BROWN DIES OF WOUND
NEGRO SHOT BY DEPUTY MAR
 SHALL BEHYMER.
Black Attacked the Omcer With a Chair When Attempt at Arrest Was Made--Arrangemen to En-
 tain Secretary Moody.

Pensacola. Fla, May 13.-(Special. .)-Ike Brown, the negro who was shot by United States Deputy Marshal Behymer when the former fought the officer with chair, was shot more seriously than had been supposed, his death took place yesterday afternoon.
 Deputy Marshal Behymer is carrying out his duties In the United States Court here. and shows scars where the negro had savageiy attacked him. He shot in self-defense, but the only thing that may go against him is the alleged fact that Brown was not possessed of the best sense. It is related that the negro, when arrested upon former occasion took a fit."
 This afternoon at 2 o'clock a court of inquiry was convened at the navy yard by order of Captain Dickens, command ind officer, to investigate the matter in detail and ascertain whether the officer was justifabIe in the use of his pistol
 The matter will also be considered by the United States grand jury which is now in session, but 1t is expected that the body will not reach the case before tomorrow on account of heavy business.
 The ofYicer who did the shooting is not a regular deputy of United States Mar shai McGourin. He was employed to at- tend the court now in session, and was clothed with temporary authority be- cause of his known carefulness in deal ing with criminals. The process was given him to serve on Brown because he was known to have possessed the cool ness needed in dealing with the negro.

who were not made prisoners tele-
graphed the proceedings to Mr..

morning. Evon then the officials
refused to release the prisoners upon

to the ground. .lssos
The farm was rented by q Mr..
Hampstead and the family were
awakened about three o'clock in the
morning by the flames only just in
time to save themselves from ter
rible death. No household effects
were saved and they are almost q
total loss to Mr.. Hampstead as he
carried very little insurance. There
was $500 insurance on the house
In the granary 1000 bushels of corr

to have been from lightning which

sharp during the storm of the early
hours on Sunday morning.
