Killed by Outlaw.

Douglass, Ariz., May 19.-Deputy
Constable Tom Vaughn was instantly
killed and Constable Dan Graham Sc.
riously injured by an outlaw named
Smith, who escaped, and is being pur-
sued by posse.
The officers had placed Smith under
arrest on charge of being a sus-
picious character. AS they were about
to search him he drew six shooter
from his hip pocket and began shoot
ing. Before the officers could pull their
guns both were senseless on the side
walk. There were no witnesses, and
Smith made his escape into the dark
ness. A few feet from the scene of
the shooting he fell and dropped an old
SLOUGH hat. this being the only clew the
officers have of his identify.
Smith is regarded as desperate
character along the Mexican frontier.
1t is believed he is wanted for several
murders and other serious crimes.
Only short time ago he was arrested
for assault to commit murder, but was
discharged. If the posse .overtakes
Smith, who is believed to be fleeing
on horseback, he will without doubt be
lynched.
