Conference Work. ~.
Readers of the REGIsTaR will remem-
Der the siege the BellGre police had IN
attempting to arrest one Eustace knight
some weeks ago, and that one OF them,
Officer Criswell, was shot by knight.
Night before last Knight returned to
town, and, it is said, made ugly threats
concerning what he would do to the
police, and to other of his enemies.
Such state of terror did he create, that
the rolling mill coal miners entered the
bank yesterday armed. He had threaten
cd one OF their number, Henry White,
who caused his arrest at the time OF his
first trouble. Yesterday, Officer Girls
we'll brought word to the City Marshall
that knight was at Indian Run, pre-
sumably for the purpose OF making
trouble for the coal miners. Marshal
Archer, and Policemen Roeder, Curran,
Archer and Criswell, started to arrest
him, each taking different routes. Girls
will came up with him on the hill just
north of Indian Run, when Knight drew
new revolver and proceeded to empty 1t
at his pursuer. Criswell not to be outdone
drew his own weapon and fired several
times. So great distance INTERVIEWED
between the two men that neither did
anv execution, especially AZ both were
running. Knight crossed the run, and
4. .n,,tI, .y.1.a ohrtIntlS
| upon the Marshal. His revolver was
already in his hand. Aiming 1t and ut
tering the words, Look out, Archer!
| IN shoot" he fired, the officer being
only about five yards distant He then
turned, paying no attention to the Mar
sbaps commands to Halt" Archer
then fired running, and followed
up his shot with three others in
| quick succession, one of which struck
him in the small of the back, pierced to
his spine, then turned and traversing
his abdomen laterally, lodged in his LETT
side lust at the lower end OF his ribs.
| He ran on, incredible as it seems, for at
least a half mile, and then sank from
exhaustion. When Archer came up, he
cried out, II give up" but still held
! his revolver, in which were three loads
remaining.
He sank rapidly. 4 wagon was OBJ
tanned, and in it he was conveyed
to the city Jail, where doctors were
summoned. They give it as their opin-
| ion that the wound is necessarily fatal
As awful an affair as it is, the people
feel a sense of relief that such desper-
ado no longer threatens their peace, and
even their lives.

perienCe speaking, after which the sacra-
mpnt was administered. Yesterday
