should be unprecedented. Officer Luther Sterling
went for him and as he turned corner on Fore
street, he spied the man he wanted. The man
saw him, and as Sterling tried to arrest the chap
the rascal pulled the trigger of the revolver point
ing it deliberately at the officer. Fortunately, as
he did so, Sterling seized the mans arm and threw
it up, and the weapon failed to explode, although
there are marks on the patent cartridge showing
where the hammer struck it. At the same time
the fellow seized Sterling by the throat. A by
