Trouble.
ONE OF THEIR NUMBER SHOT

JEFFERsvILLE, Ind, Dec. ga race
war is on at Cementville, small sta
tion on the Panhandle road, five miles
north of this city, and serious trouble
is expected at any minute. The negroes
are all armed and the whites are keep
ing within doors to avoid them.
The outbreak began when Lee Ran
ger and John Redmond, negroes, both
drunk, started in to intimidate whites.
When their insults were resented other
negroes joined the liquor crazed men
and captured Sam Kendall's saloon.
Nearly 20 shots were fired but no one
was hurt.
An appeal by telephone was made to
Sheriff Rave for help and he drove to
Cementville and to some extent quieted
the negroes. After his departure an.
other outbreak took place and message
after message came to the local police
to send men to the town. Sheriff Rave
was again asked to go the scene, but he
declined to do SO.
One Negro Shot.
Kendall, in ad dition to his saloon,
conducts dry goods store, which was
being attended by his wife, and into
this the negroes flocked after the firing
at the saloon. Mrs. Kendall was badly
frightened and her husband ran into
the place and began shooting into the
mob. Ranger was shot, but how badly
is not known, as he was carried away
and secreted by his comrades. Ken.
dall's life was threatened and about
midnight he managed to escape from
his store and came direct to this city,
awakening Prosecutor Montgomery
and begging him to issue warrants and
have deputy sheriffs sworn in to serve
them.
1t was almost daylight when the
community became quiet, the negroes
having everything their own way. Sc
far no outbreak has taken place. 1t is
believed the slightest quarrel will
bring about bloody riot.
There 10 no direct telephone com.
munication with the place, but pri
vate line owned by the railroad is be.
ing used to keep the officers posted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Senator M.
A. Hanna is said to have served notice
on some of the opponents Of the ship
ping bill that if it is not acted upon at
this session there will be an extra ses-
sion of congress in the spring. 1t is
not assumed by other senators that Mr..
Hanna would try to influence the pres
ident to call an extra session to con-
slider his bill alone, but that if there is
an attempt to sidetrack his bill after
the holiday recess he will not willingly
stand aside for the army bill, nor even
for all the appropriation bills, but will
make fight and let the responsibility
for an extra session rest upon the fail
ure of necessary legislation.
