A DEPUTY IS SHOT.
MR. MccURDY WOUNDED BY A
 NEGRO.
Attempted to Arrest Q Desperate Black Who Fired on Him, In- dicting Serious Wound-
 In Pensacola Hospital.


 Pensacola. March 22.--tspccial. .)-Dep- uty Sheriff McCurdy of Escambia County, Ala, lies at a hospital in this city, dnn- gerously wounded. having been shot early Sunday morning on board an ex- cursson train which was speeding from DeFuniak Springs, Fla, to Pensacola. The train was running at a high rate Of speed, and 1t is miraculous almost that more were not hurt Fears are hpter- tsined for the Alabama officers Ncov- cry. His assassin. however, has been captured.
 The man who did the shooting, was Jessie Miller, asnegro whose record of crime was told by his arrest shortly af- ter the train had reached Pensacola. When the officers searched his room. and when the mans grip was found. Chief Schad of the Pensacola police force, found revolver which had been stolen from a hardware store in 0reenville, Ala. two months ago. a description of tue stolen property having found it's way to the Pensacola Police Department.
 Miller is held without bail. Six others have been taken in charge. In each case they are Black people, and three of them are disreputable women. Altogether Chief Schad and Special officer Ray have recovered ten of eighteen revolvers which had been stolen from the Greenville hardware store.
 Saturday was what is known as "Chil- dren's Day" at the. DeFuniak Chautau- qua. There were several hundred peo- pie on the train. The Alabama deputy held warrants for the arrest of Miller, and when the train was approaching Messy Head. in Santa Rosa County, the negro was sighted. As soon as the offi- cer approached the black. the later open ed fire, and one shot cut it's way into the body of the deputy. Several other shots were fired, and then the negro jumped from the train. Expecting that the second section of the excursion train would bring the black, the Pen- sacola officers. who had been informed of the shooting. stationed themselves at the depot. When Miller alighted, he locked into the muzzles of two revolvers. He made no resistance. The others were gathered in in quick order.
 Deputy Sheriff McCurdy was brought to the city on the last train. as he was too dangerously wounded to be taken home. he was placed in a hospital The ball has been difficult to locate and for that reason the mans condition was re- garded as serious Hk is by no means out of danger.

During the past few days 1t is estimated that not one of the ships here has been without a display of pa- triotism from the intelligent Japs who have enlisted for various terms of ser vice in the United States navy. When the call for funds to float the war loan of 70,0O0,OOO yen in Japan was issued a few weeks ego, there was not enc of the Japs in the navy here but who did not make a division of his savings and send scme home. The amounts ranged from $25 to $2O0, American computation, and there will be more sent as soon as the battleships of the navy get inside the harbor and the Japanese members of the crews are given shore liberty. Circulars, giving notice of the call for the purchase Of bonds, were sent the Japs on the ships.
