dozen shots fired before the smoke of
battle cleared away.
Captain Henry Bailey, of the local
police force, did an excellent and
quick piece of work last night in
catching Hall, and is receiving the
congratulations of his many friends
this morning.
Captain Bailey was apprised of the
shooting shortly after the train had
passed Kevil and after the negro had
boarded it. He tried several stations
but failed to catch the train there and
finally telephoned a blacksmith at
Maxon Mills and got him to wake up
the constable and 60 to the train to
secure the fugitive, if possible. The
constable was awakened and Just
barely reached the station in time to
stop the train and catch the man who
was making for the woods when the
constable arrived. Sheriff Potter was
notified by Captain Bailey and went
down to bring his man home, return
ing this morning and landing Hall
safely in the county jail.
Much excitement prevailed on the
train carrying Hall from Kevil and
there was some talk Of lynching the
negro. Had it been known exactly
the seriousness of his crime, this may
have resulted. II was the impression
among the passengers that Hall had
shot an innocent bystander while duel
ing with another negro and they were
not acquainted with the true facts in
the case. One little fellow went back
to arrest Hall and bring him to Pa
ducah but seeing that he was injured
and thinking the man to be unable to
get Off, returned to the smoker to wait
until Paducah was reached when he
would hold the prisoner and turn him
over to officers. .
Hall, the negro who was shot, was
seen this morning at the Jail and ques-
toned about the shooting. He stated
that he did not shoot as he had no PTS
tol and that il any white boy was shot
IL was by Jim Rivers, colored, the
only man he knew who had a gun.
Ho stated that the trouble arose over
the oolored men "sky larking" about
