the past two weeks by band OF ne
groes under the leadership Of Mil
ton Puryear white man. They have
been burning houses and committing
other lawless and desperate deeds.
The town was again thrown into great
excitement Saturday night when they
assembled in town and burned large
gin house of DR.. j. Z. Bryan and
leveled the railroad depot to the
ground with fire. The object in burn
ing the depot was that its location did
not suit the outlaws. A few weeks
since thirty bales OF cotton mystic
riousiy disappeared from tine ware
house in Linwood. These negroes
were seen to have large rolls of
money. Before the gin house and
depot were burned there was a gen.
eral firing of weapons and windows
and doors were riddled. the object
being TO keep people in their houses.
A number of horses and cattle were
killed. The mayor Of Pine Bluff or.
gained posse and arrested the lead
er and six of the rioters and placed
them in Jail at Pine Bluff.
