A negro named Hunter Crawford
was arrested by Constable Johnson
yesterday on a warrant sworn out by
Sheriff Brown, charging him with be-
ing the party who recently fired at DR..
John I. Barron from the roadside. The
sheriffs affidavit was based on infor-
nation and belief. DR.. Barron had
passed a negro in the road just before
he was fired upon. 1t was his theory

Jones and Crawford. Crawford has
been released by Magistrate deLoach
on a bond of $500.
