Local Paragraphs

Taylor County was inflicted with another negro killing Saturday night which 
occurred at Horn’s turpentine still near Rupert.  The participants were Son 
Lewis and Leonard Scott, the former being shot by the latter.  One ball 
performed the tragic mission.  It entered the body of Lewis on the right side, 
ranged upward, pierced the heart and passed out at the left breast.  It is 
supposed that the Negroes were scraping at the time the trouble between them 
arose.  A warrant charging Scott with murder was issued.  The sheriff has thus 
far made a vain effort to locate Scott.
