CONSTABLE LACY.
Dangerously Wounded While Serving
Writ

Yesterday afternoon Constable Walter j.
Lacy, Of this city, while attempting to
serve writ of cjectment upon Mr.. VIM.
Parvin, of Oakley, about two miles this side
of Madisonville. was shot with gun in the
hands of Parvin, producing ugly wounds
in his right elbow and right knee, which
will cause the loss of both these limbs.
The trouble which led to this tragedy leads
back for several years.
Mr.. James Gilmore, the well-known
banker, leased tract of twenty acres Of
land at the west end of the town of Oakley
to Joseph 4. Wilson, and Parson bought
the lease of Wilson. Parvin, in time,
leased out seventeen acres and built a
house on the remaining tract, but became
embarrassed when property decreased in
value. A suit was afterward brought by
Gilmore to obtain back rents, and last May
another suit was brought before Squire
Wright to eject him from the premises.
The suits were settled by Parvin, but last
Monday the old writ of ejectment was re-
issued by Squire Wright, Parvin having
refused to pay the rent because Gilmore
had prohibited Parvin's tenants.from pay
ing him. Constable Lacy visited Parvin on
Tuesday last, and gave him until Wednes-
day afternoon to vacate the premises. Par
vim refused to comply, and, on the return

OF Lacy yesterday afternoon, provided him
sell with rifle and threatened to kill who
ever touched his furniture. Lacy asked
him to sit down and talk the matter over,
but he refused, and raised the gun as if to
FIRE.
Lacy watched his opportunity and
sprang at Parvin to get the gun from him.
a scuffie ensued and the gun either went
OF accidentally or Parvin fired it. The ball
entered Lacy's right arm. just below the
elbow, completely shattering the bone.
The ball then passed through the arm and
entered the right leg about midway be-
tween the knee and thigh and came ont
near the knee on the under side, fracturing
this bone also.
As soon as the occurrence took place Par
vim and W. M. McGary and Mr.. Wright,
who accompanied Lacy, did what they
could to relieve Lacy's sufferings. Physi-
cians were called and after taking several
splinters from the arm the wounds were
carefully bandaged and Lacy taken to his
home, No. 233 Barr street. where he has
since rested very uneasy. Parvin surren-
dered himself up to Squire Classon, of Mad
isonville and was released on S.. 600 bail to
await the result of Lacys injuries
SQUIRE Wright called at Lacy's home
this morning, and found him little bet
ter. Lacy wanted to know what the news
papers had to say about the affair. The
Squire told him he had not read the pa
pers.
DIR. Brown, Of Freeman avenue, dressed
the wounds this morning and expressed
grave fears that the leg would have to be
amputated. Lacys wounds will probably
prove fat,l.
'Squres Reilly and Eyitt visited Mr..
Lacy about noon and found him still in a
critical condition. DR.. Brown, who is in
attendance, SAYS that if Lacy's wounds do
not get worse the leg and arm will not have
to be amputated.
The two ex-'Squires also had talk with
Mr.. W. M. McGarry, who gave them the
following particulars Of the affray:
McGarry said that Lacy was sitting on
the chair, when Parvn came down the
stairway with rifle, which he cooke and
pointed straight at Lacy.
The latter, when he saw this jumped to
throw up the bore of the rifle. He did not
touch the weapon, however, and then was
shot by Parvin. Parvin said that he was
acting under advice of his counsel and he
was bound to protect his propert. Lacy
did not pull or reach for his revolver.
