they will come to know their g%rotesque

SHERIFF VIM. Mckinney
SEVERELY STABBED
Shoots Negro Who Was At
lacking Him With
a Knife.
NO. 10

The public square was the scene of
serious shooting and cutting affair
Thursday morning when Sheriff Nc
Kinney aid Officer Osborne undertook
the arrest OF negro boy by the name
OF Charlie Lloyd, for whom n warrant
for lunacy had been outstanding for
several months, sworn out by his father.
an old colored man living in Gritter
district.
In the rencounter which followed the
attempted arrest, Sheriff Mckinney re-
ceived very serious cut on his right
arm, below the elbow, severing the
muscle and cutting the lenders. He
also has stab near the lett shoulder
from the Negroes knife. These wounds.
while painful and disabling the sheriff
for the time being, are not Of the very
dangerous nature it was ut first feared.
Officer Osborne, though & receiving
any wounds, did have his clothes badly
cut, and came very nearly being seri-
o1sly injured by the negroes knife. 1t
was after he had made these attempts
on the life Of Officer Osborne that he
turned on Sheriff Mckinney like an
I enraged beast and inflicted the wounds
before the sheriff could bring his gun
into play This he finallysdid, and,
Officer Osborne having gotten out his
pistol in the meantime, the officers
shot the negro five times disabling him
to such an extent that he could fight
no longer.
The wounds received by Lloyd were
regarded at first as likely to prove
fatal, bot he has apparently improved
from day to day, and it is now thought,
will live II he does. he wilt be carried
to the State Sanitarium as soon as it is
possible to do so, and will not be given
chance to terrorize his neighbors as
he has been doing for weeks past.
1t was several months ago that the
negro was arrested for lunacy, but be-
fore the date set for TRIAL arrived he
exhibited such marked improvement
in his mental condition, that, at the
reque-t Of his father, he was discharg-
ed from custody temporarily and al
lowed to return home Here he quiet
ly remained until TWO or three weeks
ago when he suddenly became IN
Manageable and dangerous, and Ordinary
Gam, his father and others asking for
it, ordered his re-arfest on the old
warrant, the execution Of which by the
officers brought about the trouble.
