 SHELBY COUNTY MAN
Well-tO-Do Farmer Held Up on Shades Mountain Road and Placed Under Arrest by Bogus Officers
 of the Law

While driving along the highway on Shades mountain in an automobile, which is reported to have contained a quan- tity of whisky, M. R. Johnson, a resi- dent of Shelby county, was stopped and placed under arrest by two men, who claimed to be officers of the law.
 According to Johnson's statement, he had turned around and was speeding to the city, when he was somewhat aston ished with a remark from the men, who wore badges, to the effect that they were sorry he had been arrested and that they hated to do it, but were obeying orders.
 It is stated a friendship grew rapidly between Johnson, who is said to be a well-to-do farmer in Shelby and the officers and after considerable hesi- tation and a heart-to-h heart talk with Johnson, they proposed to free him for enough money to pay their expenses set ting the figure at $500. To this Johnson assented it is said, and on reaching town. they went to the First National bank where he wrote a check for the $500 and the check was cashed and the money turned over to the officers, who charged him to keep num- about the trans action.
 The story gradually leaked out. how ever, and two men have been arrested on suspicion and held in the city jail on charges of impersonating an officer.

Negro Men Engage in Quarrel and Shooting FoIlows-Slayer Is Ar rested, But Refused to Make
 Statement

Edwin Caldwell. a negro Pullman porter. residing at 17oS Fourth avenue, was shot and instantly killed last night by Cleophus Hurt, who lived in the same house. The shooting occurred directly in front of the house, and Caldwell was shot twice, once in the arm and the other in the back, as he ran. the bullet piercing the negro's heart and lodging just under the skin on his breast.
 There were no witnesses to the af- fair. but it is alleged that the negroes had had some previous difficulty and Hurt walked out of the house and met Caldwell as he was coming home with basket of groceries and continued the quarrel, which led to the killing
 Hurt ran after the shooting, but was later captured by Officers Burge and Sherrod. He admits the killing, but refuses to give the cause. He was lodged in the city jail on a charge of murder and the body of Caldwell was turned over to Davenport & Harris, ne- gro undertakers
