TOWN MARSHAL KILLED
CHEF OF POLICE GILLIS SHOT DEAD
AT SUMMIT.

| Summit, Miss, Nov. 1.-About
| 1:30 o'clock this afternoon Henry
Marsh, familiarly known as
I"Pat," shot and killed Chief of
Police /. B. Gills in the grocery
department of the Hyman Mer-
camille Co.'S store. GiIlis was
shot in the right side Of the back
of the head, and died instantly.
There was much excitement and
many different versions of the
affair. It appears that Joe Nc
Cearley and Henry Marsh had
been drinking. McCearley went
into the store of the Hyman Mer-
camille Co. and bought some No.
8 shells for shot gun, stating that
he was going bird hunting. While
in the store, McCearley and Marsh
became involved in wordy algu-
ment. Officer Gillis went into the
store and arrested McCearley.
McCearley struck Gillis with his
fist, and Gillis raised his club to
strike McCearley. Marsh, who
was standing behind the two,
picked up McCearley's gun,
which had been lying on some
sacks, and told Gillis that if he
struck McCearley he would kill
him. Gillis turned partially
around, as if he was going out the
front door with McCearley, to
whom he was still holding, when
Marsh raised the gun and fired at
Gillis, the entire load entering the
back of the head, near the right
ear. Gillis threw up his hands
and fell dead. He never spoke
after being shot.
Marsh escaped through the back
door of the store, with the gun in
his hand. Blood hounds were put
on his trail. but did not overtake
him.
A telephone message from
Johnston Station late this evening
stated that Marsh had gone there
in an effort to escape, but learning
that officers were close after him,
had surrendered to Messr
Coney and Crawford. The off
GERS reached Johnston Station
soon after Marsh had surrendered,
and took him to the county jail at
Magnolia, where McCearley had
been sent soon after the shooting.
Mr.. Gillis was in his sixty sixth
year. He was fearless and con-
scientious officer, and stood high
in the estimate of the people here.
He had been chief of police of
Summit more than twenty years,
and was never known to falter in
the discharge Of his duty. He
leaves wife, five daughters and
one son, who have the sympathy
of the entire community. He
was devout member of the Bap-
tist church, and his funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon at
3 o'cl ock.
