SELMA MAN
KILLS A NEGRO
He Escaped to theWoods Armed
With a Shot Gun and Sup
ply of Shells.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Selma, April ga negro dead and
white man fugitive from justice.
That's the story shorn of all its details
and without the gloom brought to once
happy home or the sorrow of a loving wife
and devoted children.
A little after II o'clock word reached po-
lice headquarters that ALT Street negro
who runs little store and restaurant out
near the Southern shops, had been killed
by Mr.. Henry Ray. In short while the
chief and captain of police and officers of
the force were ON their way to the scene.
The negro was found laying diagonally
across the store near the door, where he
had fallen He had been shot in the mouth
and died almost instantly Around the
door a tremendous crowd of negroes had
assembled and 1t was with difficulty that
the officers made their way to the side OF
the dead negro.
From an old negro woman, Kitty Stores,
who saw the shooting, the following ac-
count of the affair was learned: Mr.. Ray
came along from up town with his little
4-year-old boy. The latter had base ball
bat in his hand. Street was sitting in the
door of his restaurant when Mr.. Ray ac-
costed him and asked what sort of mes
sage was that he had sent him. The negro
made some answer, when Mr.. Ray snatch
ed up the base ball bat from the little boy
and attempted to strike Street, who sue
decided In wrestling the bat out of his hand,
and stepped back In the store Then,
thoroughly enraged, Mr. Ray pulled his
pistol and saying, II don't guess you will
take this away fired, and, putting the
weapon back walked calmly away
He went directly to his home, which was
about two blocks away, and, securing a
double barrel gun and some shells. made
on to the woods across Beach creek, where
the ofIicers are now looking for him, atd
