BOlfflS RETURN.
j esirs . Doiiehoo And Jones
Released on Bail.
rH Kllll. THE NEGRO,
Shot in The Upper Arm
And Bled to Death,
fheßome party, consisting
(ls Messrs. M- B Eubanks and
p \ Denny, of the Rome bar,
. n J Messrs. D. B. Hamilton,
y T Stanford, Fred Schlapback
au(] Walter Coker of Rome, and
Squire Will Rich, of Chulio,
) u . ve returned from Anniston,
accompany by Mr. Will Done
ioo, of Lindale, and Bailiff Abb
Jones, of Chulio.
It seems that Abb Jones and
Mr. Djuehoo had a warrant for
the arrest of Will Freeman, the
flegrowho had despoiled the
two young daughters of the
widow Jones out in Chulio, that
they found Freeman at work on
a farm at Choccolocco near An
niston, that they called on him
to surrender and that, instead,
he left his plow and sought safe
ty in flight. The Georgians fired
two shots each with winchester ,
and one ball struct the negro’s
upper left arm cutting an artery
Mr. Donehoo tried to s*op the
flow of blood and sent for a phy
s cian. It is stated that when
the doctor arrived and found
why the negro was shot most
positively refused to try to save
his life,|and when the next phy
sici n arrived, though he did all
lie could, the wounded fi n I
had lost too much blood and di-d
while his wound wls being
dressed.
Messrs. Donehoo aid Jones
gave themselves up to the coun
ty authorities and were the
guests of the deputy sheriff at
his home on Wednesday night.
Their Rome friends went down
yesterday and attended the hear
ing which resulted in bond being
assessed at SIOOO in eacli case.
This was readily made and this
morning all parties returned to
Georgia.
The negro’s crimes were hein
ous, and his death was merited,
and under the unwritten law of
the south the avengers will nev
er have to suffer.
All good men commend the
act of Abb Jones and Bill Done
hoo, who as a last resort shot
down the fleeing black fiend,rath
er than let him escape to de
spoil other orphaned white girls
and helpless white females.
Had Freeman been captured
in Hoyd county, the chances
ar»that he would have been
by Jud o e Lynch an j exe .
cute <l by Sheriff Mob. As it is
l* e is harmless for the future.
1 his fate prove a warning to
1,0 «« who need it.

Dear Sir: Upon making out
the tax digest for 1898 I find
that there are professional men,
firms, etc., who have failed to
make returns, and realizing that
to pay double will be hard on
them, I have decided to give
them another opportunity. So
will you please say through youi
Columns that if such people will
call at tax receiver’s office Sat
urday July 16, ’OB and make re
turns they can avoid being
doubled. Very Respt,
R. L Foster, T. R.
