DEPUTY SHERIFF KEMPSON VIC
TIM OF MURDEROUS ATTACK. ^
Tiiosilny night somuono drew all tho
gnsollno out of tho tank of the county’s
big road onglne, which Dad beon used
for several days by the convict gang un
der Rond Supervisor Gilbort in making
somo repairs on the Gordon road. When
tho dny’s work wan over the engine ivas
left standing by the side of the road,
about ono julle this bIiIo of Haralson.
Mr. Gilbert had reason’ to believe thnt
Raivls Robb, a negro tenrint on Mr. Joss
Glnziur’s fann, ivns the one who had
stolon tho gasoline, and secured a war
rant, for Ids arrest. Tho warrant was
turned over' to Deputy Sheriff Albert
Kompsoivfor service, nnd nbout 9 o’olook
WodnoBdny morning Mr. Gilbort accom
panied the offleor to the Glazior farm
for tho purpose of o(Touting tho negro’s
ttTfest, Arrlvttlg at the farm, tho liegtiT
was observed in a field plowing, and as
tho offleor approached in the open Mr.
Gilbort went to the opposite side of tho
field, in order tlmt ho might Intercept
the negro in case he should attempt to
escapo in thnt dlteotion. However, the
negro made no offort to got nwny whon
tho offleor came up wltii him, Bhowing
no sign of fear or excitement; but while,
tho officer wns reading tho warrant thq
nogro suddenly drow a pistol nnd, ad
vancing ub ho fired, sont five bullets into
tho body of tho officer. Tlie latter fell '■
to tho ground nnd rolled into a ditch,
and while in this helpless position the
nogro jorkod tho officer’s pistol from its
scnbbnrd and shot him again and agnin.
Mr, Gilbort, wtio had stationed himself
nt n point about 600 yards nwny, hur
ried to the assistance of tire officer, and
ns lie- appronched tho nogro fled in the
direction of White Oak Bwamp. fitter
Tendering such aid to tlie wounded man
as ho could ME Gilbort aroused the com
munity, nnd going to the nearest tele
phono notified Shoriff BrowBter of the
tragedy. Procuring bloodhounds from
JthO county convict camp, Sheriff Bre<v-
ster and Deputy Shoriff Dial hurried to
the scene of the shooting, covering the
18 miles in loss than nn hour. Tho dogs
wore put on tho negro’s trail, but they
lost it in tho swamp, nnd proved usolesB
for further sorvico. Tho entire eastern
part of tho county, was arousorl by the
nows ol’ tlie tragedy, which spread rap
idly, and ninny citizens’ joined Sheriff
Brewster's' iiobso. Tho hunt continued
all, day Wodnosdny and fur into the
night, nnd 1ms not yot beon abandoned, .
-blit at last accounts no trace of tho fugi
tive Imd boon found.
Mr. Kompson wns romovod to bio homo
In Senoin, and, although shot through
anil through hail 1 a dozon times and with
several bullets lodged in different parts
of Ilia body, lie was ntlll alive nt 9 o’clock
tills morning. A 'phono message from
our Sonoia correspondent stated tlmt he
was holding up rcmnrknbly woll, al
though the attending physicians hold out
no hope for his rocovory, Mr. Kompson
is ono of Coweta’s best citizoris nnd a
fearless officer, whoso death under the
cil'CumstancH would bo lamented as ono
of tho most deplorable tragodios ovor en
acted in tho county.
Rqwls Bobu, the negro who shot tho
offleor, is said to lie under 30 years of

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Wednesday afternodn the high school
boys and the “Town Loafers” played
a six-inning game for thc benefit of the
Chinese famine fund. Owing to tho dis
agreeable weather the attendance was
rather slim, the gate receipts being only
$14. (Forgot to mention the score,
which ‘was 11 to 5 in favor of the
“Loafers;” but, as everybody knows,
the “Loafers” have more time for prac
tice than school boys, hence -we don’t
feel so crestfallen over our defeat.)
Friday afternoon Newnan Hi played
Carrollton Hi on the hoipe grounds, the
game resulting 8 to 4 in our favor. Er
nest Barron pitched and Lamar Potts
caught. Arthur Murphey. umpired
Jas. Tlidroughmnn.
