SPECIAL AGENT .
GETS 4TH MAN
Implicated in Shooting of lllinoi
Central Conductor at Millinston
Last Week.

j. nj. Baker. former flagman on the
Y. e. NJ V. Railroad, was arrested
Tuesday morning at Sardis, on /. c.
train number 8. Illinois Special
Agent T. Nd. Kinney made the arrest.
Mr.. Kinney knew Baker by sight and
when he saw that Baker intended
boarding the train, he kept out of
sight until the cars were in motion
and then took his man. Baker was
wanted in connection with the shoot
ing Of A. S. Mcdowell, conductor, at
Hillington, Tenn, last Friday night
while he was walking on top of his
train 1t is believed that he was mis-
taken for a negro. Three other men
were arrested shortly after the shoot
ing and reports say that one of them
made a statement to the police Off
cials in Memphis duplicating Baker.
Baker was lodged in the Jail at
Grenada and was carried to Memphis
on train number four Tuesday by Mr..
Kinney and three assistants. 1t is
said that Baker has made no state
ment.
Authorities state that the shooting
of Mcdowell was the climax of a
concerted move against negro brake
men on the l. c. and Y. & NJ. V. Rail-
roads which has resulted in the kill
ing of four negroes and the whipping
of several others during the last six
months.
Later: Reports have it that Baker
confessed TO the Memphis police Tues
day night that he fired the shot that
seriously wounded MrDowell, accord
ing to ". T. Griffin, inspector of
detectives.
Baker also, it is stated, gave infor-
nation regarding the men alleged to
be responsible for the killing recently
of three negro brakemen on the Illi-
nois Central and Yazoo and Mississip-
pi Valley Railroads at points in North
Mississippi.
Baker admitted, the police say, that
Mcdowell was shot by mistake, In the
belief he was a negro brakeman re-
Gently employed, and that the shoot
ing took place after a conference of
former railroad employees, at which it
was alleged nv Baker. according TO
the police. ne was told that a fund
had been raised sufficiently large TO
drive all the negro employees off the
two railroads.
Baker said, the police claim, that he
did not attempt to kill the supposed
negro brakeman, but fired low, ex-
pecting TO shoot the man in the legs
and frighten him off the job. Baker
named the three other men who were
with him at the time of the shooting,
the police say, all OF whom have
been under arrest for several days.
In supplemental statement, the
contents Of which were not made pub
lie, police say Baker went into details
of the plans TO drive negroes from
their positions with the Illinois Cen
tral and YazoO and Mississippi Valley
Railroads, giving information which
officers say VIII probably result in the
arrest of number of men alleged to
have been behind the plans to drive
negro labor off the railroad, which,
it is claimed by the railroad special
agents. have resulted already in the
death of three negro employees and
the wounGing Of number of others.

Superintendent.

Another instance in which the Illi-
nois Central is showing that it is anx-
ious to cooperate with the County in
this work is that, through Mr.. Mat
tlngly'S solicitation, it has given its
permission 70 the county for thu road
workers to go on the railroads right
of way and use all the dirt necessary
for the grading purposes on the JEFF
ferson Davis Highway. When one
considers that the Railroad company
will be taxed more heavily for hard
surfaced roads than any individual
or corporation in the county and when
he considers that a good system of
hard-surfaced highways over the
country viii take a great deal of
revenue from the railroad in that
much freight will be hauled by truck,
he viii realize what a wonderful
spirit of cooperation is being mani
tested
The highway work is being pushed
to the utmost in the county and be-
fore many days people from the sur
rounding territory will be coming in
to Grenada in larger numbers than
ever, meaning increased trade fer the
town. Mr. Kemp Mattingly, Super
visor from Beat One, has been untir-
ing in his efforts in the development
and building of hard-surfaced roads
and through him the county's road
organization has been perfected and
built up so as to get the most etfec
tive service Mr.. Mattinglv has given
Iunstintedly of his time and the Sem
tinel feels that he deserves great
deal of credit for what has been done.
Not only has Mr.. Mattingly been
doing good work but the entire Board
Iof Supervisors has been constantly
lengaged in looking after the interests
Of the taxpayers, not only in the
road work, but in all other matters
that come before them and the Sem
tinel believes that Grenada has one
of the most progressive Boards in the
entire State.

COOPERATION OF
ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Splendid Spirit Shown by Company
Toward Road Work In Gre
NADIA County.

The copy of the letter given below
is one Of the many instances that go
to show that the Illinois Central Rail-
road is helping in every possible way
to encourage road Improvement in
Grenada County. Through the ef-
forts of Mr.. w. B. Hoffa and Mr.
Kemp Mattingly, the railroad has
given its consent to do some needed
repair work on the locomotive crane
which is being used for unloading
gravel from cars. The work will be
done at the shops in Water Valley
and will mean saving Of a good
amount of money to the county in
unloading costs. The letter follows:
Illinois Central Railroad Company
Water Valley, Sept. 8, 1921.
Mr.. w. B. Hoffa, President,
Grenada County G. of G..
Grenada, Mississippi.
Dear Sir:
/ have your letter of September s,
having further reference to taking the
locomotive crane that is to be used
by the Board Of Supervisors of Gre
NADIA County to one Of our shops and
have same put in proper condition
to be used.
Have handled the matter with the
General Officers and have said to Mr..
Mattingly that We would bring the
machine to Water Valley and endeav-
or to put it in serviceable condition
provided he would order the missing
parts from the factory at Cleveland,
Ohio, which he said to me in our in
terview day or two ago he would
do.
trust, therefore, that we may be
of assistance to the citizens of Gre
NADIA County in general in fixing up
the machine.
With best personal regards, | am,
Yours very truly,

In making & TOUR over the Illinois
