MONDAY EVENING. APRIL T. 1902

PRECEDENT KRUGER of the TransVssi
Republic forfeited the respect OF many
svmpathizsrs OF the Beers cause wnen
he left his distracted country anu
sought shelter for himself 10 Europe
while HE people were fighting Tor their
homes. 1t will be remembered also
that Kruger's wife, whom he left IN
South Africa, died while he was still
away. The feeling of resentment
toward the Krugers will be 10 no
wise assuaged when 1t is learned
that Casper Kruger, the elo-
est con of President Kruger, ano
twenty-iour other relatives bearing the
same family name, are among those
who have recently taken the oath Of
allegiance to Great Britain. Men VINO
are not true to their cause, though 1t De

deserve neither respect nor sympathy

LEAVING out OF the question entirely
the right or wrong of the Governors
yeto of the Congressional reapportion-
ment bill, the fact remains that the
failure to redistrict the State rests with
the legislature. The body was In ses-
sion long enough to have prepared one
hundred respportionment bills. but the
one it did agree upon was not passed
until few days before it finally ad-
journed. 1t was then passed by a
large majority, and if the members
who voted for it and wanted 1t to be-
come law had stayed In Richmond
till the adjournment of the legislature
as they should have done, they could
have easily passed the measure over
the Governors veto.

A DESPERATE NEGRO.

Three men are dead, three MORALLY
wounded, and four seriously wounded
as the result of Sheriff Gsssaway at
tempting yesterday TO arrest Will Rey-
nolds, desperate negro In Tuscumbia,
Ala. The negro was armed with q
Winchester rifle. He was in his turn
riddled and thrown into fire. Sheriff
Gsssaway went to q negro settlement,
"KuardtoWn," Saturday morning to
arrest Will Reynolds for obtaining
goods under false pretense. The off,
Ger was met by the negro. who opened
fire with his rifle, wouudiDg the sheriff,
and Immediately firing upon the
deputy, Will Gassaway, who was some
800 yards away, MORALLY wouudinR
him. As soon az possible every man 10
town who could procure gun was 10
the neighborhood, but owing to toe
location none dared to venture within
the open space. Dynamite was pro-
cured, and the house 10 which the
negro was barricaded was fred upon,
but to no effect. AT 1 o'clock Captain
Simpson, OF the Wheeler Rifles,
arrived with twelve guns and
1000 cartridges which were dis
tributed among twelve picked men.
This company was stationed around
the house and Iiddled 1t, but the negro
had taken refuge 10 the cellar and re-
turned the fire, killing one man and
wounding another. Coal oil was then
procured, and after four hours of hard
work, the houses adjoining that In
which the negro was locstsd, were
fred. About s O'Clock the house In
which the negro was located was fired
by the Wheeler Rifles, who had arrived
on the scene. The negro took refuge
10 a shed and opened FIRE, killing one
man and wounding another, but the
people and some militiameD riddled the
negro and the crowd, numbering LOCO,
grabbed the body and threw 1t in the
burning building. Relic.seekers cut oil
the negro's fingers and such parts OF
the body as could be procured. Three
huuses we're burned 10 the effort TO
reach the negro. Several horses were
killed 10 the battle. The excitement
yesterday was intense, but there is no
fear of an uprising among the negroes.
