When the Sheriff Tries Evicting.
RALEIGH, N. C.-News has been re,
ccived here Of sensational affsir at
James G ty.a negro town near New Berne,
growing out of M attempt by the Sheriff
to forcibly evict the negro residents from
land which the Supreme Court of the
Unit d States has decided to be the pro-
perty Of James A. Bryan, of New Berne.
Negroes have been settlirg on this
land, which is across Trent liver from
New Bernc, ever sin ,e;1ss3, believing it
to be the property of the Government,
and there are now in the settlement sew
cral thousand negroes. Ten years ago
Mr.. Bryan, to whom the laud really be-
longcd, began proceedings to reclaim 1t,
and the courts decided in his favor. He
made several attempts to remove the he-
gro and their property upon amicable
terms. but they indignantly refused all
terms.
Wednesday Sheriff Larocque aud a
p sse went TO James City to evict them.
At the first house where notice was served
the negroes told the officers they would
die before they would be evicted. A
fig was run up in the middle of the
street, and in 4 few minutes one thousand
negroes hid gathered and ominous growls
went up. thy said they would fight
for their rights and die before they would
surrtnd r. The sheriff and posse were
forced to retire. Great excitement pre-
walls, aud 1t is not known wherc the
matter will end.
