 As the result of some trouble which arose few days ago at old Spring Hill between H. L. Trippe, a prosperous far mer and highly respected citizen of this cohnty. and one of his negro tenants, Tom Robertson, a shotgun was used, and the negro was killed. MT. Trippe insist ed on taking possession of some cotton for rent. the negro saying he would carry his cotton to Demopolis and sell 1t him. self and pay his rent out of the pro- ceeds, intimating that he could get more for it than Mir. Trippe had allowed. The shooting occurred in the field near Old Spring Hill. The wife of the negro is a domestic in the home of MT. Trippe, and on going home after the shooting MT. Trippe told her he had killed her hus- band. and was going to Linden to give himself up. There were no witnesses to the shooting. The negro was dead when found.

Your letter to General Darlington

FATAL HALLOWEEN FUN,
Farmer Near Portland Kills AdoIph
Burkhart


Portland, Ore, Nov. 2.-Samuel Bau.
man, a farmer living near Bertha. a
settlement about six miles west of
Portland, is held pending the coroner's
inquest for the killing of Adolph A.
Burkhart early Sunday morning. Ac.
cording to Harry Fuller, a friend of
Burkhart, who was with him at the
time of the shooting, the two were
on their way to halloween party and
in sport had been firing a small re-
volver. When some distance from
Bauman's house, Bauman appeared in
the road and began firing at them.
The second shot hit Burkhart and kill
ed him.
Bauman says his neighbors, whom
these boys were visiting, are on bad
terms with him, and that during the
night the boys began to shoot at his
house as they were passing by. Think
ing that the shooting was for the pur-
pose of annoying him and wishing to
drive the young fellows away, he went
outside the house and fired his gun at
random, but in the general direction
whence the sounds of the shooting
were coming. Bauman disclaimed all
intention of harming anyone.
