When Hllllard recovered, he told of ficers two negroes had attacked them. Killing Lee with an axe. The descrip tions hs gave were similar to the ones given by Miss Powell and Crickmore. Hllllard also said the negroes took his shotgun. Officers believe both at tacks were committed by the same negroes. ' During the height of the man-hunt yesterday, members of the posse saw two negroes bellsved to be the men wanted, go into a brush patch. Ths brush was set afire, but the negroes were not seen to lesve. A search after the fire had died down failed to v nearer any signs of them and no trail conld he picked up by the blood hounds. 7. W.

The first to appear upon the scene was the Spirit of Spring in gay colors, who, with her gentle breath, wakened the sleeping rosebuds, who. In turn, filled with new life, danced about In glee, glad to welcome one so beaalMul and so kind. As the rosebqds ceased .their danc ing, in came groups of happy children revelling in the warmth of Springtime, glad to be able to mingle once more 'midst singing birds and blossoming flowers.
