RURAL HIGH SCHOOL.

There was considerable discussion Of

School proposition did not then con-

Alleged murderer Caught.

Aust Ramsey, the step-father Of the
boy who is charged with killed twelve
year old boy named Raymond Battle,
near Temple, Lauderdale county last
Saturday was arrested near Gholson.
in this county Wednesday afternoon
and brought to Macon and placed I'm
jail The arrest was made by Steve
Gully and Nose Prince, two old negroes
living in the Ghoson neighborhood.
From the latter we caned that Steve
had been sent by the posse who was
following the negro In a certain direc-
ton to look for the fugitive, while they
went another, and he soon struck the
trail. Nose, who was going after some
cows with rope, was asked to join the
chase, and they soon caught up with
the old negro, who was about worn out
from his long chase. The two negroes
tied him and led him to Macon, reach
ing here about 8 O'Clock.
Sheriff Temple Of Lauderda!e came
to Macon Thursday afternoon and took
the negro to Meridian on through
freight as he was afraid, on account Of
the intense excitement, thata attempt
would be made to take him away from
the officers If they went through on The
passenger train.
The old negro stated that the white
boy came to his house Saturday after
noon and asked that his step son be al
lowed to go hunting with him. The old
man refused to give the boy any shells
but the white boy said he had plenty
for both and the little negro got his fa-
ther's gun and started Off. In about
an hour, the old MAJ says, his boy came
home and said he had accidentally shot
and killed the white boy, and went to
where the body was lying and hid it in
a gully, and being frightened, ran
away
The boy was captured near Pea
Ridge, in Kemper county, by the posse,
who had been securing that section for
several days, the old negro was caught
by the two old negroes as stated above.
The old negro seemed to realize the
seriousness of his trouble and seem SO +
badly frightened all day Friday he +
could talk with difficulty.
Several rumors are aaoat as to the
killing, one being that the boys father
who is divorced from his mother, is
connected with the killing, but the old
negro's story seems most plausible and
it will in all probability, be found that
the killing occurred as he relates. II
