ATTEMPTED MURDER.-For a long
time there has been a desperate
gang of negroes infesting the lower
part of Clendenin district, and the
many outrages perpetrated by them
upon the white citizens of that
neighborhood, bad SO incensed the
whites that they determined to rid
the community of the bad charac-
tiers residing in the negro settle
ment, and SO a short time ago, a
number of citizens waited upon the
fellows and politely invited them to
get out of the neighborhood, and
several of them readily obeyed the
command. This caused bad blood,
and on Sunday last about noon three
negroes, named respectively Hop
kins and Hanes, went to the home
of colored man named Jim Miller,
and coming on him near his prem
Uses, accused him of informing the
whites about their depredations,
and Notwithstanding his denial of
the charge, the HINES negroes grab
bed Miller and held him, while
10 .3kins deliberately placed a re-
volvcr at his head and fired, the
ball taking effect just in front of
the ear, and running around under
the scalp came out on the back of
his head, making an ugly, but not
fatal wound. Immediately DIR.
Neale, of this place, was Telegraph
ed for, as was also the Sheriff, to
come down. Shortly after the re-
ceipt of the dispatch, teams were
procured and DIR. NeaIe and Capt.
Gum, Deputies Sheriff Will Gard
ner and A. L. Borgess. and Justice
Oliver Phelps and Constable VIM.
Fogelsong, went down to the scene
of the trouble. When they arrived
there they found tho whole neigh
borhood aroused and armed parties
securing the country, for the would
be murderers, and the search was
kept up all Sunday night. Shortly
after the shooting, Hanes, one of the
parties, fled to Ohio, but a telegram
preceded him, and he was ar
rested as soon as he showed up in
Gallipolis, and was brought here
Monday and is now in Jail. The
other two negroes, then stole skiff
and crossed over into Ohio, and at
this writing officers are after them,
and their capture is considered
pretty certain. This will be the
breaking up of this gang of outlaws,
as the farmers are deeply incensed
at the outrages committed by them
and are determind to bring all of
them to justice. Many of the in
cendiary fires of late, in that part of
the county is blamed on these
negroes.

People who are disposed to violate
the law, are finding out that Point
Pleasant is not a good place for
them to carry on their nefarious
work. While our town is as liberal
as towns generally are, yet when
mon and women set themselves up
in decent neighborhoods and openly
violate all rules and laws of de-
cency, they should not complain, if
they are arrested, fined and confined
in Jail under a sentence by the
Mayor.
