row in Memphis by those acquainted
with both persons.
There was no eye witness to the

several shots about 6 O'Clock, rushed
to the scene and found McLenIore
standing in his night gown, holding
shotgun ana pistol in either hand.
He was under the influence of liquor,
and claimed to his questioners that he
had killed Faller, but that the latter
had brought the trouble on himself.

showed that his face had been literal
ly tiayed with buckshot, as well as his
chest, and that there was also another
load in his right side. Both OF his
hands we've grasping a pistol. and an
examination showed that one OF the
chambers was empty. 1t was also

"Twenty.seven colored families

near Meridian. east Of Guthrie They
report that one thousand more are on

The observation Of the colored broth
or will strike a responsive chord all
over the territory. At the present
time Logan county in which Guthrie
is the principal town, contains more
colored than white population. AT the
recent election a negro was elected
county clerk, and there Is little doubt
that the remainder of the county Off

with this condition Of AFFAIRS in Lo'

strange thing that a thousand or two
more colored people are encouraged
to take up their residence there. It is
to be presumed that they will displace
that many white people, If that mum
