A letter from Springfield says the
negro Masons and Odd Fellows took
up Bowen, the black flend who at
tempted to assault white lady near
that place Monday. and after fur
nishing him with an abundance OF
ready cash, attempted to get him on
a north bound train for Philadel-
phia. If this is the kind Of work
these negro lodges are doing they
should be disbanded at once, and
the members prosecuted as acces-
sories to the hellish crime that Bow

Bowen's crime was attempted. He is
said to have conducted Bowen to q
certain point and placed him in
charge Of another negro. viii piloted
the fugitive from there.
The officers and the citizens are
looking for the other negro and
further trouble is expected if he is
found. 1t is generally believed at
Springfield that the negro Masons
and Odd Fellows took up the cause Of
Bowen, and that after furnishing him
with an abundance Of ready cash at

bound train for Philadelphia. 1t is
now practically certain that he will
be arrested and brought to justice. 1t
is now generally believed that the
Bowen negro headed for Philadel-
phia and not for Florida, as was at
first thought.
The arrest Of several secret So
-ciety negroes was expected Thursday
night upon the arrival of Sheriff Sal
ley but the immediate necessity Of
rushing the Tyler negro to a place of
safety may have prevented this. A
number of determined men are still
on the trail OF the Bowen negro,
some of them not having slept for
the past three nights. They are be-
ing relieved by volunteers, who are
taking up the trail. A number Of rel
atives Of the outraged family have
arrived from points at a distance and
have placed at the disposal Of the
officers any sum of money needed to
hunt down the negro fend.
