A Negro Fight.

The monotony of this quiet city
was broken last Saturday when
Mr.. and Mrs. Festus Johnson,
colored, engaged in personal
encounter on Main street in the
presence of small but interest,"
ed crowd of citizens.
The trouble was based upon
the refusal of Festus to buy his
wife a box Of snuff. After a few
"soft" words had passed be-
tween them, Mrs. Johnson
proceeded to prove herself to be
a good "flinger" Of bricks, but
fortunately for the eolored gen.
tleman none of the missl es took
effect, owing to the lady being
unable to throw where she
looked. Festu5 convinced
everyone present that he could
run some when he made an ac-
curate dive for an open store
where he Immediately sought
refuge and stayed under cover
until he was thoroughly convince
ed that all was we'll without.
Up to the present writing we
have not been informed Of
any further outbreak and we
trust that the best Of friendship
shall exist between the two in the
future.

WAS SUCCESSFUL GAMBLER

Tuscaloosa, September 16.-(Spectal.)- )-- News was received here yesterday of the discovery near Searles of the body of q dead negro lying near the Warrior Southern track. M. P. Mealer made the discovery and at once notified the coro- ner. The coroner being unable to go to the place, a jury was sworn In in the neighborhood and an inquest made.
 The evidence tended to show that the negro had met his death from several gunshot wounds and several .3S-calibre pistol wounds. The negros body was full of buckshot. It was discovered that the negro was one Henry Foster, who had been employed at the mine at Searles and that he had been called upon the night before by a party of armed men who had forced him to 20 off with

 It is stated that Foster was known to be a successful gambler and the theory is that these man had been neeced by the negro and took this method of get ting their money back probably killing the negro to hide the robbery. No evi- dence of the identity of the parties com hitting the crime has been secured.

w. L. Mitchell, a young white car penter, who has been engaged in the erection of the Crescent Gin and Fer tilizer plant here, sustained serious injury yesterday morning at the plant. He was experimenting the starting of the gin when some of the machinery slipped and his sleeve was caught by the saw, jerking his whole arm under the saw. He was at once carried to a nearby residence where he received med ical attention. Ninety-iive stitches were necessary to sew up his federated arm. Though quite painful the accident is not considered to be dangerous and it is thought the young man will be out in d few days.
