Shenandoah Herald. (Woodstock, Va.) April 1, 1869
We regret to learn that Mr. James Foster, living in that portion of Warren county
known as Hominy Hollow, was, as is supposed, mortally wounded, on Saturday last. It
appears that a negro man living in that community, had several colored women living
in his house whose outrageous conduct so exasperated the citizens that they
determined to rid themselves of their unpleasant neighbors, and in accordance with
such determination, a number of the citizens proceeded to the residence of the negro
and notified him to leave, &c., which he did until some time during the following
night, when the negro becoming alarmed at the determination of the party, fired upon
them from the window, which resulted in wounding Mr. Foster, which has, in all
probability, proved fatal before this time.
