R,1rrGH. N. c., Sept. 11.-tSpeciai. lite
ports have reached here that the oyster war
bas been resumed in the eastern part OF the
State. Shots have already been hred ana
bloody hostities are apprehended. as 1t Is re-
ported that very bad feeling exists.
II is learned that the surveying boat OF
General W G. Lewis has been fred upon by
pamlico county oystermen. General Lewis,
who is the State engineer, has been engaged
in laying off grounds for parties Wishing 10
enter and possess tracts of ten acres when
the law allows 10 every citizen who wishes 10
90 and lay claim to that srea. Inc NATIVES
would then be prevented from shtuellnE
oysters on such ground without paying or
sharing the catch with the owner. Ihey re-
earded this ns a hardship. having always hao
free range of the grounds.
TIE BOAT FIRED Upon.
Various threats have been made, end rev
nights ago the surveying boat OF Gene,ai
Lewis WAS fred upon and flied with Onllet
holes. Il happened that all on board were
down in the hold and nobody was hurt. ereherai
Lewis was not on board at the time IL 10 IN,
derstood that some men have been arrested
bv the sheriff and bound over to court but
the parties who fired the shots have not been
nositively found out. IL is saio that 200 oys-
termen have banded together to hold their
ground. and are threatening to drive General
lewis boat away. The sheriff has not yet
applied 70 the Governor for assistance.
General Lewis and other Interested parties
were in the city to-day and applied to Cover
nor Holt for aid. Governor Holt st once tele-
grsphed for Attorney General Davidson VINO
is absent from the city. and will take prompt
action. 1t will probably be necess ary to order
ont the State Guards, as was done few
months ago.
