White Kills Another Man.

Jim White killed another man in
Cairo Saturday night
White formerly lived in Martin and
when the saloons went out Of that town
he went too, anG has since adorned"
the saloon section Of Cairo. He has
killed three men, but has always kept
out Of the pen
1t seems that White and this man
had some trouble and White had sworn
to kill him, and sent to his room and
asked him to come down to the saloon.
When he entered White knocked him
down with a beer bottle and then shot
him.
Another report has it that White went
to the man 5 room and shot him, but we
have been unable to get the true facts.
At least White has skipped and all ef-
forts so far have been futile to catch
him Fulton Tribune.
