SMALL
SIZE RACE RIOT
AT cATTLESEuRG, KY.-oNE NE
GRO KILLED.-OTHER DEATHS
ARE EXPECTED.

CATLESBURG, Ky, June ia
miniature race riot took place here
TONIGHT. as a result of which one negro
is dead another negro and white
man moItslly wounded The shooting
was done by Bruce Lee, son Of Col
Warfield Lee, an ex-Confederate.
The dead negro is Harry Scott, shot
through the heart. The negro, Jas.
Shcckey, is shot through the shoulder
and the white man, John Galloway,
through the lower part of the aldo
men. Conflicting stories are told as
to how the row started, but the most
plausible one is that Lee and Galloway
had been drinking. AS they passed
in front of the shoe shining place run
by the negroes they were discussing
the pardon of Powers and Howard.
Scott hearing something the white
men were saying, retaliated with some
remark, when Lee turned and took
up the quarrel with him. Lee went
into a saloon, returned with revolver
and began firing He directed his
shots at Scott, and the second bullet
pierced his heart. The other negro
started to run, but before he reached
an alley was struck
Galloway was evidently hit by a
stray bullet, as Lee was not firing at
him. Lee was arrested.
Coroner Martin held an inquest The
verdict of the jury was that Scott
came to his death by a bullet wound
inflicted by an unknown party. Lee
does not deny the shooting.
