BULLETS FLEW FAST
IN RUNNING FIGHT.
Captain Gaffney and Two Officers
Exchanged Thirty Shots With
a Negro, Who Escaped.

An exchange OF pistol shots. in which
Captain Gaffney and Special Officers Ahearn
and Clark of the Ninth Police District and
a negro figured. created considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood Of Jefferson ave-
nue. and Olive streets last night More than
thirty shots were fired in running battle
between the officers and the negro The
chase extended from Jefferson avenue and
Olive streets to Twenty-second and Chest
nut streets where the negro darted up an
alley and escaped.
The shooting occurred shortly after S
o'clock and was the result of trouble be-
tween two intoxicated negroes and the COR
ductor of southbound Jefferson avenue

Clark were on the when the negroes
boarded at Washington avenue. Upon be-
ing asked for their fares the negroes be-
gan TO use vile language in abuse of the
conductor. Several women left their seats
and moved to the front end of the car.
Clark and Ahearn. who were in citizens s
clothes. attempted in vain to qiuet the ne
groes. The larger Of the negroes made 4

The negro drew n revolver and ran south
on the east side of Jefferson avenue. At
the mouth of the alley between Olive and
Pine streets he stepped behind a telegraph
pole and opened fire on Clark. who was
nearest him. Clark returned the shots. Cap
tain Gaffney and Ahearn also drew their
weapons and fusillade followed. Bullets
began to whiz nncomfortably close to the
heads of the crowds waiting for cars at
Jefferson avenue and Olive street and a Wild
scramble for places OF safety resulted. As
the policemen closed in. the negro darted
from his temporary refuge and ran south on
Jefferson avenue. At Pine street he turned
east with the officers a few yards behind
him. When the latter rounded the corner
the negro turned and fired two shots. and
the three officers retaliased. At Twenty
third street the fugitive turned south and
ran toward Chestnut street. At the corner
of Twenty-third and Chestnut streets pur-
suers and pursued exchanged several aidi-
tional shots. The negro then ran east on
Chestnut street to Twenty-second street.

bowed them low. The scene at this point
looked more like a well conducted funeral

justly be described as a reiigiouS lynching.

negro named Bee Montgomery This sufiiced

REPUBLIC sPEcIAL-
Dyersburg. Tenn, Feb. ls.-This unusually
quiet little city vas the scene of the widest
excitement to-day. In the morning an open
air trial was held in the Courthouse yard,
ut which Judge Lynch presided over jury
or twelve or the most prominent men In
the town. This court. after hearing
adjulged Fred King, n young negro. guilty
OF attempting 10 criminally assault Miss
Elsie Arnold. and IL was not long until his
lifeless body was dangling from a limb
made famous in ,his section because four
other negroes have net their punishment
there at the hands OF enraged men. All
were negroes. and, strange to say, guilty
Of the same crime.
Large Crowd Present.
There were about 800 persons present al
this afternoons lynchins. and the occasion
was marked by the most perfect order.
The crime for which King met death was
an attack upon Miss Elise Arnold. a beau
tiful ana popular young lady Of Dyersburg.
with the purpose of committing criminal
assault. The attack WIS made with a
stick OF stove wood while she was in her
bedroom asleep. When she recovered con-
sciousness Miss Arnold was lying In IA pool
OF her own blood. suffering from wiund
on the side Of the head a~d in the side.
Her first consciousness OF her condition
must have heen some time after the as
satlit, as il was nearly . o'clock before any
OF the other members of the family were
aware of the fact.
In her dazed condition. she was unable
10 give any very clear account of how il
happened. But according to Kings con-
fession. he entered her room for the pur-
pose of outraging her. After he struck.
she screamed. This frightened him and he
raE away without accomplishing his at
tempt The crime was committed on SAT-
urday night. and the streets OF the city. u.s.
uaily quiet on the Sabbath. were thronged
all day Sunday with angry men. Toward
evening speedy lynching looked imminent.
but the mob was prevailed upon 10 defer
extreme action in his case until further in
vestigation could be made.
Tried by Twelve Men.
This morning at o'clock King was taken
out of the jail and brought to the court
yard and was tried by a jury. The evil
dence adduced against King was of over
wheiming character. and the hundreds of
men who at first suspected quickly became
convinced he was guilty OF the crime When
evidence was more and more against him
until at the conclusion the foreman OF the
jury announced solemly that:
we. the jury. find the prisoner guilty
beyond doubt"
At this announcement pandemonium broke
loose and wave of frenzy swept with the
fury OF a tornado over the mob. Quiet was
obtained. Relatives of the
young lady then began to talk to the
trembling wretch. They had talked with
him only a moment when he confessed.
Following this confession came a Wild
scene.
