ATTEMPT
NEGRO BOY PUTS STRYCHNINE
 IN WATER BUCKET.
Tried to Poison Family of Matthew Crossley-Before Poison Took Effect He Attacked Cross
 ley With Q Stone.

Brewton, Aug. 24.-(Special. IA dast- ardly attempt at poisoning the family of Matthew Crossley, prosperous farmer residing seven miles southwest of Brew ton, was made at an early hour this morning by a colored boy named Tom Fifer, aged about 20 years, who had been in Crossley's employ several months. The water bucket was dosed with strychnine.
 Miss Crossley. a daughter, was the first member of the family to partake The negro in the meantime pretended that a mule was sick. Mir. Crossley went to the lot to see after the welfare of the anil mal, when he was assaulted by Fifer with rock, inflicting serious wounds on his head and breast Crossley attempted to resist the assault, but the negro leaped a fence and has not been seen since.
 Physicians have been attending the victims today and is thought they will all recover. It is almost a certainty that killing uf the entire family was the ob- ject of the negro. Sheriff Raley and posse have been in pursuit of the negro all day and have a clue which may lead to his arrest in a few hours No doubt could the citizens of Crossley's neigh borhood get possession of the negro be- fore the Sheriff lands him in jail, he will be summarily dealt with.
