DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.
. Negro Escaping from the
Chain-G Gang Shot by
a Guard.
Human Life a Cheap Commodity TO a
Man with a Pistol.

AS gross an abuse Of power vested
temporarily with an irresponsible and
reckless prison guard as could well be
imagined, took place this morning at
eight and a half o'clock in the north
east portion Of the city, where the old
Raleigh road crosses the Louisville rail-
road.
The chain.gsng, consisting Of about
eighteen men, white and black, was
marching out to work at an excavation
in that n~eighborhood. Four guards
were in charge. A negro man, sentenced
to work out a fine fer some offense
against the city, broke ranks and started
off on a run to make his escape. One
Of the guards, armed with a repeater,
followed and gained on him rapidly,
calling halt halt and presently
firing without effect. AS the Negro
gained the railroad the guard, who was
not fifteen feet behind, stopped and
coolly leyeled his pistol and fred
striking him in the left arm
disabling it entirely. The bloct
spurted out fearfully, and the guard LEI
him back to put him to work in tina
condition. Bat better counsel prevailed
and the wounded prisoner was taken t.
the station-house. A passing either
who witnessed the shooting was inso
lently repulsed when he asked the nam,
Of the guard and the negro. The negrr
could easily have been caught, but tn
irresponsible guard, who is not an Office
Of the law, found it more in harmon,

but having a pistol and a bit Of brie
authority, would have felt that it was al
the same.
This is a shame and a crime for whie.
there is no apology. The negro's nam
is John Love, arrested for vagraney
name Of the guard, VIM. Whalen, an,
he has not been arrested.
