Sheriff Of Amite Comes For Negro
Recently Capturee By
Office Norwood
Member of Gang Of Blacks Who Tried
to Kill w. H. Bates, Jr., Son of
Former Sheriff and Prominent
'Whiet Citizen.

Sheriff A. ]. Causey of Amite county
was in the city yesterday afternoon
having come for VIII Harris, the ne
gro who is wanted in that county on
charge of attempted murder.
Harris proved to be one of the ne
groes who was wanted, and the sheriff
carried him back this morning to Lib
erty, Amite county, where he will be
held to answer the charge that has
been made against him. This is the
negro who was arrested at Easta-
butchie by Detective Norwood, who
will receive reward of $125 for the
negro's capture. .
1t appears from the statement made
by Sheriff Causey that the negro, with
three brothers, and some other ne
groes, attempted to ambush Mr.. w. H.
Bates, Jr., son of the former sheriff
and prominent citizen of the county.
Some trouble occurred between Har-
ris and Bates at store the day be-
fore the attempted murder, in which
the negro was very insulting. Bates
went to the negro's house the next day
with the intention of whipping him,
so 1t is supposed, and in doing so he
fell into almost an army of negroes
that were waiting for him. AS soon
as Bates stepped on the gallery, the
negroes opened fire and Bates re-
ceived thirteen wounds, some of them
in vital points, and the mystery is
that he ever recovered. Part of his
jaw bone was shot away, and he now
has false jaw bone. But Bates was
game and he wounded Will Harris and
one of the negroes that was with him.
All the negroes were caught except
the four Harris brothers, and will Har-
ris is the first of these to be caught.
A reward of $125 each is offered for
the other brothers.
