- THE TRUE FACTS
ABOUT THE MORGAN RIOT LAST
TUESDAY.
Four White ®en and Several Ne.
groes Wounded,
On last Tuesday several parties
went from this county to Morgan
to witness the hanging of Polk
Newtoo,
They were disappointed, as on
Surday night Capt. . E. Boyd
passed through Dawson on his
way to Atlanta to see the Governs
or, and on Monday nizht e again
passed through the city returuing
from Atianta to Morgan wi‘h a
reprieve from the Governor for the
condemned man. Captain Boyd
aeached Morgan Tuesday a few
moments before the execution was
to have taken plice, and Newtou’s
neck was saved for a few days at
least.
The Terrell county fellows missed
seeing the hanging, but were high=
ly entertained by witnessing a riot
that oceurred during the day.
Many reports have been cur
rent since the riot, but probably
the most correct is the one from
the Leary Courier, which is pub
lished in Calhotu county. . .
Messrs. John and Ben Arnold,
who were wounded, are sons of
Mr. Ww. Arnold, of this county.
The Courier says :
About 1 J'elock, a negro by
name of Mat Gregg, on the Court
House square, became enraged ata
litt'e son of Mr. Paul Hill Slade,
of Dawson, and gave thalittle boy
a terrible cursing. For this Mars
shal Embry and Builit Mills im
mediately took him in hand and
started with him to the ecalaboose.
Matt Gregg at first off red no re~
sistance to the officers, but his
brother, Tom Gregg, came run-«
ning upand s3id “no g—d d—m
marshal sho' 1d arrest his brother.”
He was followed by a lacge crowd
of negroes who piessed arcund the
officers, and obstructed them in
their progress to the culaboose. A
number of white men, with drawn
pistols, sprang to the oflicers’ as«
sistance, and breasting together,
cleared the way so that the officers
might proceed with their prisoner.
The crowd of negrees, brandishing
knives, and uttering threats
against the whites, followed close
and pressed against the calaboose
at least fifty yards, when, secing
the determination of the officers to
hold their prisoner, some of the
negroes made a rush to release the
prisoner, and here the rint com
menced. Who fired the first shot
is known, and is a neg o; when |
the smoke had cleared away from ‘
jhe scene, not less then forty shets
had been fired, and the r(-sultsj
were found to beas follows: |
Mr. John Arnold, shot in the
bowels—dangerous and may di -. ‘
Mr. Ben Arnold, shot in the
right shoulder - flesh wound and i
not dangerous, 7 i
Mr. Rufus Lawrence, eut. about
the neck and face—not seriously. ‘
Mr. Walter Ragar, shot in the
rig’htvshoulder—flesh wound and
not dangerous. ‘
Matt Gregg, shot in the shoulds
er—not dangerously. |
Arother nezro, name not known,
cut in the neck--not seriounsly.
All accourts agree that several
nezroes were shot and taken away
by their friends before any account
could be taken of thera.
When the riot begun a great
many of the negroes sought safety
in flight, but a great many con
tinued to press after the officers,
who having been reinforeed h_\"
about forty white men, proceeded
to retorn Wwith their prisoner.
Sheriff Gladden here came upon
the scene, and taking the prisoner
in charge, no further resistance
was oftered. Mat Gregg and an
other negro were taken before a
magistrate and placed under a bond
of twenty-five dollars cach.
The riot teok place g 0 quickly
that many white people had not
time to appreciate the serious as
pect of the matter, but it was not
long after the riot had been quelled
betore the streets of Morgan wera
bristling with Winchesters and
shot guuns.
At a late hour the negroes had
all dispersed, and the town author
itics felt pretty certain that no
further trouble would ensue.
‘ LATER,
i Warrants, charginz them with
riot, bave been sworn out against
gix or eight negroes,four of whom,
' Bob Richardson, of Shellman, Sol
' Rowell, who lived with Mr. Harp,
er Daniel, Jeff Graves, the black
smith of Leary, and a negro whose
name we could not learn, have
been arrested and jailed.
Mr. John Arnold is getting
along moderately well and hopes
are entertained for his recovery.
Mr. Ben Arnold and Walter
Ragan are getting along nicely.
In support of the theory that
more negroes were shot than were
at first supposed to have been, we
learn that Dr. Clements has attends
ed four negroes since the riot, all
of whom were suffering from gun
shot wounds, and whe refuse to
divulge wl ere they received them.
et
A WHITE MAN SHOOTS A NEGRO.
Disgraceful Affair at the House of
A Negro Woman.
‘There came near being another
serious tragedy ata disreputable
house in this city on last Wednes
day night.
On that night Sylvester W ilson,
a negro barber, was shot by a
white man who, with a compan
ion. was in the house of a negro
woman.
It seems that these white men,
who are guirds at the convict
camps on the Columbus Southern,
were discovered in the woman's
house by Wilson, who began curs .
ing them and threatened to kill
them. He called to Lis assistance
three or four other negroes and
they surrounded the house to keep
the white men from escaping. Wils
son then pushed the door open and
as he entered was fired upon by one
of the white men, the ball entering
his leit arm.
Wilson #etreated from the door,
but he and his friends still held the
fort bykeeping the house surround.
cd and the two white men hemmed
in uutil officers appeared on the
seene and puiled the whole gang.
At mayor’s court next morning
the white men were fined $5 each
and Wilsou is paying a fine of $2O
by working on the streets.
A RATLROAD NEGRO SHOT.
On last Tuesday night, while a
crowd of lahorers were returning
from the city to the Columbus
Southern camps, they were rocked
and one of them shot in the leg
just beyond the Central freight de=
pot. Chief Hatcher soon secured
evidence sufficient to convict Jas
per Dlackshear, and on Thursday
he was fined 10 by Mayor Cheat-~
ham for shooting in the city.
Sherift Thorntoa then toowx charge
ot Blackshear for the more serious
erime of shooting the negro and at
a commitial trial he was placel un
der a bond cf £2OO.
City Ceuneil in Session. |
The city councii held its regular
monthly session Monday night.
Tiiere were present Mayor Cheat- ‘
ham and aldermen Deublerr, Ram
cy, Hannah and Kailer. ‘
Thespecial taxes for 1890 were fix~
el and are published in this morn- ‘
ing's paper. An orlinance was
passed compelling trains to ruu‘
through the city at the rate of four
miles per hour and also an ordinance
probibiting the blockading of any‘
crossing by a train longer th:m‘
eight n.inutes. Another ordinauce'
prohibiting bieycle riding on the
sidenalks of the business streets
was pissed, also an ordinance mak- ‘
ing it an offense for any one to ap i
pear on the streets drunk. |

