sius Jackson, neighbour and together
they drove out on the Charleston pike.

was thrown out and her skull fractured.
Jackson carried her TO a farm house
half mile Off and there she died, never

LINTON, July 6.-Special.-Linton
was all excitement last night at the an
nouncement that a bloody fight was in
progress at Island City, nine and one
half miles south OF this place, between
the negroes and whites. in which one man
and Tunnel Mcdonald, coiored, were
mortally wounded and three other ne
groes seriously wounded, while Jesse
Thomas. Sllas Payton, ID. Petty and
James Shiflet, all white. received painful
shotgun wounds.
The cause that led to the trouble IS that
some six months ago the Island coal COM
pany imported fifty negroes to work in
their Island City mine. which had been
worked by union men. These negroes
came there unorganized and were obnoX-
ious TO the union men, as well as the citi-
zens hereabouts. A citizens meeting was
called at once. the negroes attended and
agreed to leave on condition that their
fare be paid to Indianapolis. This was
done at a cost Of nearly four hundred dol
lars to the citizens and miners. Since
that time they have been returning by
1wos and threes together with others I'M
til they number forty or fifty.
The feeling against them has been
growing continuously until it culminated
IN last nights bloody fight.
About 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
one Of the negroes became involved in
a quarrel with Marvel City, white. in
the Linton supply company store and
finally came to blows. They We're sep
arated by the city marshal and the
colored man, with two others. were
chased cut Of town.
one Of the negroes turned and fired at
the crowd. which only made the feeling
more bitter. All of them escaped but
one. named Knox, who was severely
beaten and let go.
Later in the evening five young men
living here went to Island City II at
tend a dance at the residence Of a white
man. and the trouble was again started
by some Of the parties AS a result OF
this skirmish four Of the boys We're pain
FULLY wounded by the negroes.
They returned here, and It was only
short time until the streets
were crowded with frenzied
peopIe They were wild with excitenent
and broke into Terrell Hamillton's hard
ware and the Linton supply company's
store. securing about forty guns with
plenty OF ammunition and marched TO
Island City with the ostensible purpose
Of discriminating the negroes. They ar
rived there at o'clock this morning and
were met by volley from the negroes.
The battle begun and more than 500 shots
were fired, and when the smoke cleared
away It was found that Tunnel Mcdonald
was MORALLY wounded and three others
more or less injured. The negroes all
left today and thus averted what would
have terminated in great deal of blood
shed. All IS quiet this evening.
