AFRAID TO RETURN
Miller WANTED FOR ASSAULT
FIGHTS EXTRADITIoN.
Wanted in Montgomery for Assault
Arrested in Pensacola and His
Habeas Corpus Proceed
ings Failed.

Deputy Sheriff Samuel s. Belser went to
Pensacola yesterday morning to bring
back to this city for trial, the negro, Joe
Miller, who was indicted by the last grand
jury charged with assault on the person
OF a negro girl.
Miller ran away when the alleged assault
was committed and there Is said to have
been some excitement among the colored
people at the time and If he had been
caught there might have been trouble.
The excitement cooled down and the last
grand jury indicted Miller. His victim
is said to be an intelligent and sprightly
colored girl and the case will be vigorous
ly prosecuted by her relatives.
Miller has been very much afraid OF the
outcome. and has not wanted to come
back. as he has sued out through lawyers
two writs of habeas corpus since he has
been confined in the Pensacola jail, where
he was arrested a few days ago on re-
quest Of Sheriff Waller. His attempts
to get out failed and he will be brought
back to face the music.

by the local committee on arrangements.
While in Montgomery General Harrison
looked into some of the minor details for
the reunion and looked into the work
done by the committees. He said that in
his opinion the reunion would be a great

would be emiEently enjoyable Nearly
all of the veterans of Lee County, he
said would attend and he has received
