Jackson, Miss, March S.-As re-
suit of Sunday afternoon spree,
spiced with too much spirits, three
young white men find themselves in
rather serious trouble, growing out
of the apparently unwarranted shoot
ing of a negro on Hamilton street,
about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
There is some question as to who
actually did the shooting, but it is
expected that this will be cleared up
when the case comes up in court for
hearing. The young men in the party,
however, were Dusty" Easterling and
Paul Drake of this city, and Lewis
Fitzhugh, who lives near Jackson, but
across Pearl River in Rankin county.
The negro, Jim Brooks, was not
seriously hurt, although three shots
were fired at him. Only one of these
took effect, entering the right leg just
above the ankle and ranging upward
lodging in front, several inches above
tstory that he was running from the
men when shot.
According to the best evidence OBJ
tainable two of the men were going
! along pulling piclets off the fence
of Lou Garner, negro woman, while
;the other was trying to induce them
to go on and leave the fence alone.
About this time the negro came along
and as he passed one of the men SAID
something about him running over
them. The negro looked back, saw a
pistol and started to run, when the
shooting began. The negro knew none
of the men, but according to his de-
scription of the man who shot him,
Easterling is believed to be the one
Drake was promptly arrested, but the
department psent a good portion Of

Jakcson, Miss, March S.-The only
information in regard to the move
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Baker
Sively, Jr., since their mysterious
elopement from the Mccormick home
last Wednesday night that has reach
ed Mrs. Sively's relatives, has been
conveyed through the newspapers. NOT
word has been received directly by
Mrs. Mccormick or other members of
the family.
While Mrs. Mccormick was at first
very much excited over the affair, now
that she learns that the couple and
their baby are safely located in Mem
phis and apparently happy, she is dis
posed to regard it as their own affair,
and to be at least philosophical.
Members of the Sively family, as
well as their attorneys, still decline to
discuss the affair, either in its Legal
aspect or from "a family or personal
standpoint In fact, they have become
somewhat resentful Of the great
amount of publicity which has been
given what they consider a private
matter and appear to regard all news
paper men as their natural enemies.

S1UAeys' HabblIy
ZoCuted in Nembh1s,'
ReIli1Ues Pleased

From no source has it been possible
to get the slightest intimation as to
the attitude of the elder Sivleys in
regard to the claim of the attorneys
who prosecuted young Mrs. Sivleys
damage suit to a successful issue, for
a half interest In the $4,000 verdict
secured in the Newton county circuit
court.
The news that young Baker Sivley
has accepted trayeing position for
a Memphis house, with western terri
tory, and that he will take his wife
and baby with him, is received with
some surprise here. The surprise is
due largely to the fact that. while pos
sessing a good education, supplement-
ed by short business course.
the young mans actual busi-
ness experience Is so limited as to
make it appear unreasonable that he
would be able to earn so much money
as would enable his wife to so travel.
This, in view of the elder Mrs, Siv-
ley's objection to the wedding three
years ago, because she declared he
was unable to support a wife, leads
to the honjecture that the couple has
probably been supplied with some
funds from the parental purse.
