Cullman, April 12.-(Speeial)- hounds are now on the trail of John Will Hams, who shot and Killed State Sena- tor R. L. Hipp. and seriously injured Deputy Sheriff J. H. Dunlap yesterday and it is believed that he cannot escape.
 The funeral of Senator Hipp will take place from the residence at o'clock to- morrow afternoon under the direction of the Knights of Pythias. Both Methodist and Baptist pastors will officiate
 The remains of Senator Hipp arrived from Joppa at noon today and were taken to the residence of his mother. The scene that followed was pathetic one, and melted the hearts of strong and hard hearted men as they listened to the sobs of the broken-hearted and aged mother as she gazed upon the lifeless form of her only child and protector.
 The ball entered the right side of the head and lodged just under the skin on the left side. He lived about one and half hours, but was never conscious or spoke a word after the tragedy. He fell just outside the rear door and cut a gash over his right eye by the fall. The re-
 
 thirty minutes, when Williams ordered members of his famil..' and a neighbor to put him up on the porch afterwards or dering him to be brought inside and put upon bed and everything possible done for him, which command was obeyed to the letter, but the ieaden messenger had done work beyona medical or human aid, and the Senator expired shortly after be- ing placed on the bed.
 Not Injured So Badly.
 Deputy Sheriff Dunlap arrived about 1 o'clock and is not injured so badly as was at first antieipated-the wound prov ing to be flesh wound in the left side. He is doing quite well and resting as easily as possible under the circumstances. There Is no doubt as to his recovery Deputy Dunlap was fired upon by Will Hams twice tn his flight for safety, but neither shot took effect. Williams called to Dunlap to come and help him bring Hipp Into the house, but he had betrayed their confidence once and the wounded deputy could not afford to trust him fur ther. After the death of Senator Hlpp Williams ordered a fire built, saving he intended to remain upon the premises and entertain all callers for the night, but his brother-n-law came about ii o'clock and before the Cullman crowd arrived and induced him to flee from justice. which he did, and nothing has been heard from him since
 Orders an Additional Posse.
 Sheriff ORear, who was absent at the time of the occurrence. arrived here this morning about 5 o'clock and mustered an additional posse and repaired to the scene. Soon after the sheriff's departure T. K Boggs arrived with two blood hounds from Decatur and went out to take up the trail. The hounds are good ones and 1t Is hardly probably that the murderer will escape. Should he be cap tured. however, grave apprehensions are felt for his safety, anG Judge Lynch may possibly preside.
 Williams is considered a desperate char acter however, and those who are best acquainted with him say that he will never submit so long as life and am intuition hold out. The majority of the posse are out vet and all avenues of es- cape will be closely guarded, and every possible effort will be made to capture hlm.
