AMERICANS KILLED
AS MEXICAN BANDITS
CROSS THE BORDER
FRAZIER CAUGHT.
.AF TER DEALING
DEATH AND SHOT

Lueius Frazier, well known negro
in Americus who is head-waiter at the
Windsor hotel, shot and instantly
killed Lille Lewis, a negro woman,
about 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and
shot Ben James, a negro driver with
the Southern Express Company, in TIE
shoulder. The trouble took place at
the home of the negro woman on Jack
son streets, and seems to have climax
OF night of more or less trouble with
the two negro men, known by the po-
lice to have been at the house.
Immediately after death and wounds
had been dealt out by Frazier, he is
said to have substituted his pistol for
another, took yaluables belonging to
the woman and made his way to his
mothers house across the city. From
that point on he was lost by the au-
thorities until he was arrested late
Sunday afternoon at Hurtsboro, Ala.
by Conductor Simmons, on the Sea-
board Air Line railway, his train leay-
ing Americus at o'clock in the az
ternoon. Frazier was carried on to
Montgomery, from where Sheriff Lu-
cius Harvey was notified and the iden-
tification seems to be accurate.
Chief of Police Olin Johnson lett
early Monday morning for MontgoH,-
cry, Ala, to secure Frazier and If he
does not insist on requisition papers,
the officer and prisoner will return
tonight.
Very little is known of the trouble
which led to the shooting, as Ben
James is the only witness, and he does
not give any facts as yet which throw
any light on the crime
Shot Was Heard.
1t is said that Oficers Lowry and
srmmerford heard a pistol shot about
j o'clock Sunday morning near the
negro woman's home, but upon inves
tigation at her house it was denied that
a shot had been fired or heard there.
The first news of the death was sent
to the police headquarters by the
wounded negro, who made his way to
the telephone after Frazier had left the
death scene.
1t is said that Frazier boarded the
seaboard train at Viewpoint, and from
the description already furnished the
trainmen he was discovered by Con-
ductor Simmons.

ELECTION PUBLICITY

One big feature of the recent polit-
ical campaign was the amount OF
newspaper advertising used by COM
mittees and candidates. This method
OF publicity is now being recognized
as the best method in political cam
paigns. 1t is open and above board
some one is responsible for statements
made; it is restricted to fair and de-
cent discussion; and it is altogether
preferable TO the old unsigned circu-
lar or anonymous publications, now
almost obsolete. In this respect, at
east, we are improving in u poll
tics.

wants this matter of finances taken
