striking the negro, who returned j
the fire. Thtf negro dodged be- j
hind tho horses' head andEdwardu
bcbind the tail of the wagon. '
With Wray ducking between
then), they fired as they caught
sight of each other. Edwards
was wounded in the face by n
splinter knocked from the wagon
body by one of Davis's bullets,
but tho boy kept firing and reloading,
using bird shot. Not
until tho third load struck the
negro did he reel and stagger to
the roadside, nhoreupon tho boy
ran to him and emptied both barrels
of his gun into his body.
Then he jumped upon tho negroes
body and stamped out any
life that remained.
A great crowd gathered and
wanted to burn the body of the
negro and lynch his family. A
counsel c f cousins of tho Edwards
family pi evented this however
though the crowd was particularly
incense d, because it was said
that Davis was from Bullock
