ittn part of Leon county near the ‘ Geor

date line of November 3rd and reads as
follows: ’
Prompt action by Sheriff Hopkins is
all that prevented a bloody battle in the
northern part of Leon county yesterday
and to-day.
Saturday evening M. M. Mash, a clerk
in T. J. Hutto’s store at Miocosukie,
about eighteen miles north-of Tallahas
see got into a difficulty with a negro,
who attempted to carve him with a
knife. In order to protect himself,
Mash knocked his assailant down with
an axe handle^.
This enraged the negroes present to
such an extent that they attempted to
kill Mash. - There were fdur or five
white men present, but they were forc
ed to retreat into the store, which they
barricaded. All the negroes in .that
* section of the county surrounded the
store.
The men on the inside kept them off
until Sunday morning, when word was
sent to^Gov. Jennings, notifying him
