DALLAS COUNTY MAN ASSAULTED
 BY NEGROES.
Citizen of Central Mills fn . Critical Condition and His Assailants are at Large-Central
 City NeWu.

Selma. March 25.-(special.)-Re- ports received here today from the Central Mill neighborhood is that P. U. Threadgill of Arlington, who was struck over the head there on Tuesday morning with stick is in dangerous condition.
 Tho attending physician is stated to be very uneasy about his patient and do not think that he will recover from his injury which he received.
 The two negroes. Harvey Hayes and Jerry Coleman have Aot boon arrested by officers. and are still making threats that they will not be taken alive. The justice of the peace in that neighborhood issued warrants for the two negroes but as they were not arrested Tuesday, he considers 1t best to wait until sentiment. in the neigh borhood quiets down before executing the warrants for the negroes and send ing an officer after them.
 MT. Threadgill, the young man who was probably fatally wounded. had nothing whatever to do with the two negroes. 1t is stated today. He was an innocent witness to a quarrel be- tween the two negroes and a white man, but 1t Is thought that the two negroes took their spite out on him when they hit him over the head and inflicted the dangerous wound.
 From the report which was received here today 1t seems that the difficulty started between c. C. Hayes, white man. and Harvey Hayes and Jerry Coleman, negroes, and that the negro who hit young Threadgill over the head was Harvey Hayes. Mir. Hayes got after Jerry Coleman about a debt. Harvel Hayes being with Jerry Coleman at the time. MT. threadEill was with MT. Hayes when the quarrel started.
 It is believed in the Central Mills that the two negroes had made up a plot to kill MT. Hayes when he spoke to them. But of the negroes had open knives in their hands at the time and spoke roughly to the white men when they were accosted.
