CASUALTIES AND GRIMES.

|
Hattiesburg. -Eph Ellis, and George
Hawkins, a Choctaw Indian, who
have been confined in the county Jail
waiting vacancy in the state insane
asylum, were taken to jackson by a
deputy.
Last week J. L. Dewitt, a we'll
known citizen, became violently in
sane and has been adjudged fit sub
jeot for the asylum. He is now con-
fined in the county Jail.
Mortimer Griffin, young man whe
came here recently from Meridian
and whose father is ex-mayor of that
city, was placed in Jail for acting in
suspicious manner. He is thought
to be crazy and Sheriff Batson mott
fed his father Of the arrest, and was
instructed to have him tried and il
necessary sent to the asylum at jack
son.
Christmas eve Bill Hollowman, of
Sheep Low, a neighborhood eight
miles northeast of here, was sitting
in his home when an assassin fired a
load of buckshot at him through an
open window. A small tree near the
window stopped several shot that
would undoubtedly have struck vi
tai spot. One shot struck his large,
brass suspender buckle and bent it
up bruising the flesh. Two others
made flesh wounds in his arm and
shoulders. Sheriff Batson went next
day with his bloodhounds to hunt
down the criminal, but heavy rain
had spoiled the trail.
Later while returning home another
attempt was made to kill Hollow
man. He recognized one of the men,
and says the one he saw is neigh
Dor. A posse with dogs has gone to
the scene. Hollowman bears q good
reputation and is highly spoken of by
his white neighbors. No one can tell
why his life has been sought.

FUNERAL OF YOUNG HARVEY,

FUNERAL OF YOUNG HARVEY.
Canton. The funeral of Addison
Harvey, the young man who accident
ally shot and killed himself, was con-
Quoted from the family home at 8
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Harmon,
after which a very touching address
was delivered by Rev. P. G. Sears Of
Jackson. Ad. Harvey was one of the
finest young men, physically, men
tally and morally, that were ever
reared in this town. He had just at
tanned manhood and had taken charge
OF his fathers business, and had be-
fore him bright career. A singular
thing connected With his death is the
fact that his unARe, Captain AID. Har-
vey, commander of the celebrated
Harvey Scouts" in the OWL war,
was shot exactly in the same place,
the ball Of the pistol entering the left
eye and passing upward through the
head, the only difference being that
his uncle was shot by an assassin and
young Harvey was shot accidentally.
The funeral procession WAS one of
the largest ever seen in Canton. A
large number Of relatives and friends
from Jackson and elsewhere were In
Attendance.
