THREE MEN KILLED BY A 
NEGRO.

   Mr. Lem Sanders,
overseer for Mr. W.O. 
Peacock, of Bleckley 
County, died Tuesday 
night about ten o'clock 
at the home of Henry 
Jackson, a colored farm 
hand on the place. Mr. 
Sanders was shot and 
killed with his own 
pistol by the negro, 
Henry Jackson, who 
disappeared after the 
killing. We were unable 
to learn any details of 
the tragedy. The story 
above was gave earlier 
this morning and with  
not as authentic, but in 
accordance with the 
report. 
 
Since the above was 
written a telephone 
message has been 
received here stating 
that Jackson has killed 
two more men- Sumpter 
Hogg, marshal of 
Cochran, and a Mr.Lewis, 
and is now barricaded in 
a house on Mr. F.R. 
Collins' place three 
miles east of 
Hawkinsville. 
   Sheriff Rogers and a 
large number of citizens 
left immediately for the 
scene prepared to 
capture the negro dead 
or alive.
