Riot Against Black Mill Men.
ELDORADA, Ark., Nov. 12.-- Serious
trouble has broken out among the white
and colored men of the South Arkanas
Lumber Company, situated near here, and
the Sheriff was sent for to go out and
quell the riot. It seems that the whites
object to the presence of blacks in the
woods, and banded themselves together and
began a work for examination with shot-
guns. Several negroes are said to have
been shot. Details are meagre. The
Sheriff summoned a posse and left for the
scene immediately.
