POSSE KILLS NEGRO
WHO MURDERED FIVE
Officers of the Law and Citizens Chase

tsWill Harris" the five times MUIR
derer, fell riddled with bullets from
the rifles of cool but determined Of
fcers and citizens in the woods near
Fletcher, known as the "Westfeldt
property" at 1915 o'clock today.
He died as he lived, his hand raised
against every man, fighting to the
last, giving shot for shot until his last
cartridge was expended. Then, as if
with one accord, the avenging rifles
rang out, carrying the message Of
death to the murderer of the brave Of
ficers, Blackstock and Bailey, and of
innocent negroes.
At o'clock this morning report
reached the city that bloodhounds had
followed the scent to Buena Vista,
eight miles from Asheville, and that
the animals had lost it there, owing
to interruption from farmers dogs.
Three posses of officers and citizens
Immediately set out for Buena Vista
and there it was learned that the
negro desperate had been seen leav-
ing barn just before daybreak. It
was stated that the fugitive had taken
the high road for Arden, three miles
further on.
Down the road at 2.4O gait came
ex-Chief Jordan, o. II. Wells, DR..
Russell, Fl. M. Roberts and N. P.
Baldwin, shouting to other members
of the posses to make for the woods
where the negro had taken refuge.
The posses quickly closed in, took the
road turning to the right from Fletch-
ers and fusillade of shots from the
woods 10 minutes later told the in
habitants of the surrounding country
that justice had been done and that
the cold-blooded murderer of two
white policemen and three innocent
negroes had been avenged.
At about 2.30 the posse arrived in
Asheville with the body of the dead
man, which was taken at once to the
undertaking rooms. Like wildfre

and in less than half an hour south
Main street was blocked with a crowd
ing, shouting mass of men and wo-
men, to see the man who in less than
20 minutes had taken the lives of five
men, three of his own race.
For some time it was feared that
the mob would take the body of the
negro from the officers and follow out
its threat of burning it. But the sheriff
and his men guarded the doorway of
the undertaking establishment with
loaded rifles and the crowd later dis
persed. Tonight all is quiet in the
city.
