keeper, shot at him this morning. The
negro was drinking, Patrolmen Clark
and Senser started up the stairs to
arrest him, but Tice opened the trap
door and fired twice. Patrolman Clark
being in the lead, got both bullets, one
in the groin and the other in the leg.

negro appeared at the window and
fired two deliberate shots at him, and q
pistol duel followed.

ments with shotguns and rifles. They
were dispatched to the scene in automo-
biles, carriages and street cars. The
negro having exhausted his ammunition,
laid on the trap door and fusillade of
lead was sent into the tower. Finally
patrolman got under it with an auto
matte pistol, shooting steel bullets of
4j caliber, and sent shot after shot
through the floor.
Tees wife appeared and went to the
door, which was opened for her. Be-
fore she could get in policeman pulled
her back and jumped inside. Ticemade
for the officer, who dubbed him into in
sensibility and carried him to the
ground, amid cheers from hundreds of
people, who wanted to lynch the ne
gro.
