that he has surrendered to the man

We copy the following from the
st. Paul Daily News:
Bloodshed was imminent at the
central /station last night when
Sheriff ~. B. Sammons, of Bolivar,
Tenn, who came here after Henry
Somers, an alleged negro murderer,
advanced angrily toward Louis
Liverpool, local negro, with his
hand gripping forty-four calibre
revolver. The angry Southerner
declared be would fill Liverpool full
of holes. Determination marked
every feature, and his hand grasp
ing the big revolver came slowly
from his pocket. Attorney +. l..
McGhee, who was present, sprang
between the men and Sheriff Sam
mons was finally quoted. The
trouble arose over Liverpool break
ing into a conversation between
Attorney McGhee and Sheriff Sam
mons. Liverpool declared there
would be a barbecue if Somers was
taken back to Tennessee. "You
black dog, don't you insult white
man." declared the Southern sheriff,
starting for Liverpool. "You in
suited me when l was here before
and I'll fix you right if you say an
other word" Sheriff Summons
was white as a sheet and strobe to-
ward Liverpool as though he meant
what he said, when Attorney Nc
Chez got between them.

SOMERS Safely LANDED.

Sheriff Sammons returned Sun
Jay morning from St. Paul, MINI.
with his prisoner, Henry SOmers,
colored. The readers CT the Bull
LETIN are familiar with tle case.
In Novembe Der, 1900, VIM. Lew
ark was killed in Bolivar. Several
negroes were arrested, tried and re-
leased. The grand jury upon what
it deemed sufficient evidence found
a true bill against Somers, who in
the meantime had left the country.
Nothing further was heard of him
until several weeks ago, when the
Sheriff received a letter from the
police department of St. Paul asking
if Somers was wanted here. The
reply was in the affirmative and the
Sheriff proceeded at once to St.
Paul. Upon his arrival he found
that the negroes of the city had in
terested themselves in Somers' be-
half and in order to prevent his re-
turn had employed lawyer to take
the matter to the courts. After
tedious trials and an appeal to the
Supreme Court, the decision was
finally in favor of honoring the req
uisition of the Governor of Tennes-
see.
Somers is now in the county
Jail awaiting his trial, which will
take place at the January term of
Circuit Court. After having to
contend with so many obstacles,
Sheriff Summons deserves credit for
successfully landing his prisoner
He is high in his Praise of the po-
lice of St. Paul who rendered him
every assistance possible.
