The town was sll excitement last night.
About 8 80 clock Officer Charles ONesl
attempted to arrest Joe Hays, negro Por'
ter at the St. Clair Hotel, charged with
carrying concealed weapons. The negro
is stout, active man and managed to
break O'Nears hold and escape, although
beat severely over the head with revolver.
When on the outside of the American
House Hays stopped. 0'Neal rushed up
to him, VIXEN the negro suddenly drew his
revolver threw il against the othcers
breast and pulledthetriggsr. Fortunately
the weapon did rot explode. ONeal then
drew his revolver and, ss the negro made
off, covered him, but refrained from shoot
inc on account Of the crowded sidewalks.
Hastily following the fugitive ne bred two
shots at him as he. turned scorner, put ne
escaped. Just at this time an alarm Of
Ere attracted the oroxd to snothr part o.
the city. At the same time Hays entered
the st. Clair Hotel and drawing revolver
demanded his wages Of Colonel Dorsey,
swearing he would kill the first man who
left the room. The Colonel refusing, the
negro bolted through the door and out in
an alley by way of the back yard, Since
that he has not been heard Of. Great ex'
citement prevails. Hays is a desperate
man, and it is feared he may kill anyone
who attempts to arrest him.
