ARTHUR PATTON
 UNDER ARREST Negro Who Killed Louis Gammill Taken Into Gus
 tody at Crossett.
AT LARGE TWO YEARS
killing Occurred at Sawyer and Aus. tin Camp in Grant County in July.
 l9ll--I}ig Reward.

Arthur Payton, negro for whom most of the authorities in this section of the state have been looking for for the past two years has been taken in custody and is HOW in the county jail at lIl Dorado.
 Payton was arrested by Marshall lloneycutt, of Crossett, at that place Monday. A rumor to the effect that the murderer had been captured read the murderer had been captured reached Pine Bluff Monday afternoon and was verified yesterday by Sheriff Edgar Brewster
 The officer who captured Payton will receive several hundred dollars n rewards
 Payton is wanted for the murder in 3old blood of Louis Gammill. The Iilling occurred at a camp of the 1 Sawyer and Austin Lumber Company
 n Grant county, about 20 miles from l this city in July, 1911. Gammil was manager of the commissary at the camp. Payton who had bad reputa- ton, attempted to terrorize the com 1 mssary and was ordered away by l Gammill The negro later returned with a shot gun and fired both bar
 rels at the white man. Gammill died 1 instantly.
 1 Payton effected his escape. Officers
 of Grant, Jefferson ard other coun- ties in southeast Arkansas began a
 search for the murderer. He was 1 traced from place to place, even into other states. When the officers 1 thought they had their quarry landed
 he would slip from them and nothing I would be heard of him for months. It l is known tha the visited relatives near
 this city several times. but the auth
 critics were always few moments
 too late Deputies in Sheriff Brew 1 ster's office have made several trips to nearby towns on information con- l cerning the negro but he always got l wind of their coming and made his l getaway.
 The killing created much sentiment l against the negro and had he been To- l cated shortly after committing the
 crime would probably have been mob l bed.
 l Gammil was one of the most popu-
 lar employees of the big lumber com
 pany and the officials immediately of
 fered d reward of $200 for the arrest
 of Payton. Relatives of the dead
 man also offered rewards and the
 money will be paid to Marshall Hon, l eycutt, of Crossett.
 | Payton will immediately be taken 1 back to Grant county to stand trial
