A shooting and cutting serape among the
negroes occurred at Land Pebble, near Lake
land, on Saturday night in which James
Hines, cOlored, boy of about 20, was killed by
unknown negroes, and Yves Harris was shot
and slightly wounded Hines was a peaceable
negro boy and had been living In and around
Lakeland for two years. 1t seems that he
was working for another negro by the name
of Sidney Adams, and on Saturday Adams
was paid of, the sum paid to him by the phos
phate company amounting to something like
800, and the assassins thought 1t would be a
good investment for them to make way with
ambush, and seeing two parties going along a
short distance from the works, nred upon
them, the gun being loaded, it is thought
| with nails and the load discharged into the
| body of Hines, killing him almost instantly
| but Harris was only slightly wounded and
made his escape in haste. The murderer OF
murderers thought it was Adams they killed
but it proved to be Hines, consequently they
found no money.
