SERIOUS RACE RIOT
OCCURS AT TOWNSEND
SERIOUS RACE RIOT
OCCURRED At GREENWOOD
Negroes Were Badly Beaten
and Run Out of the
Town
Special to The Evening journal.

Special to The Evening journal.
Greenwood, June 26.-Probably the
worst race riot between whites and
blacks that ever occurred in Sussex
county happened at Greenwood on Sat-
urday night, in which two hundred
whites and half as many negroes par
ticipated. The trouble started about
IL o'clock, when three negroes beat in
to insensibility a half-witted white
man, who was slightly intoxicated, and
got into an alteration with the ne
lgroes. They took advantage Of him
and he now lies in a critical condition.
The news soon spread among the
whites and a general fight ensued. Two
hundred white men organized and,
with clubs, pistols, and guns began to
rid the town of the negroes. Every
negro, whether woman or man, was
run out of the town, and several
pitched battles took place.
A dozen negroes who were caught
one at a time near town, were beaten
into insensibility by the angry mob
The whole town was aroused and the
fighting continued until early yester-
day morning.
Not until nearly every negro hac
fled the town was quiet restored, and
lit came near being resumed yesterday
when numbers of negroes came to th'
different doctors offices to have theii
wounds attended to; but cooler heads
prevented further trouble.
Another Affray at Seaford.
Seaford, June 26.-Henry BroclSson
an aged negro. was attacked by Alber
Bowden, a young white man, yester
day afternoon. and beaten unconscious
Bowden struck the negro with stee
knuckles and was beating and kickin
him to death when several other me
interfered. Bowden escaped and ha
mot yet been captured.
