Returned to Brandon

The governor paid no attention to the remark, but continued his argument and finally persuaded the crowd to permit the sheriff to take the prisoners to jail. The governor returned to randon this morning. Sheriff Stephenson has placed a guard at the Forest jail to prevent the lynching of the rioters, now In custody, on account of open threats being made here to storm the prison tonight. Two of the negroes under arrest have made full confessions. The funeral of the murdered officer, Sibley, oc- cured at Harperville today and wSs at. tended by hundreds of people. It is res ported that two of the murdered Han's brothers are on their way from their home, Yazoo county, at the head of a large crowd, bound for the scene of the race war. It is feared that when they arrive a determ- ined and successful assault will be, made on the Forest jail and all of the rioters confined therein lynched.
 Later.-Sherif Stephenson considered the situation so serious tonight that he decided to take the prisoners to Meridian for safe- keeping. large posse was organized and the negroes will be placed on the o'clock train.

RIOT INVERTED AT AsHPoLE,N NC

New Orleans, October A.-The Picayufle's negroes, one dead white man and one negro and three white men seriously wounded is the result at this writing of the bloody war being waged between the white and black races in the Harpersville neighborhood of this, Scott, county. Several of the rioters have been captured and lodged fin jail at Forest today, but the others escaped into the swamps. Large crowds of white men are in close pursuit, however, and more names are hourly expected to be added to the dead list. The following is a partial list of the killed:
 Black-Fish Burke, J. p. Gatewood, Hen- ry Anderson, John Gatewood, Hugh Ander- son, Sim Haralson and Ben Haralson.

 Negroes Hurriedly Buried
 It is impossible to obtain full list of the killed for the reason that some of the ne- groes were shot down in the woods and hurriedly buried by the whites where they fell. A member of one of the posses said today that he helped bury three negroes in trenches, but neither himself or any one in his crowd knew their names and they did not care enough about them to inquire. Governor A. J. McLaurin went to Harper vile last night and appealed to the whites not to molest the prisoners in the custody of the sheriff. The governors talk had good effect on the majority of those in the crowd, but some of the hot headed mem- bers did not relish the governors inter- ference and told him so in language more plain than polite. For instance. at a point in the governors speech where he was en1- phaszing the duty of every citizen to aid in the enforcement of the law, one impu- dent individual in the audience yelled: "Governor, during the recent yellow fever epidemic, when your services were wanted at Jackson you could not be found. Where were you then? Now when your services are not needed you come and stick your nose into our business; go back to Bran- don."
