S. God win awd Sheriff L. F. Overman brought a big Negro man up to The man fought with the two officers and broke away from them. As he started to run across ,he street in front of the jail, Patrolman Godwin fired his pistol in the air and he fell flat in the street. Gotti g up. he started run ning down the street in front of the courthouse, Barry and I had also seen him coming and we started running down the side walk ahead of him. Randal went back to where the sheriff and Patrolman were standing. Barry turned up the alley and I kept run ing. Until I got to the bar; er shop the big Negro was within two or three yards of me. I thought he was staying close to me to keep the officer from shooting as he might be afraid he would hit me. He turned into the alley by the barber shop and I went on to Brown's grocery. In a mon er.t I came outside and met Randal and Barry again and we walked down the street to Mr. Peter Cross' store and 1 saw the Negro turn in near the home of Mr, J. G.

This is a pretty good news story, but I don’t like the way I had to get it. (Editor's Note) Being away from i home at the time the fpregoing ! story was happening, the editor re- i | turned to find all lights ablaze at home and the house locked tight. After proper identification son Dale turned in the Morris family. He was sitting in the middle of the living room with a loaded shot gun and rifle. Contrary to what the horsey i set says, a bookie is a man who runs a bookshop. New York City j police recently raided a haunt of i bookworms and turned up a! thriving nag-betting service.
