A YOUTHFUL MURDERER,
Geo. Marshall Kills Sam Staten
Both Negro Boys.
madison New Enterprise

madison New Enterprise.)
Grant Marshall is the name Of a
diminutive negro youth, aged about
ii years, who was placed in the
county Jail Monday afternoon and
there languisheth awaiting trial On
the very serious charge. of murder
in the first degree. The boy was
brought here Monday afternoon from
near Sirmons, in the southwest cor
ner of the county, in charge of deputy
sheriff Bob Henry. On Monday the
boy was at the cabin home OF Sam
Staten, a negro boy of about 10
years. No one else was present. The
boys became engaged in a scuf1e
over the possession of Iong-barrel-
ed, single-barrel shot gun when it
was exploded and the younger boy
received the load of No. shot in
the neck, almost tearing the head
from the body, which resulted in his
immediate death. This is only one
of the stories told by the boy Grant.
He has told several others. Justice
Reuben Reams, in his capacity as
coroner, empanelled a jury which
after examining the body of the dead
boy and investigating fully and care
fully the circumstances surrounding
the affair rendered a verdict of muir
der against Grant. The case will in
all probability be finally tried at the
term Of the circuit court which con-
venes next month.

any man has done around here yet
in the way of making something to

make a living in Suwannee county
for he can make an honest living IL
he will try. Mr.. Hawkins told me
he was thinking of going to South

know, don't want Mr.. Hawkins to
move away from Old Suwannee, for
you can sell everything else you have
to sell besides collard seed; that
Mr.. Hawkins well knows. Why, you
can even sell dish rags" in Live Oak,
1t is such a good market for our
produce. But will say that If he
does go, he will make a good, honest
