Clark raised a Winches ter and tired, the shot taking died first in the hack and then break ing 'he collarbone. lie dual instantly. Clark immediately turned to Cato, the manager, who was in another part of the store and shot him in the right side, the hall coming out on the left side. Calo staggered out to the buck of the store and no lie reached the door a negro convict guard named c* r Van Horn, who was in waiting, struck him over the head with a rifle. Cato died at 7 o'clock tlii-> morning and the physician gives it as his opinion that the blow over the caused his death. News of the tragedy .vas immediately sent to Greenville and Sherilf John 1*. Crouch with a posse, went to the scene. The negroes, Van Horn and Clark, had made their escape before the posse arrived, but the trail of Van Horn was found and ho was tracked about iKpiarter of a mile into the woods. He r.? ?n> other negro convict guard named Mnvlield interfered withtho posse and ho was shot down m his tracks. Van Horn was captured and taken to Lclnnd, 11 miles distant, where ho was placed in the jail. He remained in jail all night under a strong guard, and at 8.30 o'clock this morning he was taken out and lynched by a mob.

Crow, however, after the previous shooting had armed himself and a negro who worked about the plaee named Aaron i? idler. When Clark made his up* pearance he was shot and killed by both Crow and Fuller. It is believed at Trad Luke that the shoot' ing is the outcome of a meeting held in the vicinity of Trail Lake by a negro secret society and that the negros involved were picked out to do the killing.
