for-cthe murder last night of John
Bailey, a’.well-known whit® fanner
of Baker county, near Elmodel.
According to reports received
here today, the negro went to Mr.
Bailey’s home last night and told
him that he and his mother-in-law
had had a quarrel and asked permis
sion to sleep in Mr. Bailey’s barn.
Mr. Bailey consented and told the
negro he had an old .quilt he could
sleep under. He got the quilt for
the negro and went with him to the
barn. While he was unlocking the
barn door the negro took up an axe
which he had previously placed there
.for the purpose and hit Mr. Bailey
on the head, killing him. He then
took '$300 from the dead man’s
pocket and went back to his moth
er-in-law** house. He was so excit
ed, however, that he left the money
there and fled The money was re-
covered this morning by Baker
county officers.

Hr. Bailey had this money, and in
tended to leave with it for New
