Another Negro Killed

Sunday night a party of colored people gathered at a house in Wilkerson 
District and were frolicking and drinking and two men had a quarrel and then 
had a shooting scrape. George Mage, known as “Little Geo. Mage”, shot and 
killed Jerry Taylor.

It is hard to find out the particulars and at this writing no arrests have been 
made.
