Bloody ltaee lVar.
Jackson, Tenn., Jan. 13. There nre
$Tave apprehensions of a bloody race
war at (ireentldd, Tenn. A few nights
ago two urgrs: went to the farm
house of Mrs. J ones, a widow, and at
tempted to assault her. The woman
recognized one of the negroes and told
he neighbors.
The following night a body of
masked men went to theliome' of ihe
negro and was greeted by a volley of
shot.
The men riddled. tint house with bul
lets andthe negro was shot in the
throat, but escaped to the bottoms and
remained on a slump all night almost
naked, surrounded ly water.
In the morning he was caught and
whipped nearly to death. Yesterday a
itrange voting white man came to
town and bought thirty-live f masks.
The negroes hate been buying guns
in 'I HfruiniMJf'nnd is expected nt any
