WACO, October 15.-'Last night Deputy

Mc(ihee. rode down to the Stiner farm,
fourteen miles south of the city, to. arrest
two negroes, Cap. Harrison, charged
with assault with attempt, to
kill, and Ed. Patterson, indicted for
handcufled Cap. and left him in charge OF
of McGhee, while he went after Patterson
at his house, two-story building, which he
entered, and found his man up stairs.
Placing him under arrest he proceeded to
handcuff him, to which the negro objected,
stating that he would resist if manacledi
before taken down stairs. Oglesby ordered
him down stairs, taking him by the
shirt collar as he. started. When
near the landing he broke loose
from him, and fled to the river bottom
near by. Oglesby, having his hounds with
him, mounted his horse, and started in
pursuit. After chase of two miles, the
dogs brought him to bay, the negro call
ing out that he would surrender. Oglesby
called off his dogs, and advanced on him
pistol in his hand, and when near him or
dered his hands placed behind his back,
which the negro pretended to do, but as
soon as the officer was near enough he
sprung at him, grasping the barrel of the
pistol. Then followed terrible struggle
for life, Deputy Sheriff Oglesby
firing shots and emptying his
weapon, but the negro, being the.
strongest succeeded in avoiding the range OF
the weapon. After inns rouSH-aHu-tuinil-
bio fight ensued, in which the negro got the
officer down, the fight continuing, in this
position until they wer. both com
pletely exhausted, neither relinquishing
his hold on the pistol during the encounter.
The negro finding that he would be unable
to get possession of the weapon, got loose
and fed AS soon as he was able, Mr..
Oglesby made his way to negro cabin not
far off, where he remained the remainder
of the night, returning to the city this
morning. He is pretty badly used up, but
saws if the negro had not been barefooted he
would have Jared much worse.
