Jackson Argus – Butts County September 30, 1898
The Argus learns of a homicide, which occurred in Jasper county last Monday.  
The details, though not full, are about as follows:

Silas harden, a well-to-do farmer, living on Dr. White’s plantation, about four 
miles from Flovilla, was overtaken in the road and killed.  Alonzo and Joe 
Holloway, two brothers are charged with the killing.  Harden’s mule was shot 
from under him and then he was shot in the face and back, dying almost 
instantly.  His body was then dragged into a mud hole in the road.  The killing 
was witnessed by four persons, a brother of the Holloways, and a man named 
Smith, another named McElheney and a negro.  The homicide was a result of a 
long dispute.  All parties were returning from court at Monticello, Ga.,  No 
arrests have yet been made.

A deputy sheriff from Jasper county went to Macon last night looking for the 
Holloways, who are thought to have gone that way after the killing.  He said 
that he had received information to the effect that the Holloways would 
surrender today but he did not appear to believe they would.
