NEGRO DESPERADO IS STILL AT LARGE I Brown Horton Negro's Sec
 ond Victim STILL IN THE SWAMPS Surrounded By Large Posse-Dogs Being Used in Chase-Negro May Never Be Taken Alive
 
STILL IN THE SWAMPS

Tuscaloosa, October %. = (Special.)- Brown Horton was shot and killed just before daylight this morning while leading a posse through the swamp in search of John Richardson the negro who Killed Tom Cooper yesterday afternoon near Northport. When them of the killing of Cooper reached the city bloodhounds from Birmingham were sent for and a party of men volunteered to accompany Sheriff Palmer and his deputies in search of Richardson. Horton. was one of the party and followed close upon the dogs who got trail and followed 1t into an about five miles from. town. While try ing to push through the underbrush a lit tie in advance of the rest of the party Horton and Fletcher Powers caught sight of Richardson, and calling to him toshalt, was fired upon by the desperate negro and instantly killed. Powers shot at Richard son who took to the woods, supposedly uninjured and the trail was lost.5 As soon as the news of Hortonis- death reached Tuscaloosa the whole town De- came aroused and every available con- veyanee was pushed into service, rush. ing several hundred armed citizens to the scene and every inch of the swamp is being secured but as yet the negro has not been captured. The general belief Is that he has been surrounded and his capture is only question of a few hours. Excitement has reached fever heat, and a strenuous effort will be made to quell any mob riot should Richardson be captured alive. The prediction is that he will not be brought to Tuscaloosa in the event of his capture.
 Brown Horton was a well known citi- zen and a popular man, liked by every body He was 2S years of age, and had spent practically all his life In Tuscaloosa Only last week he rode some of the win ming horses at the West Alabama fair, and was a daring horseman. He was un- married and Is survived by his mother and two sisters, Mrs. Irene Boone and Mrs L,uaene Realty all of Tuscaloosa.
