The shooting was reported to the

resisted arrest and would have fired on
Mr.. Hunter had he not been too quick
for him and, as Davis threw up his
haud to fire caught his f.istol and u,l,
breeched it in wrenching it from his
grasp. Mr. Hunter showed both cool

his own life, AZ the same time sparing
the negros.
