MURDER IN RUSSELL COUNTY. ONE NEGRO KILLS ANOTHER WITH AN AX—THE MURDERER ESCAPES. News reached the city yesterday of a murder committed on the extension of the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery road, in Russell county. It seems that a quarrel arose between John Oates and another negro, who were engaged in getting cross ties. John Munn, the boss of the gaDg, ordered the two men to hush. Oates continued to talk, where upon Munn picked up an ax and dealt him a blow on the head, crushing the skull and scattering the brains on the ground. Oates died in a very short time after being struck. Munn escaped and at last accounts had not been captured. He is a dark, ginger cake colored negro, about thirty years old. He weighs 180 or 190, is five feet eleven inches high and his hair is cut close to scalp. Munn has a wife at Columbia, Ala., and his mother lives near Florence, Ga. He is supposed to be making his way to one of those points, and the Russell county au thorities are keeping a sharp lookout for him. The killing is said to have been a cold blooded murder.
