Shooting Affray At Mauk

Another killing has occurred in Taylor County.  This time the scene is Mauk, 
and the parties Negroes.

It seems as if Green Searcy and Alonzo Hooten were engaged in a game of crapps 
when there arose a disagreement between them and Green Searcy shot and killed 
Alonzo.  It is not known whether there were any witnesses to the killing or 
not.  The Coroner and Sheriff Beeland repaired at once to the scene of the 
killing but Green had fled the country.  Booze, cards or women are at the 
bottom of nearly every killing.
