WAxAHAcHIE, Dec. 1S.-[Speciul. 1.-The
usual quiet of WaXahachie was tlunged
into a high state of excitement about Z
O'Clock last evening. City Marshal j. IL.
Spalding, while attempting to arrest Charles
Smith, a drunken and disorderly negro,
was shot and instantly killed by Smith,
The pistol was forty-tive calibre Bulldog.
The ball struck Mr.. Spalding just above the
left eye. I. X. Allen, deputy marshal, first
attempted to arrest the negro, who resisted
arrest at first, then ran, Allen firing at him
several times, the negro returning the fre.
Marshal Spalding, attracted by the
firing. obtained a horse and went in
pursuit, and after he had fired on him sve,
eral times overlook him, dismounted and
in attempting to make the arrest was Killed.
The news of the murder spread with light
mig rapidity, and in few minutes the
town was thronged with armed men, and
the clatter of horses hoofs resounded on
every avenue leading from town, all in pur-
suit of the murderer. Many went on foot
in search, securing every nook and corner,
where it was thought he would hide, ana
guard was placed to watch his house.
About an hour after the killing the negro
approached his house, the guard ordered
him to throw up his hands and surrender.
The response was two shots, hred at the
guard, attended with curses and an order
to get out of his way. The guard returned
the fire and ran behind the house. The
negro ran about $50 yards,
into a yard and concealed
himself in privy, which was soon sur
sounded. Charlie Woodward, another ne
gro, forced open the door. The murderer
sprang to the door, with pisto! in hand, and
attempted to shoot, but the posse were too
quick for the fiend and the next moment he
fell riddled with bullets. An inquest was
held this morning upon the body Of Smith,
the Jury finding that he came to his death
while resisting arrest, from Z gun shot
wonnding, at the hands of unknown par.
ties, who had been summoned by the sheriff
to effect his arrest. The pail OF mourning
is thrown over the heart Of every citizen OF
our city, and though Marshal Spalding
has made his last round, and died on duty
in the protection OF the place and happiness
IF our little city his memory will ever be
cherished and Kept green in the hearts OF
Waxahachies citizens.
