was a walking arsenal was arrested here
last night after a desperate fight and
landed in the town lock up. Before the
negro was subdued. ap olicemnn's club
was broken over his head and he was
beaten into submission. Strange 10 say.
however, he bears no marks Of the blows
inhlcted. The affair created great excite
meut.
shockley boarded the Smyrna branch
train at clayton and stood In the aisle.
When the conductor, James II. Locates.
asked him 20 sit down he replied with an
oath that he would not be "bossed by any
white man and showed pistol into the
conductors face. Mr.. LeGates withdrew
in order TO save his life and when smyrna
was reached he telephoned for the police.
BLOW BROKE HIS CLUB
Chief Of Police Benjamin Turner and
his son Harry Turner responded and they
overhauled the negro two squares from
the railroad station on Commerce street.
When they started to place him under arr
rest, shoclSley quickly drew two revolvers
ana aimed lhtin Nl the omNeia. hclote ne
could fire, however, Harry Turner struck
him a terrific blow over the head which
broke his club. This staggered the des-
perado and then the chief OF policies son
knocked one OF the pistols from the
negro's hand.
Both officers closed in on shockley and
after beating him severely they managed
10 land him in cell in the town hall. The
negro. who was practically sober. was
very defiant. Upon being searched the
two loaded pistols and twenty cart-
ridges were found upon him.
SENT TO DOVER JAIL
This morning he was arraigned before
Magistrate Cummins on the charge OF
carrying concealed deadly weapons. with
threatening Mr.. Locates lie and with
resisting an officer. He was held In SgOO
bail for trial at the Kent county court
and in default was taken 10 the Dover
Jail at noon. He will spend the winter In
prison and viii not be arraigned until
next April. Meanwhile his spirit Of BRAY
ado will doubtless vanish.

" before noon the victim regained his
senses Drs. Jennings and McNeal Of the
Hahuemann Hospital staff who attended
the patient, endeavored TO learn his name
and the particulars of the affair, but the
patient was extremely reticent.

traces of other drugs. At 1880 o'clock this
afternoon the young man dressed himself
and walked from the hospital He has
