The negro reaped the clue reward for his criminal inten'. as Mrs. Elliott with undaunted courage that would have done honor to any, killed him, at her door step. The story us related by reliable parties, who live in West \\ atereo, is as follows: Mrs Elliott's nearest neighbor, was Ned Kendrick, who lived with his family about 100 yards from her house; the next nearest neighbors were some white people, about a quarter of a milo distant. Kendrick had been living there about three years and hud worked at the C?>m;ue-I saw mill.

K end rick appeared in front--of the. shed room, began to curse young Elliott, tired e ll a pistol, nnd warned him ho would shoot him if he poked his he id out of the window, that he "had the light gang with him!'' He then went on to Mrs. Elliott's,back door lircd his pistol again, cursed her and told her to! keep <piiot or lie would shoot her. ' lie then began to batter down the front door with an axe. Mrs. Elliott recognized Kendrick by his voice, and locked the back door just as he Altered the room, armed with a gun and pistol; by the front door at the same moment Allen Elliott rushed into ti c room through the door just opened by his mother. Then it was that Mrs Elliott, in mortal terror that the intruder would shoot her unarmed son, jumped at Keudrick like a tigress and winding her arms around him pinioned his arms to his body, at tho same instant her son seized him by tho throat and began to choke him. In the scuttle that followed all mrco roll and rolled out of the house. Mrs. ICIliott jumped up. j wrenched the negro's pistol out <>t j his hand, and beat him over the' head with it till it broke and then crushed his skull by hammering it with a rock till ho died. Had it not been that the negro was weakened by a spell of fever tho out conic of the light would have been doubtful us he was when in full health, a powful man, weighing fully 210 pounds, and g Allen is an overgrown, not vtp . trong slip of a hoy. .
