Tbe dotal! of tbe killing of tbe cven negroes are meager. Taylor, Frazlo, Piko and Sherad were together about sunset last night They were regarded as four of the ring louder of the conspiracy to kill and burn and were especially sought for. Half a dezin whites, one of whom Is aid to huve been Isrm'i brother-in-law mine upon them suddenly and ordered them to submit to arrest. One of the negroes answered with a shot that struck one of the whiles and the four blacks were shot down In their tracks. The other three were caught one at a time.

Many of Isom' neighbors, who aro In the crowd, it Is said, will not listen to any peaceful talk.

Isom was here Thursday, and wbllo in town bad so mo words with Wavcrly Pine, a negro, living his neighborhood. Apparently, everything was smoothed over wbcu he left for home.

After arriving there he started with Henry Tillman, a brother-in-law, for Capt. Tillman's home. About half a milo from Isom's they mot four negroes, Piko and West McCall and two Herring boys. They camo riding over Isom. Ho said: Look out; don't run over me," and bad just stepped out the way.

Just then Pike drew a pistol and, without a word, fired, tno bullet piercing Isom's heart. Pike and McCall each fired three shots at the prostrate body si Isom, and they then broke for their horse. Piko mado his escape but McCall nnd iho Herring wore arrested and aro io jail. In this present excitement there is gruve danger of these throe being lynched. Mysterious order.
