GLOVER CAUGHT
AT GRIFFIN ON
C.OFCA. TRAIN
Chief Phelps Subdues Negro At
ter Desperate Battle. Griffin
Officer Wounded

MACON, August 1. = "CoeLey2
Glover, the negro who murdered
Deputy Sheriff Walter Byrd, Of this
city, and who nearly preeipitated
one of the worst riots in the history
of this section, was shot to death by
a, mob of armed men, 10 miles from
the Bibb county line, at o'clock
today. His death occurred several
hours after he had been captured,
following a terrific hand to hand bat
tie with Chief L. f. Phelps, of Grif-
fin, on the rear of an Atlanta bound
Central of Georgia train.
Glover in some way escaped the
net that had been thrown about him
by the Bibb county authorities and
boarded a Central of Georgia train
for Atlanta, early Tuesday morning.
Before the train reached Griffin,
the negro porter, recognizing him,
notified the conductor. When the
train reached Griffin, Chief Phelps
was secured and he entered the car
to arrest Glover.
AS he reached for the negro, the
latter pulled a gun and started shoot
ing, in all, five shots being fired.
The only one to take effect, wound
ed the officer in the hand. As soon
as the negro's revolver was emptied
there ensued desperate hand to
hand battle during which the negro
was beaten to pulp before he sue-
cumbed.
Glover Shot to Death.
The officer notified the Macon Of
| ficers and amid scenes OF intense sex-
citement the victim was placed in
the jail at Griffin. He was later
removed from the Jail and an ut
tempt was made to rush him back
to Bibb county About 10 miles from
the Bibb county line the party was
overtaken by mob and the negro
was shot to death.
The crime for wlbich Glover paid
the supreme penalty, was committed
last Saturday night. Deputy Sheriff
/ Walter Byrd and two ether officers
were called tosa negro pool room to
arrest Glover, whe was drunk and
threatening with d revolver.
/ The man had left the pool room
when the officer arrived and as
byrd turned from the pool room,
into an alley, he was shot in the neck
and bled to death in few minutes.
During the subsequent excitement
two other negroes were shot, one
of them later dying. Glover made
his escape.
The crime was one Of the most
brutal and uncalled for in the his
tory of the section in which it oc-
Cured and it is believed by Many
that Byrd was slain because Of his
recent activities, when he succeeded
in. sconvicting some negroes of ssssthe
murder of one of the Macon street
car motormen, named Aligood.

who had done time in those ranks
before the screen claimed her:

six millions of them. or anyway five
million six hundred thousand, and the
rest of them are a little above the
average, including ourselves-well. as

Teton was very old, and he stood
now with dropping head. An ancient
buffalo bull had left the herd and
drifted down to the flat. A buck ante

that they were kindred spirits. The
largest bull elk on the feeding ground
stood apart from the rest. His knees
were sprung and the weight of his
massive antlers bowed his head. For
