Frank Price Killed By
Simon Stewart.
In a row that occurred in an
old outhouse at the Rogers old
saw mill place last Friday even¬
ing, Simon Stewart shot and
killed Frank Price. A donble
barrelled shotgun was used and
the whole load entered in his
breast striking his heart, death
resulting instantly.
Stewart escaped from the scene
of the shooting before any officers
arrived, but was avrested Satur¬
day evening by sheriff Crow in
the field of Judge W. N. Spence,
about a mile from the scene of
the killing. He was carried to
Camilla ami placed in jail to
await his commitment trial which
will take place at Camilla Satur¬
day morning before Justice of
the Peace J. K. Hilliard.
It is reported that at the time
of the kiliing there was about lif
teen or twenty negroes in the old
house playing a “skin” game,
and that Price’s luck ran high
' up the game, put
the? in hi« ’poekfd.. arid mi
the demand of Stewart for two
dollars and fifty cents, ran his
hand in his pocket, apparently
in compliance with the demand,
when Stewart fired upon him.
When the officers of the town and
others from town arrived on the
scene, Price’s body looked as if
it had been moved about, and
a pistol was grasped in his right
hand.
Some Very Badly Needed
Work Being Done.
The city authorities have a
crew of hands at work this week
cleaning the city property in the
cemetery. This work will greatly
improve the looks of the proper¬
ty and was very badly needed.
It is hoped that those who own
private lots will follow the city’s
course and clean theirs off while
the city’s force is at work and
thereby keep the cemetary clean
and beautiful as it should be.
