A running pistol duel between
Deputy Sheriq Abernathie and John
Hadnot negro cobbler, gave Cairo
the appearance of frontier town
when the west was wild and woolly.
The shooting took place yesterday
, about noon at the corner of Four
teenth and Washington avenue and
resulted in the negro being hit three
times by the bullets from Aber.
nathie's revolver
Charles Hudson and Whit Larry,
two negro constables, went to Had
not's shop on Washington avenue. be-
tween Douglas and Fourteenth streets
for the purpose of serving writ of
attachment for sewing machine.
When the constables got to the shop
Hadnot took his gun and drove them
away rs he also did the driver of the
wagon Hudson and Larry brought to
take the machir.s away.
The constables reported the matter
TO Sheriff Davis who advised them to
get a warrant charging Hadnot with
resisting arrest. This they did and
Deputy Sheriff Abernathie went to
arrest the negro. Hadnot was not at
..ls place of business, but was seen to
go into Smith Bios saloon. The dep
uty found his man in the closet and
placed him under arrest, searching
him there but finding no weapons. Il
amt got no gun" said Hadnot. The
officer did not think it necessary to
search the mans vest which was
hanging on nail and believes that
the pistol must have been concealed
in that garment.
From Smith Bias. place the officer
and his prisoner went up Washington
avenue toward the county jail At the
next corner the officer requested Con.
stable Hudson to come along. Hardly
had the latter stepped up when the
prisoner broke away and quickly

officers, firing six shots in quick sue
cession. The deputy sheriff got his
pistol to work in q moment end re
turned the fire. The negro's bullets
all went wild and did no damage, but
the officer hit the fellow three times,
once In the hand. once in the thigh
AMI again in the foot.
About this time City Jailer Lutz
came upon the scene and the des
perate negro threw up his hands.

, were dressed end he was then taken
