FUGITIVE NEGRO CAUGHT | The sheriff of Tipton county last week received a telegram from the authorities at Caruthersville, Mo., stating that they had Neil Reed, a negro formerly living in Tipton county, under arrest there on a charge of being a fugitive from justice. Reed is wanted at Covington for the killing of another negro named Jim Harris about two weeks ago. It is probable that he will be brought back to stand trial at once.
