advising him that negro had had
his heed cracked open by another ne
gro, and asking that an officer be
sent to the scene to make an arrest.
Squire Puryear called his brother,
Constable b. III. Puryear, who lives
next door, and together they went to
Mr.. James residence. James was de-
negro's shack, but when he saw the
officers approaching Allen boited
through the window and took fight.
Squire Puryear, his brother, Mr..
James, and several negroes took out
in pursuit, and several shots were
fired at the fleeing form of Allen.
They but served to increase mis- speed,
however. and he was not caught until
he had covered fully quarter OF a
mile.
The negro was overtaken on the
Roseneath road and showed fight. de-
claring that he would not submit to
arrest and would not be taken back.
Squire Puryear swore in Mr.. James

while his victim Is in serious con-

that the negro will die. and that there
win be charge OF murder entered

to be what there is every reason to be-
lieve it is, they will take it over and
operate it on a large scale.
The story Of the loss and rediscovery
of the Santa Teresa is another of ,he
thrilling romances of the southwest
mining country. The mine was closed
down in 1920 because of the indian
troubles, and the mouth of the tunnel
covered with loose earth. 1t was orig
inally worked by Spaniards, who were
driven out at the time of the Mexican
100 years ago.
Numbers of American treasure hunt
ers went into the hills near Arizpe to
locate the Santa Teresa mine, and
many searching parties have roamed
over the Sierra Azules, hunting for the
old mine.
