NEGRO IS WHIPPED
BY THE CITIZENS
SHERMAN REESE is GIVEN
EIGHTY-ONE LASHES WITH A
TRACE AND WILL PROBABLY
NOT RECOVER.

Montgomery, January 21.-A special to
the Advertiser from Headland, Ala, says:
Sherman Reece, a negro, was whipped
today by an enraged crowd consisting of
half a dozen of Headand's leading citi-
zens. Reece had torn down fence and
the cattle came on the premises of w. o.
Ayres, which destroyed a considerable
amount of fodder. Ayres asked the negro
to put up the fence. Reece used some pro-
family and said he had rented the land
and had a perfect right to let cattle in,
and that he intended to do so. He told Mr.
Ayres that he intended to tear down his
fence around his seed land for Spite
Ayres picked up wrench lyin-. near him
and threatened to strike the negro. Reece
sprang at Ayres, pulled from his pocket
an open knife, made a thrust at Ayres
throat and held the white man by the COL
lar. The negro again cursed ana threat
ened to kill Ayres II he moved.
The negro afterwards fed but was soon
captured, carried to a livery stable and
given eighty-one lashes with a heavy
leather trace The negro could not stand
any ftrther punishment, and 1t is doubted
whether he will recover.

to-day for the elimination of the body OF
the dead woman. Her husband has not

woman, who met through an advertise
