia.
