2 o'clock for Bertrand, this county,
to attempt to arrest the notorious
jim Albright, the accomplice Of
his brother Joe Albright when the
latter killed Isaac Large, their
brother-in.law, a few months ago
without provocation.
They located Albright at the
home Of jim MattingIy, who lives
on Collector Stotts' farm near Ber-
trand, about dusk, and the prosecut-
ing attorney stationed the deputy
marshal at the rear door of the
house while he himself went to the
front door and commanded ALL
bright to appear as he had a war
rant for him; but, instead of All
bright complying with the demand,
he opened fire through the door,
tearing out the panel, and poking
the gun through the hole shot
second time. The first load of No.
5 shot took effect in Elliott's breast
just below the heart, and the second
shot took effect in his left arm just
above the elbow.
Elliott, who is a man without fear,
did not falter but forced his way in
to the house to find that Albright
had escaped to the next room and
locked himself in, He then began
to get weak from the loss Of blood,
staggered out to the buggy, and
was driven to town by Mr.. Elkins.
Elliott died Thursday morning,
the 18th inst.
Albright was arr, sted by sher-
ifs posse and is now with his broth
er in the Charleston Jail.
