OF citizens, headed by Sheriff Franklin,
left here this morning for Wardell.
Malone was preacher for the sane

been persistent in proselyting in this
county for several months. Constable
Mooneyhon arrested him late Satur-
day night on charge of living unlaw-
fully with Mrs. Mary Frill, who is an

Shot Dead in Tracks.
Shortly before midnight there was
knock at the door, and when Mooney
hon answered the summons he was
shot dead in his tracks. The mob then
seized Malone and hurried him into the
woods near by, where they shot him.
The mob then dispersed and no harm
was offered to Mrs Frill or to Mrs.
Mooneyhon, who also witnessed the
tragedy. The sheriff has several clews,
but whether he will be able to make
arrests, even with strong posse, is
problematical
