THE EVENING GALL. VoL X No ' i9s ' A lf armed body of men Take Henry Hanis From His Honu and Give Him Severe Beating'. Henry Harris, an insolent negro living in this city, was given a severe beating last night by a party of un known men, The affair grew out of the crime of Sam Holt, and was caused by remarks be made in connection with Holl’s es cape from hie pursuers The particulars, as far as can be learned, as as follows : Harris was talking with some white men yesterday afternoon, when they offered him $lO if he would tell them where they ceu'd Holt. Harris replied that "be did not know where Holt was, a&d it he did, he would be d d if he would tell them or any one else, but would help to conceal him. He was tired of hearing of negroes being lynched by d d poor white people, and if they ever attempted to harm him, he would show them something.” Harris continued hurling his threat* and invectives against the white peos pie, and expressing his sympathy for Holt, but nothing was done to him at that time. Last night near nine o’clock a party of about 25 mtn, armed with guns and rifles, quietly made their way to the home of Harris, almost in the heart of this city, and forced an en trance to the house. Securing the horrified negro, whose braggardoicaism had turned into pit eous cries for mercy, they carried him out to the western part of the city, in the direction of the now famous tree on which two negro rapists have been banged. As the party neared this tree, the negro thought be was to be the third victim, and bis cries made hideous the night hours. Reaching a clump of pine trees, the negro was bound and then given a terrible beating, with clubs and poles, while the muzzles of guns were prodded in hie sides. After be had received a lesson he will never forget, he was unbound and the men dispersed, after warning Harris to bo more careful of his utterances in the future. Harris was seen by a Call repor ter today, and he had u dilapidated appearance. He could barely walk, his face is covered with wounds and his head is bandaged to close a fearful gash over his left eye. He says the attack was uncalled for, and denies using the language attrib uted to him. He claims he was asked to join a party and search for Holt but he declined, saying he knew noth ing of the whereabouts of the negro, and as be had to work for his living, he could not afford to lose the time. Those who know Harris, place no confidence in hie tale, claiming he wag one of the most insolent negroes in the city, and have no doubts as to hie having made the remarks which called down upon bis head the just indigna tion of the whites.

A. ' Cooper, a prominent farmer of Pike county, who lives near where the ne e gro is thought to be working Mr. Cooper reported the fact to the 8 officers, and in a short time a posse 7 was formed and left with all possible > speed to capture the negro. i Smith, with whom the strange negro 1 is working, lives within half a mile of ! Mr. Cooper, and the supposed to be > Holt has been seen by two of his sons 1 They describe him as being a yellow I negro, weighing about 150 pounds, > with one or two front teeth out. 1 Their suspicions were aroused, and upon inquiry from Smith, they learn- 1 ed that the negro had applied for 1 something to eat and for work, and being in need of a hand, Smith had • employed him. Mr. Cooper says that Holt has a brother living in that neighborhood, 1 and the place is especially adapted for 1 hiding a fugitive from justice. The farm on which he is working is bound ed on one side by Potato creek swamp, which is so thick that a rabbit can hardly penetrate into its rank under growth, and a man can hide in it and have no fears of capture. Mr. Cooper in passing through Or chard Hill, told of the strange negro, and be says a large posse left from that place also. Unless the posse which left here captures the negro they will hardly be beard from before late tonight, as the place is about twelve miles from Griffin and it was 4 o’clock before they got off.

Officials Say There is Nothing in the Arougii Samoan Story. Washington, April 21.—The report brought to Victoria, B. C , by the steamer from Apia, that the command er of the German cruiser Falke had been arrested in Samoa by the British and American authorities, on charge . of furnishing the Mataafans with arms, is discredited at the nsvy department. The last dispatch from Admiral Kautr was dated April 4th, and contained no news of that cbaractei, and as the steamer arriving at Victoria left Apia before that d»te, the report is unques tionably wrong.

"There’s evidence of the truth of what I said. ‘Don’t be foolish" Did you ever speak to me that way before we married?” “No, my dear, I did not,” be admit ted. “Then,” sbe said, reproachfully, “my slightest wish was law ; then you never sat like a dummy, smoking a cigar and reading a paper, when I was in the room ; then you seemed anxious to please me and was ever on the watch to do little favors for me ” “Il is true,” he admitted. “You were never lazy then,” she went on. “You were full of life and spirits, and energetic.” “My dear,” he interrupted in that calm, dispass’onate tone that makes the average wife want to get a poker or a broom, ‘did you ever see a boy trying to get an apple or cherry that was out of his reach?” “Certainly,” she answed, “but—” "He keeps jumping and jumping until he gets it, don’t he?" “Os course.” “But does be continue jumping after he has got it?” “Certainly not, there’s no need of it.” “Well,” he said, as he turned to his paper again, “you’re my cherry, and I don’t see the slightest reason why I should keep on jumping, any more than the boy.” She didn’t say anything, but she thought and thought, and the more she thought the more more undecided did she become as to whether she ought to be angry with him or not.
