 The negro's name is Dennis Fortner, a washington County negro. who was wanted in that county for highway robbery. warrant had been placed in the hands of Mir. Wainright for his arrest. Mir. Wainright received information that he was near Jack. son. and at once started in pursuit of him.
 About six miles from Jackson, on the CofTeeviIe Road he overlook the man. and a chase ensued. MT. Wain- right began firing at the negro, and supposes he struck him in the leg, whereupon the negro fell to the ground. The officer walked up to him and attempted to put handcuffs on him. He placed the cuffs on one hand, but as he attempted to place the other hand in the cuff. the negro made a grab for the officers gun and got hold Of it.
 Then the struggle began in dead earnest Mir. Wainright knew that to let the man get his gun meant death to himself, and tried to wrest the gun from his grasp. and seeing that he could not do so. fin the condition In which. he was placed, took his knife and began slashtnE the negro. The man. however, got loose from the of- ficer, fired at him twice, and then ran off with the gun and the handeuffs.
 It is reported that, he was seen in Washington County the next day with his face tied up, and appeared to be pfetty badly bruised up.
 This is just thirteen times that of- iieer wainrIght has been shot at by negroes in the past two years. only one bullet striking him, and that in tle wrist, and not injuring him any.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS FEUDS
Bush Vendetta That Is the Cause OF
Many Crimes.

From the London Standard.
Miss Young of the South Sea Island
Evangelical Mission, who has recently re-
turned to Brisbane after four months
among Solomon Island natives, has many
interesting things to relate as TO their
customs. Native murders, it appears. are
of frequent occurrence. but a great many
are the result of feudS between different
tribes.
Two Christian boys belonging to the
mission at Malo were brutally done 10
death. and another Christian native d. r III
was also murdered. The crimes were un-
provoked but were committed because the
islanders believed in having a life for lite.
If man belonging TO tribe Is killed by
another tribe there is no peace until the
death is avenged. and it generally happens
that the most inoffensive man in the Of
tending tribe falls a victim. me natlVe
who was killed at Flu left the mission sta
ton accompanied by a child to visit his
garden some distance away; The bushmen
came down. chatted with him, ana they
ate food together. Then the bushmen
suddenly turned on him and killed him to
ayenge a murder committed by his tribe
some time previously.
On another occasion, at Onepelu the
head station of the mission. d native came
and associated with the Christian boys
land shortly before daylight one morning
this man secured an ak. struck Christian
hoy the ned0 ana TdIl away lie III
iured boy was attended by a woman mis-
sionary and subsequently recovered.
Miss Young adds that a young kanaka
of about eighteen years was recently
brought from an adjoining island, but 1t
WAS found necessary to send him away to
another station. 1t appears that some
wears ago the tribe from which the boy
was taken had murdered a man belonging
TO a. bush tribe near the station. How
the natives got to know the boy was there
is A mystery, but nevertheless it became
known One day a native who had not
been near the mission station for year
suddenly made his appearance. The boy
was carefully watched and at night slept
i'm a room occupied by d missionary, but
he became so terrified that it was neceS-
sary to send him elsewhere.
Miss Young says that the authorities are
doing all they can to prevent the importa-
ton of rifles and ammunition, but for all
that the bushmen become possessed Of
rifles. Some of the firearms are of A very
old pattern. They are certainly not sup
piled by white traders. who are too much
concerned about their own safety to supply
the natives with weapons of destruction
II is alleged that some of the boys ship to
New Guinea and while there buy rifles
and ammunition. 1t has happened that
some of the boys when searched have had
ammunition in their possession.
