A Mysterious Murder.
Bellsvins Progress, ISL

Ooii0Nlho AIVBhehot WsI
Phil Davis, colored, who has been
working on the farm Of I. W. Hardy,
one and a half miles west Of Bells,
this year, was foully murdered last
Monday evening. The circumstances
are about as follows: Davis was at
work by himself picking cotton Mon
day evening. Late in the evening
a shot was heard in the field where he
was at work, but no suspicion was
aroused until Davis failed to put in
his usual appearance. Search being
instituted, Davis was found dead in
the field where he had been at work.
This was about thirty-six hours after
the shooting was heard. Esquire
FarroW, in the absence of the Coro-
ner, held an inquest over the body Of
deceased and rendered a verdict to the
effect that he came to his death by be-
ing shot through the jugular veins
with a pistol in the hands of an un-
known party.
