He lived on the farm of J. E. Wood. The man had been picked up for drunken ness on the afternoon of the pro ceeding day when he was standing in the middle of the highway, leading out of town trying to flag a ride, widely waving his arms with utter disregard of the pos sibility of being run over. He was placed in the jail by the patrolman and the chief of po lice. Another Negro who was locke^ in an adjoining cell said that he was talking to the man late that night, but that he suspected no thing until he discovered the mishap after the police arrived the next morning. This is ex plained by the fact that a brick wall separates the cells. The mem had torn the iron bed apart and evidently had taken the side bar and pried the loWer por tion of the iron grilled door open to such a degree as to make an attempt to crawl through appear a possibility. Evidently the door sprang back as he was attempting to get through catching his neck between it and the door jamb. Death was apparently caused by choking, though some blood was drawn by the mishap. Coroner Rowe was called from Weldon and pronounced the death an accident. naraison - wuwb A lovely wedding was solemniz ed in the First Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio, Sunday, December 19th at four-thirty, when Miss Carol Jean Click, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emerson A.
