ANDY BELL KILLED.

Andy Bell, one of the suspects
who was discharged from jail
yesterday on account of lack of
evidence against him, was shot to
death last night.
When he was released from
custody he left the city going in
a direction opposite from his
home. He was followed by fit
teen armed men, who kept him
in sight until he was we'll into
the country when they overlook
him and ridd1ed him with bullets.
This statement is made on the
authority of a man who says
Il know" leaving the inference
that he was one of the party.
The statement is confirmed by
common rumor. Bell was the
negro who had the gun of Henry
Hodges at the time of the
murder and is implicated by
other circumstantial evidence.
A large supply of buggy whips
has been received here within
the past two days. These whips
tonight are being left at the
cabin doors of certain negroes,
as a suggestive hint for them to
leave.

the fire got into his lungs and
killed him. As Cato's head

Late this afternoon, after the

That he was not mistaken was
shown by the development OF
today-one negro found dead by

winchester bullets; two negroes,
one of the o1d-time darkies "
and his son, II years, old shot in
their cabin during the late hours
of last night by unknown
marauders; half dozen cases OF

more than passing notice; such
was the history of the day.
