Negro Killed At Cross Plains. -
George Smith, colored* was shot
and killed at Cross Plains Sunday*
by another negro, Russ Harrison.
Buie Smith, George’s brother, was
also shot and slightly wouuded,
and Russ Harrison was also report
ed to have been shot by one or both
of the above negroes, but ho made
his escape and has not yet been
apprehended.- The shooting oc
curred at a big meeting held at
Cross Plains church, near Klon
dike, at about 12 o'clock Sunday.
Coroner Dorsey was notified and
went to the scene. At an iuquest
held by him over the dead negro,
the jury returned a verdict to the
effect that George Smith came to
bis death from pistol-shot wounds
infiioted at the hands of Russ
Harrison and that the same wan
murder. Sheriff Crow, who also
went down soon after hearing of
the difficulty, arrested Bute Smith
and brought him to Gainesville
and lodged him in jail.
The difficulty is supposed to have
originated over cards aud whiskey
in the woods half a mile from the
church. The negroes involved are
from Pendergrass aud bear a bad
fpntation. It was almost impos
sible to get the facts at the in
quest,- bpt it is thought all the
details will be brought out later

Where Did He Come From?
While going over his crop near
the Joe Logan place Monday morn
ing, Mr. A. S. Erwin came across
an owl with one foot caught in
steel trap. He proceeded to kill
it and brought the trap home
where the owner may get it by call
ing for it. The question is, Where
was the owl oaught, aud how far
did it fly with the steel trap ? It
had become so weak when Mr
Erwiu found it that it could fly no
further. Inquiry in the neighbor
hood showed the trap had not been
set anywhere uear there. As the
trap did not weigh as much as the
owl, it easily flew with it until it
was exhausted for lack of food, be
iug unable to catch anything with
its burden.
