Fatal Shot.
Pat White, q negro from down
about Forest Green who was re-
leased from the county Jail Mon
day morning after serving a sem
tence of rs days for assaulting
Emanuel Lewis, col, returned
to his old haunts the very day he
was given his liberty and at 6
o'clock that evening he was q
corpse.
After his arrival at Forest
Green he 'raised a rough house,
in Henry Yung's saloon and
was made to leave the building
by Dale Knowles, the bar.beep.
or, who is also deputy constable
of Charlton township.
When he had gone out of the
house in company with "Nannie''
Houston, another young negro
buck who had served the same
length of time in jail that White
had and for the same offense,
both began to cavort and swear
and make threats g q n
Knowles. Knowles went out to
arrest White and Houston fol
disturbing the peace. White
continued his abuse Of Knowles,
and Knowles made known his
determination to arrest him.
White, who had an open knife in
his hand, told Knowles that he
would cut his Cd ID throat,
and that he (Knowlns) couldn't
stay there all night and that he
(Knowles) would have to &c
home and that he (White) would
fix him then.
But Knowles would not be
bluffed and stood his ground,
fully determined to arrest White
and Houston both.
Seeing that he was in close
quarters and liable to bereturned
to Jail, White rushed at Knowles
with the open knife. but before
he reached him Knowles drew a
revolver and fired, the ball en-.
tering Whites body just above
and little to the left of the left
nipple and passing through the
right ventricle of the heart.
White fell and after two or three
groans expired.
DR.. B. Hughes, coroner. was
telephoned of the killing, and,
accompanied by J. E. Montgom-

F. G. Gebhardt, foreman; Chas.
E. Haffecke, John Hoersch, L.
j. Forest, j. L. Leach and
Robt. Ancell, returned the fol.

The dead negro was 81 years

White was convicted of felonious
assault on Bran Belcher, a
white man, in 1901 and was sent
to the penitentiary for two years
His conduct generally since his
return has indicated that he
