The L l Grange Reporter states that our
town was somewhat excited on lust Tueed ty
tiight hy the cutting of Miles Tharpe. by
Reese Morgan, both oo hired. From the
f iets that we can gather, it seems that Reese
Morgan was drunk, and Milts Tharpe had
been summoned by tho Marshall to arrest
him, which they pr cceded to do, when
Reese Mobgan drew his knife and plunged
it to the hilt in Miles Tharpe, causing his
intestines to protru le ah* ut 8 inches. Our
fellow townsman, Mr. J >bn N. Cooper, was
also cut by Reese during the melee, but only
very slightly. Reese was carried to jail,
where he is now awaiting the action ot the
authorities. Miles Tharp is now lying in
a very critical situation. He was a hard
working colored man and was thought a
great deal of by our citizens.
