 Its Effect.
NEGROES FIRED-RAN
Three We're killed, and That Finished SchOOlmaster Murphy's Army
 The Little Rock Fight Later.

Cornerstone, Ark, Aug. 21-The student of history may not be able to recall the story of the battle of Cor nerstone. but for this the historians are to blame, for there was a battle of Cornerstone, and it was one of the decisive engagements of the war of which it was part. The battle of Cornerstone was fought during the early days of the Brooks Baxter war, the memorable struggle for the con- tro of the State government of Arkan- sas which was waged in the spring of 1874. The battle was a decisive one, for the reason that it came at a time when this region of the State was in turmoil and the people were fearful of uprising on the part of the negroes, who were being urged to rally to the support of Brooks The result of the battle put quietus upon the agitators in this locality and prevented what might have been serious conflict
 The country road running along the side of Kings bayou. on the outskirts of the little settlement of Cornerstone, was the battle field which the engage ment was fought A rail fence run ming along the side of this road form ed the breastworks from behind which the Brooks forces attempted to make a stand against the Baxter army. :" ! and at one point there is still standing the trunk of a big tree behind which ! it is said at least half a dozen of the Brooks soldiers" sought safety when the bullets began to fly This tree is 1 the only monument left to mark the ] historic battlefield.
 The battle at Cornerstone was one of the earliest engagements in the Brooks Baxter war, and it was also one of the bloodiest skirmishes. Three negroes who were members of the
 Brooks band were killed and several
 white men on the opposing side were
 wounded.
 1 Negro uprising Feared.
 Among the latter were John Bogv 1 Williams who is now constable of this
 Bogy, township, and Col. James w. Corcoran. who was a prominent re-
 sident of this section.
 Soon after the conflict between the I Brooks and Baxter forces was preclp- itated by the action of Brooks in selz- ing the governors office and ousting Governor Baxter, who had been de-
 clared elected by the general Assemb-
 ly, young Irish school teacher
 named Murphy, who was teaching 2 Inegro school in this vicinity. began to !organfze al company of negroes with

which he proposed to go to the aid of Brooks He soon gathered band of about 300 negroes, most of whom were well armed. The presence of this armed body of negroes caused alarm among the white residents, who did not know what might result from a general uprising among negroes.
 When the word reched Pine Bluff that a band of negroes had been or Sanized and armed. party of about 7o white men left that city, under the leadership of Gen. H. King White. a former adherent of Brooks. who through one of the peculiar eXigencies that marked that struggle was then of Governors BaXter'S chief lieuteants. Gen. White and his little band of fol- lowers secured a boat at Pine Bluff and came down the river They dis embarked at a point few miles from of the negro force that had been rais- ed by Murphy. Gen. White and his
 followers were mounted, but were armed chiefly with side arms. After riding across the country for several miles the company came upon the band of negroes, entrenched behind the rail fence along the road near Cornerstone.

An Opera BOufie Battle.

While it was a serious piece of busi- ness and had it's tragic results, the battle had its comic side and savored somewhat of the opera bouffe. At the . time it was serious enough, but it is the comic side of the affray which is
