NORMAN'S REMAINS INTERRED.

Story of His Death Told by Weeks, Who Accompanied Body.

Tifton, Ga.. June 24.—(Special.)—The remains of J. Hansell Norman, who was killed Thursday afternoon at Brooksville, Fla., by S. B. Keagin, commonly known as "Dow" Keagin, arrived in Tifton this morning, and were met by M. D. and Frank Norman and J. W. Nesmith, of Norman Park; Rev. George F. Clark, of Crossland. and Messrs. Harrell and Bell, of Moultrie.

The Atlantic and Birmingham railway furnished a special train to convey the remains to Norman Park. The interment took place at Mount Olive churchyard, near that place, today, Rev. A. M. Bennett, of Moultrie Baptist church; Rev. P. A. Jessup, of Tifton, and Rev. George F. Clark, of Crossland, conducting the funeral services.

J. S. Weeks, who accompanied the remains from Brooksville, gives the following particulars of the killing: Keagin, who was in Norman’s employ, was beating a negro when Norman remonstrated with him. This made Keagin angry and he demanded if Norman wanted to take the negro's part. The reply was that he did not, but that there was no use to beat the negro. Keagin picked up an ax and started to advance on Norman with it when the latter put his hand to his pocket and told him not to come on him with the weapon. Keagin dropped the ax and exclaimed, "If shooting is what you want I am in for it," drew his pistol and shot Norman twice, from the effects of which he died in three minutes. Norman did not draw his pistol at all. Keagin fled and so far has eluded capture, although a strong effort will be made to get him. Keagin is said to have killed a negro in Colquitt county before going to Florida.

J. Hansell Norman was 22 years of age, the oldest son of State Senator J. B. Norman, Jr. of Norman Park, the wealthiest citizen of Colquitt county. He was unmarried, but is said to have been engaged. He went to Florida early in the present year to engage in the turpentine business and was succeeding well
