A negro and white man are hiding in a
large forest twelve miles from Buena Vista
and firing on pedestrians who pass along
the road The young sons Of Matt Battle
and Simon Ayre. aged respectively II and
II years, on returning home from work,
aud nearing tie thicket, were suddenly
shocked by bullet stings and pistol reports
They turned, cried for help, and saw
the men running through the woods.
One boy was hit in the thigh, and the
other in the leg, just below the knee pan.
They managed to reach home, where medi-
cal aid was procured. The wounds are not
dangerous, and their early recovery is in
tioipated In the meantime the entire com
munity is aroused, and unsuccessful searches
were made for the hends on Mondey,
Tuesday and Wednesday. Sheriff Rushin,
accompanied by even or eight well armed
men, will 60 down TO assist the people In
capturing the outlaws.
Crawford Herald: There was a consid-
cradle storm near here on Wednesday Of
last week, accompanied with heavy thun-
der storm. A negro house on A. W. Will
kin's plantation was blown to atoms. At
the time the wind struck the house
there were thirteen negroes in 1t, and every
one received blow about their person, but
none were seriously hurt. One very old
woman was badly shaken up, but
she has about gotten over it.
There was nothing left together of
the building except portion of the roof,
and it is miraculous that all the occupants
were not killed. There were some out
houses on the plantation OF Morgan Gaul-
ding blown down but no one was injured
The colored Methodist church of this place
was so badly creened that it will be neces-
sary to rebuild the house. Trees were blown
down on every side and considerable dam
age was done TO fences and timber. Crops
were not injured to any great extent. The
ground was very dry. and the crops needed
every drop of rain that fell.
