of the confederate columns and the
struggle at the stone wall, when he
asked: But where's the artillery,

TRAITOR IS KILLED
OLD NEGRO LEADS WHITE MEN
 INTO TRAP.
Told Posse From Bay Minette That He Would Lead It To The Hid- fng Place Of Walter
 Clayton.

Bay Minette. April 2s.--(speeial.)-- News has reached here that posse shot and killed an aged negro whose given name was John, nuear Hurricane Station late Saturday while attempting to arrest the old negro for practicins an unusual bit of treachery on the white men.
 The old negro notified the white men that he could lead them to the hiding place of Walter Clayton. the escaped convict who several weeks ago as- saulted white woman and escaped.
 Old John lived in the wilds of Raft river swamp below Hurricane station. He led the white men to his home. The house is said to be situated on the very bank of the river and is com pletely surrounded by heavy growth of brush and wood. While the party was getting dinner at q near by place the old negro slipped from them and when their boat reached the landing in front of Johns place, he met them with a gun and presented 1t. Being ordered to throw 1t down he at once raised 1t to his shoulder and the re- suit was that he was shot dead.
 Old John had promised to meet the posse at his home and instead of dis closing the location where Clayton was said to have been hiding he played the part of traitor and was no doubt behind a scheme to do injury to the party.
 groes were hidden behind the house when the party arrived and but for the timely action of the posse there would have been made serious trouble.
 The sheriff was notified that dead a deputy coroner to investigate. The verdict of the jury was that the negro died from gunsh ot wounds received at the hands of parties unknown.
