and il is believed if the perpetrator
OF the assassination is caught he Will
be summarily dealt with.
AS msyor of Ridgeway. Mr.. Bous-
man presided over the police court OF

thought that some person. upon whom
the mayor in his court, has passed
sentence of punishment, held grudge
against him and had been awaiting an
opportunity to wreak vengeance on
him This opportunity came last
evening when the mayor lay sleeping
in the open air.
Previous Attempt on Life.
While returning from his farm, in
the county. to town a week ago, some
unknown person hurled an explosive
at Mr.. Bousman as he was riding past
a wooded section. He told his friends
OF the occurrence, but they treated the
matter as a joke and it was not given
serious thought until today.
At a special meeting of the town
council this afternoon a reward of
$500 was offered by the town for the
capture of the murderer. The COVER
Tor of the state and the authorities
of Henry county will be asked to

every negro in this section has
worked in them at one time or

is in operation now, but at the

caps are stored. Il is now
suspected that some of these
