Another Race War Develops In
Calhoun County, Arkan-
sas.
Attempts OF Whites to Reason With
Their Colored Brethren Precipi.
81 tates Battle
i'm Which Several Negroes Are Killed.
NJ No Politics About

LITTLE Rock, Sept. 21.-The excite
ment in Calhoun county is confined to
Champagnolle township, where the
isegroes outnumber the whites six to
one. 1t was first rumored that the
trouble was due to the dissatisfaction of
The negroes with the aew election law,
but politics had nothing to do with the
uprising. During the past two weeks
several negroes have been taken from
their cabins at night and severely
logged by White Ca. for offenses COM
mitted. Charley Jones was whipped
about week ago for deserting his wife,
q punishment which all the negroes
endorsed. Several white men who made
q living by trading with the negroes in
the fall and winter melted them against
the people of the county, and armed
with guns and pistols they Immediately
went on the warpath. For several days
they roved about the, country in bands
muttering threats of the most incendiary
nature. Every white person they met
IN the road they would insult and
threaten with bodily harm. Their con-
duct became unbearable and the sheriff,
at the request of the citizens of
Champagnoiie township sent Deputy
James to the negroes to reason with,
and if possible, to pacify them without
resorting to bloodshed. AS soon as the
deputy and his posse arrived at their
camp and announced their mission the
blacks opened fire on them, wounding
Deputy James in the leg. The fire was
returned and four negroes were killed.
On the way to Hampton. Saturday
night, the posse was fired into from am
bush but no one was injured. The
whites returned the fire and the blacks
fled in confusion, at the first volley, into
a thick wood, where it meant certain
death for the whites to pursue them.
Sunday afternoon the posse encountered
about one hundred and fifty blacks
mounted on horses, only about half the
number being armed. One of the ne
groes fired at the deputies, who turned
their horses out Of the road. The ne
groes kept up constant firing for about
two minutes without effect after
which the deputies, numbering about
fifty men made charge killing
one negro and wounding seven. This
stampeded the blacks who made their
escape in every direction. They reported
to the negroes throughout the county
that they had been attacked by 2,00o
white men who were determined to kill
every negro in the county. On Monday
the greatest excitement prevailed in the
southern part of the county. Negroes
left their homes taking only such cloth
ing as they could carry in bundles. The
cotton fields were deserted and the farm.
ers became alarmed over the prospect OF
not being able to get their crops har:
vested. An effort was made to allay the
excitement and induce the negroes to re,
turn to their, homes, and this, in q
measure, has been done.

WOODMAN AGAIN,
The Chicago Justice Charges Other Judges
With Taking Brides.

The Chicago Justice Charges Other Judges
With Taking Bribes.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21-The names of
Superior Court Judges Lorin C. Collins
aud Frank Baker have been dragged
into the Garfield Park controversy.
Justice Woodman, who made the sensa-
tional charges of attempted bribery
against M. c. Mcdonald, now says that
he had arranged with Judge Collins and
Judge Baker to secure an injunction
that would tie the hands of the city ad-
ministration so far as interfering with
racing at the track was concerned, pro-
vided that he (Woodman) would dis
charge the prisoners arrested in the raid.
Justice Woodman asserts that he will
have no difficulty in proving his charges
against Mcdonald, as the conversation
between Mcdonald and himself was
overheard by members of his family.
Judges Baker and Collins pronounce the
charge ridiculous and Judge Baker calls
attention to the fact that he has twice de-
MED such an injunction to the Garfield
Park club. Mcdonald also pronounces
the charge false.

