young desperate who has been arrested
ten times for every year of his life and has
deem charged with almost every offense in

Thomas Beeham. one OF his companions.
McGrath and Beeh0m were drinking beer
In barn In the rear OF No. SO Henry street.
and quarrel arose. 1t ended when Nc
Grath shot Beeham through the
head. Word was sent to all police
stations that McGratk was wanted, and
officers from all parts of the city were soon
in pursuit. For some hours no trace of him
could be found, but " ord was finally re-
ceived that he he'd been seen at rhirtieth
and Halsted streets trying to sell q revol-
Yer for 20 cents. This clew was also lost.
and it was not until late In the afternoon
that officers Michael Fleming and William
Butler met man at the corner OF Fifteenth
and Canal streets whom they thought was
McGrath. They passed him. however. and
walked on several yards. when officer
Fleming said TO officer Butler that he was
positive that the man standing at the cor
ner was the man wanted for shooting Bee
ham. They turned about and advanced to-
wards the man. who was still standing at
the corner. Officer Butler approached him
and said:
will You tell me what yoar name isf'

it," and as lac spoke he drew n revolver
and fired point blank at Buffers head. The
bullet. however. went wide of it's mark
and struck Edward Jackson. who was
walking on tho other side of the street,
breaking his nose. McGrath fired q second
time, pointing his weapon at Officer Flem-
ing. The officers had drawn their own
weapons when McGrnth fired the firss time.
and as he pulled the trigger the
second time both tired ut him. One
ball passed directly through his heart.

would have proved fatal. McGrath's last
bullet went through Fleming's left leg, In.
