Negro Shot at Randolph

Last Saturday morning a negro, whose name we could not learn, was fatally wounded at Randolph, while resisting arrest; and we are told that he died shortly after the shooting. The facts, as we gather them, are substantially as follows:

The negro was charged with shooting at an officer in Arkansas, and had fled to Louisiana. Deputy Sheriff J. M. Murphy and Mr. Geo Ramsey were attempting to arrest him, when the negro made an effort to use a shotgun which he had with him. Mr. Murphy leveled his pistol on the negro and ordered him to drop the gun. The darky failed to obey, and Mr. Murphy fired twice, the first shot breaking the negro’s shoulder and the second hitting him above the heart. Mr. Ramsey also shot once, his ball striking the negro in the abdomen.

A Worm Killer. J. A. J. Montgomery, Puxico, Wayne Co., MO., writes: “I have little twin girls, who have been bothered with worms all their lives. I tried everything to relieve them which failed until I used White’s Cream Vermifuge; the first two doses brought four worms from one of them, the next two doses, twelve, one of them measuring twelve inches; the other child was only relieved of four worms. It is a most excellent medicine.” White’s Cream Vermifuge is good for children. It not only destroys worms, it helps the child to perfect growth, wards off sickness. 25c. Sold by R. Haas.

Mr. A. M. Edwards, of ward three, was in Farmerville Tuesday. He informed us that a burglar broke into Mr. J. A. Peek’s store at Ouachita Sunday night, blew his safe open and secured all the money there was in it. Fortunately Mr. Peek had only about $30 in the safe, and hence the robber did not make a rich haul. A suspicious character was seen about Ouachita a few days before the robbery, and as he was missing the next morning, it is supposed he did the work.
