Salisbury Officer Shot

Salisbury, FeD. lo.-AC lU.l0 To-
night Policeman w. A. Monroe
and J. A. Siceloff were called to
North Church street, a negro
settlement on account of John A.
Jackson, a negro, beating his
wife. When the officers APP
preached the house from the rear,
jackson was seen standing in the
back yard, and as they came up
he moved off, Monroe called
to him to Hold on there, and
as the negro quickened his pace
Siceloff said to Monroe, Shoot
him Uncle Bill, if he runs, and
two pistol shots We're fired
with a shot intermission between,
Monroe and the negro passing
around the house. Siceloff did
not see whether Monroe shot or
whether the negro fired both
shots. After the second shot
Monroe cried out, He shot me,
I'm going to die" Siceloff turn
ed from pursuing the negro and
fastened to the wounded officer.
With Siceloff's aid Monroe
walked two blocks to Cox's store
on Main street and then carried
to the Whitehead-Stokes Sana-
forum. An examination showed
that he was shot once in the adj
domen, the wound being con-
sidered fatal. Jackson's old
home is Yorkville, S. C. He is a
tall and heavy black negro, with
a moustache. Chief of Police
Julian has offered a reward Of
800 for his capture. The officers
and a number Of citizens of the
city are on a hunt for him.
Monroe is so years old and has
been on the police force of this
city for twelve years or more.
He is a brother of the late
Sheriff James M. Monroe and is
considered one of the best police
men Of Salisbury. He is a widow
