over his heat. Learning this morning
that he was secr ctcd at the house Of another
Negro in this city, officers went hitler for
the purpose Of ttf&cting his arrest. The
fugitive concealed himself under the bed
and refused TO come out. In response to
demand that he surrender, he Swore that
he would die first. The officers BEGAN clear
ing the bed. and when they had drawn on
the mattress the negro rose through the
s,sS, pistol in hand, winch he levelled at
Officer Orr and RULED the trigger. The
officer caught the weanen, however, ana
the hammer fell upon his hand instead OF
the cap. Pharr jcrked the pistol from the
officer, and had II lcvelled at HIM second
time. when Hill tired upon him, the ball
entering bis forehead and penetrating the
brain. While ree'ing from the shock or bis
wound Pharr sought to shoot again, but
Tell before he was able 10 do so, dying
almost immediately.
