Negroes Are Jailed.

Deputy Sheriff Cherry brought 10 Selma late last night and placed Tn the county jail, William Hunter and Jim Randy. two negroes. Both of the negroes were badly injured from number of wounds which they had re- ceived in a shooting scrape which took place late last Saturday afternoon on the Weaver place, eleven miles across the river from this city.
 From what can be learned 1t seems that the negro William Hunter has or late been paying attention to Rena Randy a sister of Jim Randy. Satur- day afternoon he went to the home of the brother of the woman to pay a visit and while he was talking to the woman Jim Randy came up and oroered him from the premises.
 Quite a number of other negroes we're at the home at the time and were evenly divided and friends to both parties. But a few words had passed between William Hunter and Jim Ban, dy before someone began shooting and both of the principals took hand with the result that there was a desperate duel for few minutes. Pistols and shot guns were used and QuIte num- Der of shots were fired.
 Both will have a preliminary near . ing before Justice of the Peace l. ). Lloyd next Monday 9fternoon. Tn the meantime the sheriffs office will try and find out some of the other ne- groes who took hand in the duel and Tn which the two negroes were injured

der the circumstances would be bound
to give rise. would have ventured to
the castle unless for the purpose of a
consultation regarding the emperor's

astir early and declared his condition
was much better. After breakfast the
emperor accompanied King Edward
