PURSUE NEGROES AND ARE FIRED ON
Posse After Assailant of Mar ShaI BIackburn-0ne Me-
 gro Wounded

Acting Marshal Frank Yessick of Warrior. with several men, while out Friday night looking for the negro who shot City Marshal R. D. Blackburn on Thursday, came across two suspicious ne- groes who were making their way through on a freight train going north.
 While approaching the negroes one of them commenced firing at the officers. The latter returned the fire, wounding one. The two negroes got away on the train. A telegram was sent to Blount Springs that the engroes were on the train. When 1t reached this place one of the negroes had escaped and the other was found to be wounded.
 He gave his name as John White It was found he had been shot In the back by one of the posse, the bullet passing through his body and lodging just be- meath the skin in front. He was attended by Dr. Armstrong, who cut the bullet out. He was sent back to Warrior yes- terday.
 He denied having had anything to do with the shooting at the officers. saying 1t was the negro who escaped who did the shooting. He also claimed that he work ed at Vanderbilt furnaces, near Boyles, and that his home was in Sheffield.
 None of the men in Yessick's posse were struck by the bullets fired by the ne- groes.
