OFFERS $4,000 REWARD

Sheriff R. H. Smith, Jr., of
Cotton Plant is in town today
Friday, looking after official
business. When asked if he"
knew of Mr.. J. 3. Taylor hav-
ing been robbed Saturday
night, he said that he did not
learn of it until Wednesday.
He authorized us to state that
he will pay $4,000 reward,
himself, for the arrest and con-
viction of the guilty person, or
persons. This brings the total
amount to date to $677.00 on
the reward.

ran south from the scene as
the club was found down the
ally south and the keys were
found in the street by Mr.. H.
E. Woods home three blocks
north.
Mr.. Taylor was carried to
Memphis, his wife and father
and DR.. Brewster accompany
ing him, where at the Baptist
Hospital it was found that his
skull had received a four inch
fracture just over the right
eye. He was stricken over the
eye and also across the right
side of his face and ear. A
blood clot and two small
pieces of his skull were re-
moved during the operation.
Blood hounds were brought
from Memphis, but of no avail
There are several clues and it
is hoped his assailants will be
caught soon. A reward of
about $500. which we publish
elsewhere is offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the gull
ty person, or persons.
Reports from Memphis yes
terday, Thursday, stated that
Mr.. Taylor was recovering and
that he would probably be
able to return home Saturday
or Sunday. It is hoped and
believed that when he has full
ly recovered, he will be able
to remember and tell some
thing about the affair and the
dirty highwaymen who COM
mitted this, one of the dirtiest
crimes in the history of our
town.
1t is believed that two men
did the work as Mr.. w. T..
Ramsey saw two men in the
alley when he went home at
$50 and Mr.. S. L. Stokes and
his wife also saw two men
there at 11:00 o'clock as they
were going home from the pic
ture show. Mr.. Geo. Raymond
passed the alley a few minutes
before the robbery as did also
Mr.. Guy Duffel who were on
their way to their homes.

HIGHWAYMAN VICTIM
u. p. TAYLOR, Manager of Sanitary Barber Shop Is
Knocked Down and Robbed Saturday Night

Atkinson's mules and that
they had been keeping up a
noise all night. Immediately
after, the editor heard some
one grooming and called to his
wife and Mr.. Shue to listen,
We listened and heard some
one grooming, and Mr.. Shue
and myself jumped off the
porch and / told him to hurry
that someone had knocked Mr..
Taylor down.
AS we ran out of my gate
we could see someone lying on
the walk at the alley. AS soon
as we reached him, | asked,
''Who hit you Taylor?" The
only reply was groan and
then asked him "Was he a ne
gro or a white MANI" He
groaned again and | looked up
the alley north, but saw no
one, and as | turned to him
and asked if they got his mon
ely, he remarked, us this Wal
teri" | told him yes and he
said, "Take me home Walter"
| told him that | would take
him to my house and wash off
the blood. Mr.. Shue ran home
to get his pistol and a doctor.
[ managed to get him up and
walk him to my home which
was only 200 feet away where
he was placed on a cot. Mr..
Armour Raymond, who had
retired, but was not asleep,
heard the blow and came to
our assistance.
Mr.. Taylor's pockets were
turned wrong side out and the
act seemingly was one of rob-
berry, however he is fortunate
to be alive because of the
heavy blow which was deliver
ed by both hands with the
cross bar or whiff1e tree from
a pair of buggy shafts. The
club was found in the alley
south of the scene and Mr.. j.
E. Lewis and three other men
who were standing in front of
Lot Davenport's restaurant,
saw the criminal as he ran out
of the alley in front of Dough
erty's Grist Mill and turn west
down the street. They, too,
heard the blow more than
three hundred feet away.
The victim only carried his
salary home, five five dollar
bills and some small change.
It is supposed that he had his
salary in his hand in his peck
ct when he was stricken and
that he threw his hands out
and dropped the money as it
was found a few feet from
where he was assaulted. The
highwaymen escaped with on
ly some small change, his keys
and knife, and it is thought
that there were two of them
one ran north and the other

$1.00 for two mules valued
at $4,000 that had strayed.

he notified Mr.. Johnson Of
the whereabouts of his mules
which were found a few miles
west of Cotton Plant and had
been taken up by negro.
