RACE WAR IN ARKANSAS.
Thirteen Negroes Said to Have Suf.
fered Death at Hands Of Mob
at ST. Charles.

Dewitt, Ark, March 2S.-Four more
eastern part of this county, making 10
negroes who have been killed as the re-
suit of the rioling which began last
Monday. Kellis johnson, one of the
band OF negroes that caused the trou-
Bile, was shot to death Saturday. Perry
Carter, another negro, was found dead
in the woods near where the five negroes
were slain Thursday night by a crowd Of
Infatuated citizens.
The last two negroes killed were the
Griffin brothers. Henry and Walker, who
were the cause of the trouble. The ne
groes were reported to have escaped, but
it is known that they are dead and it is
believed they were killed Saturday.
Owing to the remoteness of st. Charles
and to the fact that the news Of the re-
suit Of the riot is not given out freely
1t is difficult TO obtain details, but there
is no doubt of the authenticity of the
report with reference to the death of the
Griffins.
In the St. Charles neighborhood the
negroes largely outnumber the whites
and trouble has been brewing for long
time and it is said the negroes for the
past two years have been getting in
solent and belligerent 1t is now be-
lieved that the leaders of the unruly ele-
ment have been killed and that further
trouble will be averted. Saturday was
election day and usually on such a day
st. Charles is crowded with negroes, but
during the entire day only two negroes
were seen in the town and these two ap-
peared in the morning and stayed in the
village but short time. Near St. Charles
negroes are quiet and are attending
strictly to their work.
