Selma, Ala., Dec. 27.—At 2 o’clock this morning Lee Pope, white, was brought to Selma from Sweetwater, his fnee and upper body full of bird shot, his eyes also having been struck and certain ly one and possibly both eyes are out. Near Nicholasville, in Marengo county, about seventeen miles North of Thomasville, Alex Jones, an escaped negro convict, fired from ambush upon Lee Pope and his brother, Zack Pope, who were trying to encompass his arrest. Both barrels were emptied at Lee Pope, and the negro made a break for his cabin, followed by Zack. As the negro entered the house, he shot Zack Pope in the leg. The latter kept watch at the house, and Bob Jones, father of the es caped convict, tried three times to bring shells to his son in the house. Finally, upon his fourth at tempt to get shells to his son, Zack Pope tired upon him and killed him. * A number of negroes arrived on the scene about that time, and by orders of Mr. Pope, set fire to the cabin, the negro being burned up in the house. As the roof fell in, he was heard cursing and swearing vengeance upon his pursuers. The negroes were anxious to ef fect Jones capture, because he had shot an old negro man that morn ing in the rond and had boasted that they would find him last night and finish the job. CHEER MRS.
