The Schley County News  
Americus Recorder--Mr. Louis Hill, of Schley County, father of Mr. J.M. Hill, 
who was shot in the fleshy part of the thigh one Sundy afternoon while 
resisting arrest, came to Americus one day this week and swore out two warrants 
for Mr. Chas. Hays, of the 17th district, one for assault and attempt to 
murder, and the other for carrying a concealed weapon.  Mr. Hays came in and 
gave bondfor his appearanceat the November term of Sumter Superior Court.  Mr. 
hays friends are very confident that there is nothing in the cases and feel 
that he will be acquitted when they are tried.  (Transcriber's note:  J.M. Hill 
was Jeremiah M. Hill, age 32 at this time, and had been married only about 3 
weeks prior to this in Schley county.  I would like to communicate with anyone 
who might have add'l information on this event or it's outcome.) 
 
 

Additional Comments:
Jeremiah Hill later relocated to Junction City in Talbot Co. and found 
employment at the coffin factory there.
