aloohol in Thomasville, notice of which
wsb given tryo weeks ago in the Times-
Enterprise is now a law. At its last reg

Jake Hammond, an escaped negro coi - ,
vict, was shot and killed Thursday morn- 1
ing at Cairo, ffammond was a negro ]
who had been convicted of ’murder ,
some yean ago and sentenced to life f
imprisonment. He had served 11 yean ,
in the prison at Donellen, Fla. He was }
regarded as a trusty, but two yean ago, ^
taking advantage of his opportunities,
he escaped, and since that time' has
been at large. He came to Cairo and ,
was employed by W. B. Roddenbery, ,
for whom he worked about 12 months.
It was discovered only recently that bo ,
was the man who had escaped from the
Florida prison.
Wednesday he was arrested and placed
in the Cairo jail. At 1 o’clock Wednesday
night W. C. Hornsby, a night police
man of Cairo, entered the jail to take
the negro out to place him on a mid
night train to he carried back to Florida.
In some unaccountable way Hammond
had become possessed of a knife. Im
mediately after Horpsby entered the
jail the negro made a dash at him and
inflicted a severe wound 2 1-2 inches
long and 2 1-2 deep below the police-
yza. *Vs left ear. Policeman Brinson of
fj^he Cairo day force happened to be in
^»ne neighborhood and rushing to the as
sistance of his fellow officer - shot at
Hammond. One ball inflicted a flesh
wound on the criminal’s arm, but a sec
ond passed directly through his 'body.
Hammond died at 7 o’clock yester
day morning. Officer Hornsby is very
painfully wounded though the wound
will not necessarily prove fatal.
