The bul let took effect in her head, making a most horrible wound, and as soon as he saw Lis victim dying the mur derer dashed out of the house and made a run for the country. George Lane, a well-known negro in east Ral- eign, saw ixvejoy running ana neara the shot and he haised the hue and cryt He and other negroes pursued and the man was chased tnrougn a truck farm, where he threw away his gun, presently getting rid of his coat and he was next seen in the pond in the old granite quarry. The quarry wau surrounded. Lovejoy was inhe water up to his neck. He was forced to come out by his captors, who be sides Lane were Ernest Riddick, Alexander Atwater and William Wal ton, and those brought him in a hur- ry to the court house, followed by a- ,.. 1 e n, o gieat number of other negroes, feel ing being pretty high against Love- joy.

Mrs. Lillian Davis, Shaw's victim, is in a desperate condition and her life is despaired of. The wounded men in the night's battle are receiv ing every attention. The coroner's jury investigating the riot, found that Leander Shaw came to his 3eath at the hands of men unknown to them. The jury is also to investigate the death of Kellum, who was shot and-killed in the scuf fle at the jail.
