ARMED NEGROES KILLED.
Man Hunt In Brazoria County Claims
Two More Victims-Thicket to
Be Rushed Today.

Sandy Point, Brazoria Co., Texas,
Sept. 1.-THE fourth and fifth kill
ings growing out of the escape of the
three negroes from Angleton Jail last
Sunday evening occurred Friday after
noon near Sandy Point, the scene of
the greatest man hunt in Texas since
the chase after Monk Gibson, the
slayer of the Condit family near Edna
several years ago. The victims of
Fridays killings were negroes, the
first to lose their lives since the chap
ter of tragedies opened Sunday eve
ming with the killing of Mr.. Tut Har-
din, prominent stockman of Che
mango. The next to lose his life was
Mr.. Armour Munson, another promi-
nent citizen of this county, residing
at Angleton. Both of these men were
trying to be merciful to the negroes
at the time they were killed. The
third white man, Mr.. Charles Noble
of Navasota, was killed accidentally
by members of sheriff's posse, who
mistook him for one of the fleeing
negroes.
Until Friday not negro had been
harmed, the hundreds of armed
whites seeming particularly anxious
to avoid any semblance of harshness
toward negroes not known to be impli-
Gated in the killing of the two white
men, who were known to be two of
the best citizens in Brazoria county

whites are beginning to deal harshly
with such of the blacks as are be-
HeFed to be sheltering those charged
with the killing of the white men.
Details of the killing of the two
negroes are not obtainable Both
killings happened late Friday after
noon One negro, named Jake Keys,
was killed within sixty feet of where
Mr. Munson was killed Wednesday.
He was armed with a single barrel
ed shotgun, which was found to be

Creek bottom ran onto the negro Fri
day afternoon He disregarded the
command to halt given by members
of the posse, and is said to have
made ready to fire. Several shots
rang out in the posse, and the negro
fell dead. His gun was cooked, but
he did not live to pull the trigger
1t is not known who fired the fatal
shot, but the killing is not regretted.
The white people of this county do
not feel disposed at present to take
any chances with negroes carrying
guns since two white men have lost
their lives parleying with armed ne
groes. The negro who is bold enough
to be seen carrying a gun in this sec
ton courts sudden and certain death.
The identity of the other negro
who was killed late Friday afternoon
is not known and only meager details
have been received. Some posse,
which has not reported here since
the occurrence, did the killing. The
negro is said to have been armed
