Ala, Last Night-Eiring General All
Over City and Several Were Killed.
Montgomery, Ala, November s4.-A
special from Admission. says:
Members of the third Alabama negro
regiment caused great exciGment here to-
night. Shortly after dark. Private Gid.
hart of Co. 3. second Arkansas while
going toward camp from town was shot
in the head by negro soldier, who also
stabbed him in the back. Gildhart was
taken to the hospital Later member
of the fourth Kentucky was shot by negro
soldiers who lay in gully, shooting at
| the white men who passed. Firing was
heard in Liberia, the negro quarters of
the city and a squad of provost guards
went to investigate. AS it turned corr
ner a large crowd of negro soldiers opened
fire flpon the guard with Springfields.
The guard returned the fire but had butt
few cartridges, and had to retreat. Rein
forcegnents and more ammunition We're
sent for, but when they arrived the
negroes had disappeared. In the engage
ment Sergeant Dobson, third Tennessee
was fhot in the arm.
Pri1ate Graham, third Tennessee re-
ceiyec painful wound in the stomach.
If any of the negroes were shot it is not
known. Two other mem bers of the pro-
vost guard are missing.
When news of the trouble became
knowa, the white soldiers who were in
the csty, gathered around the provost
guSrds' headquarters and begged for
guns end ammunition, crying like chill
dren because theil requests were not
granted. Citizens armed themselves and
repaired to the scene of the battle. Mayor
High ordered all saloons closed. Several
negro soldiers, one with Springfield,
which had just been fired, were arrested
and lock I'D up, though it was with difh-
GUILTY Aat the white soldiers and citizens
were prevented from lynching them.
Armorfes of two local militia companies
were broken into and every gun
unknovn part les. General Frank,
who is IN command of the troops here,
came ous and was on the streets until
late hous. Gen. Colby, commanding the
second brigade. brought two companies
each of the third Tennessee and second
Arkansaf to the city for whatever service
might bsi required. They secured the
city ard took all soldiers not on duty
a memfser of the fourth Wisconsin, is
said TO have been shot, but the report
cannot be verified. One negro soldier
while under arrest was shot in the arm
by citizen.
Firing has been heard at intervals in
various pa1ts of the city and rumors are
afioat of several crowds of n3grOes in
ambush, but all investigation has been
fruitless. A negro soldier WAS danger
ously beaten by white soldiers on 10th
street this afternoon and this incident is
supposed to have cauied the riotous act
ions of the negroes who are said to have
slipped out OF the camp through the
guard lines.
Later-One negro soldier has just been
brought in dead and another fatally
wounded.
