little NEGRO KILLS HIS
BROTHER,

Sunday afternoon Cleveland Allen
killed his brother Sam, shooting him
with shotgun. Cleveland is about
eight years cid and his brother vas a
year or Two his junior Both are the
sons OF Sam Allen, eolored, and the
killing occurred at his home, just east
OF town. There we're no eye witnesses
to the tragedy and the survivor does
not tell very convincing story Of
how It occurred. The absence Of
powder marks about the body of the
dead boy showed that he could not
have killed himself. The accepted
theory of the affair is that the boys
got into difficulty and the elder who
has been In the habit of threatening
his brothers with the gun. loaded II

instantly Before any one reached the
scene Cleveland dragged his dead

hide the body. Later. when the officers
came under pretense Of showing how

This can mean nothing else but
that the voter can use only the official

may be whatever the secretary OF state
decides TO use hut under the require
