ASUPPOSED THIEF WOUNDED.
Shot While Trying to DiSaTm Deputy
Sheriff Fisher.
His Name is John McCrea-FisI1er
Says He Did Not Pull the
Trigger.

John McCrea lies at the Receiving
Hospital with a bullet somewhere in
his abdomen, which may cause his
death. and yet the wound may prove to
be not a serious one.
The wound is the result of McCrea' 5
attempt to do up" Deputy Sheriff NJ.
P. Fisher yesterday after the latter
had arrested him over in the Yolo will
lows for alleged chicken stealing. In
deed, Fisher says McCrea tried to MUIR
der him, and was really getting the bet
ter of him when his weapon was dis
charged in the scufiie for its possession.
Briefly stated, Fishers story is that
he had long been looking for McCrea.
and yesterday forenoon learned where
he was and went there to arrest him.
Some days ago McCreas horse and cart
We're found near Antelope where he had
abandoned them in his efforts to escape
the wrath of an irate rancher who was
pursuing him. In the cart was the
greater part of q chicken stealing out
ht-bags, sulphur for supplying the
roostng fowls, etc, but the officer
learned that more of McCrea's stuff was
at boarding house in this city.
Yesterday a man applied for it and
Deputies Fisher and Schwilk soon had
him in their possession. This man,
whose name is Heines, convinced them
that the things We're not his but that
he had been sent for them. They let
him go, and following him Fisher
found McCrea over in the Yolo willows.
According to Fishers story. McCrea
resisted arrest from the start. and he
had to force him at the point of the
pistol to submit to being handcuffed.
Heines was called on to place the irons
on McCrea's wrists. He got one on.
but the other was locked accidentally.
and Fisher dared not risk taking out
his purse to get the key as AIcCrea
was watching him like tiger
The officer tried to get him along by
leading him with one handcuff. but Nc

resisted, ard in the struggle he grasped
Fisher by the throat and the latter
could not shake him off The strug-
gle lasted till the officer became ex-
hausted, and then McCrea swung
around him and grasped his pistol
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-05-02

Fisher says McCrea then called out to
Heines:
Nov I've got the - -!
Let's kill him! Get his gun and shoot
him through the body!"
But old man Heines did not inter-
fere. and the struggle continued. Nc
Crea had hold of the pistol in the OFF,
GERS hand and as they fell to the
ground It was discharged.
McCrea soon relaxed his hold on the
officer, and then Fisher discovered that
the mans vest was smoking. and on
examination found that the bullet had
entered 2IcCrea's left side. He left
the wounded man in charge of Heines
and FASTENED to the city for a physi-
clan.
A wagon was procured also, and Nc
Crea was brought to the city and taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where City
Physician Nichols and Assistant Ply
stefan Ogden attended him. They did
not probe for the bullet. as it appeared
to have gone straight into the body.
The wounded man was resting easily
last night He was not apparently very
weak, and it may be that he viii re-
cover
While Fisher had come to the city
for a doctor McCrea gave to Heines a
newspaper containing an article on
Chicken Thieves" also a peculiarly
shaped glass about as big as a silver
dollar and one or two other things,
which he asked him to destroy or throw
away.
Heines says McCrea also remarked
that he'd just as soon die as so to Fol-
som Prison for life, and Fisher says he
made a similar remark to him as they
came to the city
Deputy Fisher has several big bags
full of articles belonging TO McCrea-
/ bags with feathers in them. sulphur
and various other drugs, purse con-
tanning few dollars, business cards Of
Stockton and San Francisco commiss-
ion dealers, old clothing, etc, all going
to show that their owner had had con-
siderable to do with poultry.
The Record Union" will tomorrow
publish an account Of the depredations
of chicken thieves in this and adjoining
counties which led to the officers get
| ting on the track of McCrea
The wounded man denies that he
tried to kill Deputy Fisher, and says
the latter shot him without cause. Old
man Heines was. however witness to
all that occurred, and he corroborates
what Fisher says.
