SATAN DISCUSSES

The following letter apropos Of Mr..

American board OF foreign missions.

is mentioned in connection with the
crime.

Murder at GiIIsbure.

Magnolia, Miss, Nov. 49,
News reached here this morning
of a killing which occurred two
miles north of Gillsburg, in Amite
county,. Saturday night. There
was a negro dance being held on
the farm of Mr.. Cade Williams,
and about 10 O'Clock Dewitt Cor
don, white man, came to the
negro dance armed with a double.
barreled shotgun and considerably
under the influence of whisky.
Some of the negroes, who were
terrorized by the boisterous and
threatening conduct of Gordon,
went to the house of Mr.. Will
liams, which was not far distant,
and requested that he come and
have Gordon leave the place.
Securing his gun, he went to the
scene of the disturbance, and, up
on reaching there, Gordon, with
out a word, raised his gun and
fred the entire contents into the
body Of Mr.. Williams, inficting
wounds from which he died yes
terday evening. Before dying,
Williams requested that Rev. I.
G. Schilling, of this place, be sent
for to conduct his funeral SER
vices. Mr.. Schilling left this
afternoon for Gillsburg on that
mission. 1t is not learned wheth-
er Gordon has been arrested or
not.
