On Wednesday night some little disturbance aroae amoDg the males uear the oonvict camp a Bhort distance out of town on the Beatty'a Ford road. By the order of some of the bosses, the trusty, Jno. Knox, who still wears bis tripee and chains, together with Henry Phifer, who is with the claiu pang, but who wears no stres and chains, went to attend to the animals. Near 10 o'clock that nisht three neroes were seen to pass the corner. Chiei of Polioe Boger was informed at onoe of the mat ter. II a started in pursuit of the cegroeB. When he was nearing tbeni he called for them to halt. This happened when the negroes were about in front of Mr. Gowan 'jDnsenburT's residenoe. Instead of halting the negroes commenoed to run. This ot oourse made the matter worse and Chief then had rt,K"on to make still more of an effort. After they failed to stop Mr. Boger fired at them, but this did not stop them. Just as they were turning the oorner at the Episcopal church he fired at them again. One of the nfigroes was cap tnred in front of Mr. Jas. Ervin's residence on Spring street, but the other two made good their escape. The'nRro, Prince Loman, who was captured, was found to be bhot in the right side but the skin was only grazed slightly and he was not hurt but bdly scared. This is a case where an officer, in trying to capture parties who were acting unwisely, hit one of the inou. It is strictly against the mien, if they are carried out, for the superintendent of the chain gwij to lot any trusty be out of the camp at night and this was sufficient reason for Mr. Boger to try to make the arrest, not withstanding the fact that they fled from his oommand to halt. The two negroes who made their escape, Jno. Knox and Henry Phifer, did not return to the chain gang Wednesday night. a publkTmeeting mt tm Taaetaara to Ra Held The KlftMin ar Mast nlh na Data Kryolr la lavliad to aftcaa Tho meeting of teachers to be held in Concord has been ar ranged for Feb. 11th.

Wtdneeday afternoon Messrs. J 0 Black and John Foieoian, both of whom are liverymen in Ualieburj, had a difficulty at Brown's stable". In the fisticuff Black got the better of Foreman and beat him somewbst. On Wtdnerday night about 7 30 the cracklDg of a pia'ol was heard near the oornar at the Natl nal bsnk. A crowd soon gathered) around and at tbe same time Mr. Black tan into Gibson's drag store uh wounds from a pistol. Mr B!ok's statement Is that bad started to Brown's stuble and was fired npon. There Is a difference of opinion aa to the number of shots fired but upon examination by Dr R 8 Yoong, assisted by Drs. Snioot and Bur'ey- aon, it was found that Mr. Blaoc wa shot three times once in boch his right and left ankle and once in the abdomen on tbe right side, Oue ball was taken from his ankle. The otber two wounds were only dressed sufficiently to give him no trouble in getting borne yet tbat night on No. 38. One bullet, as previously men- tioned, entered on the right side of his abdomen. On tbe left aid quite a dark, bine p'acc was found, bnt there was no opening of tbe ekic thai tbe ballet could have pataec" ont. This ba li t was not located while here. Tins is Mr. BlackV greatest danger front the shooting. If the ball did not enter tbe bowelb he is in no dinger. Just after the shooting occurred a man was seen by several parties ron n'ng down Est Depot street Chief of Police Boger, together with sev eral o'her officer a, pursued tbe man. hn they had gotten down abont Mr. Ot-o.

A 38 calibre Ameri can Bulldog'piatol was found on Mr. Foreman. Without a trial, bat npon the ad- yloe of Judge Shaw, tho mn was taken intooustody and Chief Boger, wbo made the arrest, tamed him over to Sheriff Peck. Mr. Fores man at once employed Jndge Monts gomery as his counsellor. After giving Mr. Foreman his sapper at a restnorajit he was taken to jail. The shooting took place nearly at the oorner of the Nitional bank between the central telephone office and the corner. An eye witness in forms os tbat Mr, Black was only eight or ten steps from tbe pistol when it fired first. B ith of tbe men, Messrs. Fore man and Blaok, are large men. Both are respectable people and neither one is considered of a low character. Mr. Foreman, at his own expense, bad guards about him at his room in the jil Wednesday night and was furmal ed a nioe room in the jjil in stead of being taken to a cell. Mr. Foreman is bruised consider ably on the face and forehead. From It.
