REPUBLIC SPECIAL

Metropolis, Ill. Feb. 7-One of the blood
list affairs ever witnessed IN Metropolis took
place this afternoon at $50 in Danielss
saloon on the Ohio Levee.
AS result Marshal Gus H. Crouch Is
dead. Night Officer McGlasson wounded
and Glen Ferguson's head is battered
badly.
Just before noon to-day Clem Ferguson
and Les Taylor. two desperate characters
from Kentucky, came across the river be-
gan drinking heavily and announced their
intention OF killing every officer in Metrop-
oils. At Danieis's saloon they fiourished
revolyers. drove the inmates out and took
possession of the place A telephone call
was sent to police headquarters and Mar
shal Crouch and Night Officer McGlasson
responded.
Ferguson and Taylor promptly showed
fight and a desperate struggle followed in
which Marshal Crouch was shot through
the head by Ferguson. Three times Fer
guson, who is a very large and powerful
man. was knocked down. only to jump to
his feet and renew the attack. Taylor was
not SO aggressive. and had already been
subdued by Marshal Crouch when the kill
ing occurred.
Both men were taken in custody by
Sheriff Evers and his deputy. On their way
to the Jail large mob formed and fol-
lowed. cursing Ferguson and yelling. XIII

man ran up and kicked Ferguson and
struck him with his fist. The Sheriff and
deputy sprang between the crowd and their
prisoners. drew their guns and in firm
voice Sheriff Evers commanded. Stop,
None of that. gentlemen. These men are
my prisoners and will be protected"
The mob did not advance further. but
angry threats were made and much ex-
ceeded in quieting them.
preliminary hearing will be given Fer
guson tomorrow morning, when he will
answer to a charge of murder and Taylor
as accessory TO the crime. Ferguson was at
one time a saloonkeeper here. and II is
thought had an old grudge against Mar
shall Crouch. who was also Marshal at the
time.
