Trail of Blood by Negro. Wetumpka, Ala.-Two men are dead and another was fatally wound- ed in a manhunt participated in by scores of citizens of Elmore county and a mob of citizens is scouring the woods near Floyd for a negro believed to be the cause of the bloodshed. The dead are Claude Kidd, member of the possee, and a negro named Berney. John Chrisitzberg was shot and fatally wounded by the unknown negro now sought by the mob. The trouble started when the negroes caused a horse to run away.