The survey of the etrects
by the city council, with the
view of having the fences of all
parties who had eneroached upon
them moved iu, was discontinuved
vesterday. Major Hood, who
drew the city map, says it is not
correct. That being the case, the
council is powerless and can pro

Her People the First to Pay Their
Subscriptions to the Columbus
Southern .
Mr. Clif B. Grimes, treasursr ot
the Columbus Southern Railway
Co., has been to Atbany to see why
the people of thatcity havenot paid
their subscriptions to the road
more promptly. The following 1s
a portion of an interview had with
Inm by a reporter of the Albany
News and Advertiser:
“How long before the road will
reach Dawson 2
“If the weather is favorable
trains willbe running into Dawsoa
in fifceen or twenty days.”
*“You will then push through to
Albany : .
“Well, you see weare pushing to
Albany now just as fast as men can
build the road, but we have only
reached Dawson. You can count
on it that your people will see the
Tolumbus Southern completed to
Albany betore the flowers that
bloom in the spring will unfold
themselves.” '
“How far is the track lxid "
“To within six or seven miles of-
Dawson and it is prdgreging at the
rate of over a mile a day.” j o
“low is the fiandfl seondition
of the road ?’ A% 1
*“That's the question that comes
right home to me, and that’s why
I'm in your city now. Albany
subseribed $25,000 to the road and
ouly three-f>urths of the subserip
tion has been called for. Only about
£lB.OOO has been asked for from
this point and something over 85,-
000 has been paid,ncarly one-third
ot the amount. The contragtors have
gone ahead. aud not only exerted
themselves building the road, but
are equipping it. Every rail has
been bought and is mow in Colum
bug, enough to finish laying the
track nght into Albany, every
tressle has been built, the best rolls
ing stock that can be bought is on
the road, and all thizs has been
paid for. The contractors paid for
it, and now they must be paid
“Every subscriber to stock in
Dawson has paid up the entirve
amount and they have their cer
tifiecates of stock. Byt some one
suggested that those parties can
look out and see the road right at
their doors and you can’t over
here. So far as that’s concerned,
youknow the road is within 20
miles of you and coming here just
as fast as it can be buiit, and there
is no need to hold back any longer.

TOO WARM FOIL THEM.
Mayor Pro Tem Deubler Making it
Livelv for Disreputable Charae
ters,
In the absence of Mayor Cheate
ham, Mayor Pro Tem Deubler fre
quently presides over the city conrt
and dispenses justice to transgress
ors.
There is one class of sinncrs he
shows no mercy—the keepers of
disreputable houses.
He bas declared war on them
and has caused more than one of
these women to fold their tents and
leave for parts unknown.
A negro woman of this stripe
was recently fined $5O and a term
ot several months on the streets for
keeping a disorderly house, but
the sentence was afterwards suse
pended with & promise from her
to leave the city and never retarn.
Since this there seems to be a feels
ing of uneasiness among others of
that stripe, and as the police have
been ivstructed to keep them un
der strict surveilance, it is not un—
likely that others may follow in
the footsteps of the woman men
tioned above. |
The News Jearns that sufficient
evidence hag been secured to con
vict other women,_of keeping. dis
orderly houses and the lightuing is
liable to strike at any time,
