ter their arrival at the farm house. Owen

Three Negroe. Killed in a Rae. War

Three negroes are dead and one is not
expected 10 live as a result Of fiot be-
tween the white and negro miners al the
ore mines near Cardiff, Ala, Tuesday
The two races came 10 a clash in Glasgow
Hollow, where the negroes had congre-
gated armed with rifles. A white man
was held up and roughly handled. This
news soon spread, and body of white
miners moved toward the hollow. Il is
supposed that they went around by cir
cuitous route in the mountains and came
upon the negroes Unexpectedly. Ed Ellis,
the ringleader, armed with a rife and re-
volyer, fell AT the first yolley. A rife bull
let did the work. There was another vol
ley and four more negroes fell. Jim Dill
and Adams Samuels died a few minutes
later while being removed 70 negro house.
George Thomas was shot through the alb
domen with bullet.
The trouble started when it was thought
that John Shepard, who assaulted Mrs.
Monroe Jones, near Corona, was in that
community. The negroes armed them
selves 10 prevent his capture. Both sides
were aroused, and only the timely arrival
OF a sheriff's posse prevented an outbreak.
The negro miners held mass meeting and
refused 10 90 to work. They al belong to
a secret organization known as the
knights OF Africa"
