"Will Johnson Was Tracked t
His Pkc oi Hiding.
The negro who did the shooting
on the yard of the Enteprise Lum
ber Company Friday and wound
ed Will Arrington, and who made
for the woods as soon as he had done
the deed, was captured in a negro
shanty across Neuse River on the
Buckhorn plantation Friday af
ternoon. His name is Will Johnson.
He crossed Xeuse river in a canoe
belonging to Ivey Jones, who was
setting some fish nets at the time.
Four policemen with the sheriff and
a deputy and Mr. Jesse Causey were
soon on the negroe's trail, and he
was tracked to his place of hiding.
He refused to open the door, which
was forced open. He had the gun
with which he did the shooting, but
made no attempt to - use it. He was
brought to the city and placed in
the guard house to await the prelim
inary hearing before Mayor Hood.
An amusing feature of the capture,
and one that shows that the negroes,
as a rule, will shield one of their race
from the officers even when an at
tempt has been made to kill another
of their race, was the tale told by the
negro woman to Mr. Causey, who
was the first to reach the scene. The
woman at first hesitated and then
said that a negro man had been there
with a shotgun, but he had
gone down toward the river. While
some of the crowd were hunting in
the river woods the balance came
upon the shanty. The woman had
gone off and left two little girls in
the yard and the doors of.the house
were locked. When the officers came
up one of them asked the little girls
if they had seen a negro man with
a gum and the oldest girl said yes,
and told the tale that the woman
had told just a few minutes before,
saving "he had
down to the
woods, "whereupon the younger girl
said: "Io he aint;

for keeping chickens out of the gar

them scratching up everything on

to cut off their tails right close be
hind the ears. Or if your wife is a
good marksman get her to throw a
rock at them. Either wTorks well at
our house, and we are not as much
annoyed at present as we have been.
We learn that an enterprising wo
man, who was noted for her economy
mixed saw-dust with the meal she
fed her chickens, and found that
they were equally as thrifty. Some
time after she set a hen and in the
regular course of time she hatched
eleven wooden-legged chickens and
one sap-sucker. For further particu
lars we refer you to our good friend
and neighbor Mr. Jno.
