were brought to town a day or two

the effect that considerable race trou-

can learn the reports were very much
exaggerated. ......""'Jim Wilkes, whose
home is in Hartner's quarter, near the
old oil mill, has IL son, Archie, 16 or II
years old, who is inclined to run about.
Archie had been out recently, and Jim
found him yesterday. The boy drew
a pistol, but Was disarmed and taken
home. Jim determined TO chastise
him. and in order to do it thoroughly,
he made ample preparation. He lock-
ed one end of a tracechain around his
sons neck and threw the other end
over a joist or some other piece OF
timber and drew it up till the boy was
nearly raised from the floor. He then
proceeded to use the rod, when Archie,
in his struggles, threw his weight on
the chain and was finally taken down
apparently dead. The father and
mother applied camphor freely, and
after awhile restored him to life. We
hear that he is still improving. Jim
was given cell next to Jim Anderson
in the Jail. He is described as being
u mean, vicious Negro. AS he believes
in chains, so let one be given him.
