Willie Fowler Again.

Canton, Miss, Feb. 22.-Willie
Fowler, an eighteen-year-o boy
near Camden in this county, was
brought in this morning and put in
Jail. Wednesday he took a Win
chester rifle and was out through
the neighborhood terrorizing every
one he met, and when he went
home at night his father took the
rifle from him and concealed it.
Willie was very much enraged and
threatened the whole family if the
gun was not brought forth. Thurs
day he got the rifle and left home,
but returned in the afternoon and
inquired for the old man, threaten
ing to shoot him on sight. The
old man got shot gun and pre-
pared to defend himself, but Just
at that moment some neighbors
who had heard Willie's threats, ar
rived, and took the rifle from him
thereby preventing a terrible trag-
edy. Willie Fowler is the boy
who last spring year ago killed
Yeager, and was after tedious
trial, acquitted. He is now sup
posed to be insane.
