FEAR TROUBLE over
ARREST OF NEGROES
Virginia Authorities After Will
liam Smiths Murderers.
Six Suspects to Be Taken Into Custody
at Woodbridge This Morning
Farmers Much Excited,

1t is anticipated that trouble OF a Sc
rious nature may be precipitated al
Woodbridge. Va. this morning when Pri'
the Virginia authorities undertake to ar
rest six negroes at that place, all OF
/ whom, it is charged. know. something
about the manner in which William
Smith, the aged farmer. met his death.
Since finding the farmers mutilated body
| in the woods Sunday and the verdict OF
murder returned by the coroner's jury
been the one subject OF conversation
| among the farmers. The affair has
| created intense excitement. and violence
is threatened by the virginians against
the persons who took the life Of the un-
fortunate old man.
Smith, the murdered man, was past
sixty years OF age. prosperous farmer,
and exceedingly popular in the neighbor-
hood of Woodbridge, where he had resided
for many years. He left his home on the
morning OF April 81 to visit neighbor,
and nothing more was heard, from him
until his decomposed body was discovered
In the bushes. 'es
Family Became Alarmed.
His family became alarmed In the
meantime at bis protracted absence, and
sent TO this city and engaged Private De-
tective McDevitt, formerly member OF
the local police force. He went to work
on the case at once. Searching parties
cessful.
Detective McDevitt worked on the case
for some time. seeking every possible
clew. but II was not until the body was
found that the first important clew was
discovered. According to a report re-
ceivod in this city yesterday afternoon.
colored man was seen driving a farm
wagon near the spot where the body was
found on the morning before the discoy-
cry. The negro was recognized and he Is
one OF the men who will be taken into
custody, because of the fact that De-
tective McDevitt and his assistants dis
covered wagon marks in close proximity
to the body. 1t is believed. however. by
both the Virginia officials and Detective
McDevitt that the aged man was beaten
to death. the horrible wounds on his
body bearing out that statement. and then
the body was removed to the thick woods.
Not Killed for Robbery.
The farmer was evidently not killed for
because he had on his person
when found a handsome gold watch and
a pocketbook containing SIS. The only
other cause that can be assigned is
Jealousy. 1t is on the latter theory that
the Virginia authorities are now work
ing
At o'clock this morning Detective
McDeyitt. armed with the necessary war
rants, will go to Woodbridge. where he
will meet Commonwealth Attorney Thor
ton. After organizing their posse the
officials vii proceed to take into GUS
tory the suspected negroes. 1t is this act |
which worries the authorities most, for |
fear the citizens at Woodbridge will be- |
come excited at the arrests and take the |
law in their own hands

MILLIONS OF PIKE PERCH.
Placed in the Potomac, Near Anglers
Club, for Propagation.

Messrs. Frank B. Curtis and John Breen.
members of the Fish and Game Protective
Association. also Of the Anglers Club OF
this city. have procured from the Fish
Commission 2.OOO,O 900 young pike perch,
which they have placed in the Potomac
between Sycamore Island and the Anglers
Clubhouse. This embraces several miles
OF the best fishing water of the river, and
should. in short time. add materially to
the pleasure of the local fishermen.
The pike is very game. ranking prob
ably next after the bass.
These gentlemen. with other members
of the local fishing associations, have
been very active in their efforts in behalf
Of the fishermen OF this vicinity. and in
securing tho enforcement of the fish and
game laws. and this latest move on their
part will. no doubt. be greatly appreciated
by all who enjoy this sport.
