John String. a Negro farm hand,
employed on the farm tenanted by
Elmer T. Laws. near Minquadale,
created considerable excitement in
that vicinity last night, by telling
Joseph Jones and Horace Dixon,
also Negroes. that he had killed
Howard Eliason. a tenant of the
farm adjoining the Minquadale
home. He said he had killed Mr..
Eliason by beating his brains out
with a hammer" String is believ-

To the surprise OF the Negroes
and other residents OF the vicinity.
Mr.. Eliason greeted them as they
later entered his home. Just what
prompted the Negro TO tell the
story OF a murder, duplicating him
self, is a mystery. Residents Of the
neighbOrhood fear that String will
return and may commit some crime.
Jones and Dixon accompanied by
String, returned toward the Eliason
home. and as they neared It. he
broke into a run. and was followed
for some distance by the rapidly
gathered crowd OF residents who
had been informed OF the murder
tale. String went toward the Laws
