FANG NEGRO WHO FIRED
ON LADIES IN AUTO

Greenwood, Miss, Oct. S.-Allen
Nance. a negro, was taken from thy
Schlater ca!aboose by unknown par
ties and riddled with buckshot. His
death terminated a wild morning,
during the few hours of which, While
crazy from the effects of cocaine and
whiskey, he had deliberately fired
upon an automobile in which were
riding three ladies, two gentlemen
and a child, snapped his pistol in the
face Of several negroes. and fired at
a negro whom he saw sitting upon a
porch.
From accounts reaching here the
car in which the ladies and gentlemen
were riding ran up behind the negro,
who was driving a buggy, and honk-
ed for passage room. The negro, it
is understood, fired into the car five
times, non of the bullets, however,
iindlng their mark. One of the la
lies tainted and the, other occupants
OF the car were slightly frightened.
The trouble occurred about a mile
from Schlater. Both the car and the
negro headed south, the car coming
to Greenwood. Upon reaching Schla-
ter the occupants of the car report
ed the trouble and two officers met
the negro upon the road and arrest
ed him. He was lodged in Jail at
Sch!ater until he could be brought
INTO Greenwood. There was no sign
Of any trouble when the officers vent
to dinner. Upon their return the
Jail had been broken into and Nance
taken out. The execution occurred
about a half mile from Schlater near
the PUBLIC road.
Nance was . negro of fairly good
repute ana was employed by Mr.. N.
l.. Cockrell. 1t is understood that
cocaine was found in his pockets
when arrested.
At the coroner's inquest held over
the body, d verdict was reached de-
"laring that Nance came to his death
by gun wounds at the hands of un-
known parties. There is absolutely
nothing that can be learned as to the |
identity of the parties who took him
from the Jail.