mer's determination to have the process
sion march in double column was the
means of avoidinga possible controversy
between these two organizations over
the right of the head of the line. AS it
was, they marched side by side, and
the amour propre was fully preserved.
General Palmer, commander -in-chief;
Henry Nj. Duffield, Detroit, senior vice
commander; accompanied by the official
staff of the comm mander-in-chief, and his
aides-de-camps followed. The Grand
Army escort, post of honor, was ac-
corded to the survivors of the famous
Sixth Massachusetts regiment, and the
first defenders Of Washington. The

ened by the the plaudits of the multi
tude which rang continually in their
ears as they passed. The posts marched
in the order of their seniority, beginning
with Illinois where the Ct. A. r. was
organized. The rear of the procession
was brought up by the naval veterans
association.
The line of march of the procession
was from the foot of the Capitol along
Pennsylvania avenue. past the treasury
building, the department of justice, the
White House, the state, war and navy
departments, to Twenty-third street,
where the parade disbanded.
The Reviewing Stands.
When the vice presidents review ing
stand, in front of the treasury building,
was reached, General Palmer and staff
saluted most gracefully, and the re-
sponse came back from Mr.. Morton no
less effectively. Passing on to the stand
reserved for himself and officials of the
G.. A. r., General Palmer with his aides
and associates left the column and took
the places provided for them in front of
the state, war and navy building These
reviewing stands are of decided artistic
merit. The one occupied by Vice Presi-
dent Morton, members of the cabinet,

An Official Conundran,.

II. b. Garletz is county commits
sioner. c. S. Smith is county sheriff.
II. B. Garletz as resident commission
er has a general oversight of county
matters in and around the court house.
e. s. Smith as county sheriff has a
general oversight Of the prisoners IN
the county Jail. II. B. Garletz is also
guard of the county Jail. Now, one
Murray the forger prisoner is gone
and no man knoweth how or where.
The conundrum is: Will county com
missioner Garletz as servant of the
people hold Sheriff Smith responsible
for Murray's escape, or will Sheriff
Smith, servant of the people, hold
Jail guard Garletz responsible for the
escape. Murray is gone and somebody
is responsible. Don't all speak al
once.

COMMISSIONERS MEETING.
They have q big Job before them, but they
are meeting II braVely. The good
work Is still going on.

Signs Of big weeks work con-
fronted the board of county commits
sioners when it met Monday morning
at 10 o'clock. Papers were stacked
"sky high" on the desk before the
members. They looked, they sat
down, they pitched in. The top pa
per for consideration was in the mat
ter OF providing booths, ballot boxes
and rubber stamps for the November
election under the Australian system.
The contract for those was awarded
to Geo. ID. Bernard & Co. of st Louis
at cost of s675.50.
The next paper and next and next
and on through that day and the
morrow were bills, bills, bills and bills.
These and road matters and petit
tions and the like held the board down
until Thursday. THE News cannot
give an itemized account of them be-
cause the general reader would
grow tired before he fairly began the
task Of glancing over them.
An order was made for an election
at Pocatello, August 4th, on the ques
tion OF establishing an independent
school district. W. j. Harvey, Thomas
johnson and H. B. Kinport were ap
pointed Judges.
In the matter of the communication
from Alturas county asking that Bing-
ham county, share the expense of
making a survey between the counties,
it was ordered that Bingham county
will not pay any part of expenses so
incurred.
CThe inference is that the board will
not recognize the action of the Alturas
county board in making the survey
aud that the matter of the boundary
line will remain in statu quo until q
1 joint survey is made by order of the
two counties.)
Consideration Of the matter Of judg
ment Of NJ. Patrie vs. Bingham coun-
ty was laid over until a decision is
handed down from the supreme court
to which body the case has been taken
on appeal.
To-day, Friday and Saturday, tn,
board will be engaged in establishing
precincts, appointing registrars anC
judges of election, etc, e.c Tn

interest after the board adjourns.

A few timid Democrats argue that
the party ought to use great caution

seekers this year They fear we may

thing is certain, there are not enough
offices for everybody. A professed
Democrat who sulks because he fails
under fair treatment to get an Office is
no Democrat at all. A party man who
is party man for Office is no party
man.

be given a fair show; If he falls short
Of what he asks ler him act the true
man and accept defeat in good part.
We endorse the sentiment of the val
liant King Harry, in the play, when
