declared fraudulent and void all

Valley stock and S95, 600 of in
come bonds of the Louisville,

purchased in the early sos by
the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley

Among other things it is al

applied to the redemption of
bonds and payment of interest
thereon, that bonds of which
they are part holders were Sc
cured by first lien on lands in
the delta valued at So, 900,

brother Nose, in the murder of

Brit Halbert travelling man
who resides at Crawford, was on
train passing where the force
was at work and happened to
look out the window and see the
negro es whom he knew. He re-
ported the matter to the II. IL. Of
ficials and they sent an engine
out under the pretense OF bring
ing the force in to clear up a
wreck. Being surrounded by a
strong guard the Longstreet
negroes offered no resistance
when told that they might con-
si1er themselves under arrest.
Sheriff when seen Saturday
said he had been notified, but
not officially, that the negroes
were in the Louisville Jail. He
expects to hear from the sheriff
of Winston county in a day or
SO, bat until he does will not
take any action.
The fear was expressed by
some one that it might not be
safe to bling the negroes here,
but there is absolutely no foun-
dation for such fear.
The gentlemen who volunteer
ed to go to Wahalak and who
were on the train when conduc-
tor Harrison was killed and par

negroes above mentioned have
as much feeling, possibly, in the
matter as any one else, and there
