Two other negro women have been ar
rested on the same charge but one OF

she was able to be moved.
It all grew out Of a very small mat
ter and was kept very quiet, no one
in Newberry except the officers know
ing Of it until yesterday afternoon.
It took place on Tuesday morning
about ten o'clock on Mr.. S. B. Aull IS
place near Jalapa only seven miles
from Newberry. The facts as g-ther-
ed from Mr.. P. B. 0dell, who is the
constable for Magistrate Aughtry, are
as follows: Mr.. J. C. Duncan had a
contract with Kitty Glasgow to work
for this year. Brack Glasgow VINO
lives on Mr.. Aull's place it is charg-
ed moved Kitty from Mr.. Duncan 5
place in the night time. Mr.. Duncan
had a warrant taken out for Kitty
for violation of contract and one
against Brack Glasgow for enticing
labor. The warrant was sworn out
before Magistrate Aughtry at Whit
mire, and placed in the hands Of Mr..
P. B. Odell, as constable, to be exc
cuted. On Tuesday morning Mr.. Odell
accompanied by Mr.. Duncan went to
Mr.. Aull's place at Jalapa to arrest
the parties. They arrested Kitty
Glasgow and took her to a negro s
house on Mr.. AulI's place where she
was left until warrant for Brack
had been executed. He was at Jack
sons house on the same place. Mr..
Odell and Mr.. Duncan rode up to the
gate and Mr.. Odell called him out and
told him that he had a warrant for
his arrest. He came to the gate and
Constable Odell read the warrant to
him. Brack said he was not going to
be arrested and was not going. Mr..
Odell insisted that he come and told
him it was only small offence and
might be settled but that resisting an
officer was very serious matter and
might cause considerable trouble. A
negro woman who was standing on
the piazza spoke up and said '"Pa
wasn't going mo where. y Several
negro women then came out on the
piazza of Jackson's house, and they
got into a general discussion. Mr..
Odell in the meantime insisted that it
would be better for them to be quiet,
and advised the negro women to hush.
They paid no attention to him. In
the meantime Brack became angry
and swore he would die before ne
would submit to arrest and go with
the officer. Mr.. Odell insisted that the
row stop and that Brack 60 with him
as he ought to do. Brack still refus-
ed and Mr.. Oden went in the gate
and told Brack he was going to take
him. Brack drew his knife and
swore he would die bciore he would
go. At this juncture the women on the
piazza went into the house and re-
turned with two shot guns. In the
meantime there were two Of the wo-
men who had come out and gathered
ND pick and mattox and drew them on
Mr.. J. c.. Duncan and made at him
with them. The women who had the
guns ran out with them. Mr.. Odell
seeing the gun aimed towards him
swung around a tree near by and In
this way avoided a shot which was
fired and which passed within foot
Of his person.
ASsoon as the shot was fired Mr..
Odell who had his pistol in his hand
shot at the women. Three shots were
then fired at Mr.. Odell and Mr.. Dun
can with the guns from the crowd on
the porch. Brack in the meantime
having joined the, women on the porch
and probably firing one Of the shots.
Mr.. Odell fired five times with his
pistol at Brack and the women. Mr..
Odell and Mr.. Duncan were not shot
but one of the women, Winnie Glas-
gov was shot between the ankle and
the knee and Brack received one
wound in the knee. Mr.. Odell having
no further ammunition and having
exhausted all the chambers Of his pls-
tol he and Mr.. Duncan retired, mount
ed their horses and returned to Mr..
Dnncan's home.
