SUPPOSED KILLER"
REALLY HARMLESS
Man Who Said Il Killed My Sis
ter" Proved Harmless Is
Released.
Il killed my sister!'
Il killed my sister!n

i killed my sister!"
These were all the words that
could be gotten from negro at the
city hall Wednesday afternoon when
questioned by Geo. Tillman, colored
janitor, as to what he wanted there,
the question being asked on ac-
count of the peculiar behavior of the
negro in question.
No matter what kind Of interro-
cation was put to the colored party
by George, the answer always came
back:- 4 killed my sister,
Janitor Tillman soon became a.
larmed and hurried upstairs where
he found Chief of Police j. H. Case
and related the circumstance, where
upon Mr.. Case went down to investi-
gate. All the chief could get from
the negro was: II killed my sister"
Believing that it would be best to-
arrest the man, Chief Case told him
he was under arrest and that he was
going to carry him to jail, telling
Tillman, the janitor to keep him
prisoner until he went upstairs and
got pair of hand cuffs. The stranger
seemed to come to-" as soon as the
law officer was gone and took to his
heels. He was followed from one
place to another by gradually in
creasing crowd for two hours and
was finally captured two miles
north of town on the west Wesson
road.
No killing having been heard Of,
he was put in Jail to await develop
ments. Yesterday. through other ne
groes from the northern part of the
county, it was learned when they
came to see him that the mans name
was viii Taylor, and that he had
formerly worked for Mr.. Floyd Mid
dleton at Montgomery. Also that he
was deaf and acted peculiarly on oc-
casions, but that there was no harm
to him. 1t was also learned by Sher-
If Applewhite that he had recently
been working at Lumberton and had
just come back here after Z years
absence. On the showing made Tay-
lor was released from further Gus
tody.

Mrs. d,AntOni Loses Residence.

The residence of Mrs. Angelina
d'Antoni, located near the old East
Union lumber plant in the southern
part of the city was burned yester-
day at 1880 p. m. the loss being
complete to the building. A por-
tion of the furniture was saved, but
the estimate of the loss of that de-
stroyed is 5000. The building was
valued at $4,000, with no insurance
on either residence or furniture.
The blaze is supposed to have
caught on the roof from the kitchen
fiue. A fairly strong wind that was
blowing famed the flames so that the
fire department was of little avail
when they were called by the alarm.

Mr.. Geo. c. Greer a Vigorous Cam
didate.

No matter what the physical or
material condition of candidate who
wants the office of Lincoln County
Treasurer, he finds he is able to
run and to win--if the other fellow
doesn't beat him!
Mr.. Geo. G. Greer has been con-
fined to his rolling chair ten years
as the result of an attack of measles
that left him crippled with rheuma-
tism; but he stood next to the now
lamented treasurer, Poly Case, in the
last election and at the latter's death
was appointed Lincoln's Treasurer by
the Governor.
Mr.. Greer is a genial, whole-soul-
ed gentleman, trusry and dependable.
His family and friends would be
pleased to see him safe on base" and
mis- run" while he sits in his chair,
hopeful and expectant, will be
watched with interest.
He deserves your consideration at
the polls.

But they noticed that she had a pail

She jumped out of her automobile,

toes. Then with lead pencil. she
printed Censored" in large letters
across the middle of the sheet.
