THREE NEGROES DEAD
Battle Between White and COlored
Miners In Alabama.

birmingham, Ala, June 27-Three
negroes are dead and one is not ex-
pected to live until morning as a re-
suit of a riot between the white and
negro miners at the ore mines near
Cardiff, in Jefferson county.
The Dead.
I'D Ellis,
Jim Dill,
Adam Samuels.
Wounded.
Rudolph Williams,
George Thomas, mortality
The two races came to a clash in the
late afternoon in Glasgow hollow.
where the negroes had congregated,
armed with Winchester rifles. a white
man passing along the road was held
up and besides being abused was
roughly handled. This news soon
spread and an armed body of white
miners moved toward the hollow. 1t
is supposed they went around by cir
cuitous route in the mountains and
came upon the negroes unexpectedly.
Ed Ellis. the ringleader, armed with
a Winchester and a Colts revolver, fell
at the first fire. A rife ball did the
work. There was another volley. and
four other negroes fell. Jim Dill and
Adam Samuels died in a few minutes
after being removed to a negro house.
George Thomas was shot through the
abdomen with a Winchester bullet. He
is not expected to recover. Rudolph
Williams will live.
The trouble started yesterday vi -
it was thought that John Sheppei
who. on last Wednesday, assaulted Mrs.
Monroe James. near Corona. was in
that community. The negroes armed
Both sides We're aroused, and only the
timely arrival of a sheriff's posse pre-
vented an outbreak.
Negroes Are Defiant.
This morning the negro miners held
a mass-meeting and refused To go to
work. They all belong to a secret or
ganiZation known as the knights CT
Africa" or the Mysterious Men" They
keep rifles and ammunition on hand at
all times. 1t was IN the afternoon that
they gathered in Glasgow hollow, al
though with what intention is not
known.
Influential citizens say that the ring
leaders are now out of the way. and
they hope to manage the other negroes.
Shortly after the riot Sheriff O'Brien
left here with 100 armed men. He now
has the situation in hand for the time
being. although late reports say the
situation is extremely critical. and that
the negroes are talking of avenging the
death of their leaders.
Sheriff O'Brien. who is now at Bloss-
burg has received a message from
Adamsville. three miles from that
place, asking for protection. An armed
body of negroes is gathered in the
mountains threatening to make a de-
scent upon the mining camp in the val
ley.
a special from Cardiff says that few
men are asleep there tonight Each
side is expecting an attack. The trouble
really started last night, when a body
of white men fired on some negro
shaeks. One negro was shot in the leg
and as a result the negroes were sui
len and refused TO 80 to work today.
A private dispatch received in Birn-
ingham tonight states that the dead
and wounded negroes were shot in the
back.
