"Night Riders, Shoot Negroes.

Paducah, Ky, March 10.-One hun
dred masked might riders" rode into
the town of Birmingham, Marshall
county, late at night, shot six negroes,
one of them fatally, it is believed, and
whipped five others. The riders took
possession of the town and shot into
the negro cabins in the place. In one
of these cabins John Scruggs. his wife
and three children and a granddaugh-
ter were struck by bullets. Scruggs
is probably fatally wounded. The rid
ers then took five other negroes to the
banks of the Tennessee, where they
whipped them. After warning about
twenty-five negroes to leave the place,
the masked men rode away. The raid
followed ii warning Of two weeks ago
to all negroes to leave Birmingham.
