Ben Bobo, colored, was arrested by

sisting and trying to escape arrest re-
ceived three or four pistol shots in the

On Wednesday last Sheriff Clyburn
went to the Halle gold mine and ar
rested Joe Wade, Sebron Jones and
Hattie Kirkland, all colored, charged
with the murder of Sam Kirkland,
who was murdered at the mine one
night several weeks ago. 1t will be
remembered that it was thought un-
til the inquest was being held that
Kirkland had committed suicide but an
examination of his pistol showed that
it had not been fired, and the autopsy
showed the ball in his body to have
been of smaller calibre than the pis-
tol on his person. 1t has since devel-
oped that Kirkland's wife, Hattie,
gave Joe Wade, with whom she is al
legged to have been on too intimate
terms, a pistol of the same calibre as
the ball found in Sans body. 1t has
further developed that Wade was seen
crossing a small branch in the vicinity,
and going in the direction of the roast
