KICKS ON NEW SCHEDUL E

Bessemer December .-(Special)-Nlll Ill Shelton, a negro craps shooter was shot and instantly killed this evening about J o'clock, in a house on Fifth avenue be- tween Sixteenth, and Seventeenth streets, by Night Captain of Police Cefe Ross. Captain Ross has known for some days that several negroes were running reg ular gambling den in the house, but up to this evening he was unable to catch them at the game.
 He took Police Officer Frank Childers with him this evening and went down to the house. When the officers arrived on the scene the game was on to the limit, and the only thing that could be heard was the ever present remark from the different negroes, betting against each other that it took four bits to fade them, and they did not believe it could be done
 Captain Ross knocked on the door and told them to open it. They refused to do this, and he kicked it in. Just as he got in the house the negroes all made dive for the door. Several of them got by him. but when they came to Frank Chlders they found that he had the goods and he was ready to deliver them.
 He grabbed two of the negroes and held on to them. Among the men that rushed out of the house was this negro, Shell ton, and as a parting farewell. he took a pot shot at Captain Ross. Fortunately, his aim was bad, and the bullet only
 went through the lapel of Ross coat However this brought on more talk, and the captain then went to work. He hit the negro in the mouth, and the fight was oyer The negro fell to the floor and never moved. He was dead as soon as he hit the floor. The body was taken to hennedys undertaking establishment to be prepared for burial. The other two negroes were taken to the jail.
 It is not known just how many there were in the gang, but this crowd has been doing d land office business for some time, and it is thought that this will dampen their ardor for the elusive worries for some time to come.
