LOOK FOR MURDERER
DEPUTY SHERIFFS IN PURSUIT
 OF SCOTT BISHOP.
He is a Negro Who is Accused of Having Killed Wade Hicks, White Man, at
 Marbury.

c. J. Brown of Marbury and Deputy Sheriff Bozeman of Autauga County, were in Montgomery last night in search or Scott Bishop, a negro wanted for the murder of Wade Hicks. white lumber man of Marbury.
 The murder occurred Monday night The body of MT. Hicks was found Tuesday morning with his head split with blow from an axe.
 The entire population of the little sta Sion is more or less connected with the big saw mill at Marbury. Tuesday morn ing nearly emry member of community having heard of the tragedy, was on hand. Among the few absent ones was Scott Bishop.
 The populace organized to trace the murderer After several hours. Scott Bishop and an old negro called Rich" were brought to the mill and were held as suspects.
 The circumstances indicated that the murder was solely avaricious in it's mo- five. The deceased had never, to the knowledge of the citizens of Marbury offended any man. The night of the mur- der, however, he was paid his salary and no money was found on his person, when the body was discovered.
 At the house of Scott Bishop, bloody axe was found and on his person a goodly amount of money.
 Btshop and the older man remained tied until sunset. No circumstances pointed to the guilt of the old man, but 1t was be- 1ieved he knew something about the case About twenty men armed with shot guns guarded Bishop. Some hours after dark the guards were startled by seeing their eaptiye, throw of his bonds and dash into the darkness.
 The night was made brilliant by the yolleys of bird shot which followed the fleeing negro. It is thought that he was hit several times, but he managed to dis tance his pursuers. Several bystRnders ancludng a baby were slightly wounded
 The old negro. throughout the conmo- ton which followed did not move and yesterday morning he was allowed to @ to work. a free man.
 It is thought that Bishop made fol Montgomery and last night as thorough z search as was possible was made for tht negro, but to no avail
 Today the Autauga County officers vii leave for Mitchells Station Bullock Coun sy, where it Is said the negro went H' is a native of that place. The Autaugs pficers will probably be accompanied bS Deputy Sheriff S. s. Belser of Montgom cry County, who is well acquainted witt the people of Mitchells.
 The negro is described as a very blacl man, very erect, six feet tall, 2 year. old. l75 pounds in weight, and has sca on his forehead.
 MT. Hicks, the murdered man, left ; wife, six children and other relatives.
 No violence is feared in case the negro is, caught.
