the white caps visited the house Of
Henry Lisle, negro living in the
Gum Grove neighborhood, and literally
riddled Lisle aud his house with bull
let's. He only lived little while after
the shooting. Lisle's house was visit
ed about two week ago and shot into,

cided not to do SO. He had lived in
the community all his life, and bore a
good reputation. He lived on a small
