which was in a few moments after the
end of the firing. Anderson feared
that if they got too close to him they
would rush him with razors and knives
as he had made life a burden for the
bad negroes in the vicinity and sev-
eral had been rumored to have threat
ened to get him. 1t took nerve and
lots of it but the officer was equal to
the occasion.
After other officers arrived Johnson
was carried into the house where it
found that he was still living. An

taken to st. Johns hospital where
he died at 11;13 o'clock.
Johnson was a bad negro, according
to not only the views of the police but
many of his own race, who knew him.
He came to Fargo. about three days
ago from Chicago, where he lived at
1923 South State street. He has q
very bad reputation and almost a hat
full OF dice were found in his grip in
the house. There was a gold watch
and $50 in money on his person but
on the way to the hospital the watch
and money were taken, Another negro
rode in the ambulance with him and
later the watch was found on this
negro although the money has not yet
been located. The pocketbook, in
which the money was kept, was found
lying on the floor of the ambulance.
The negro claimed that Johnson had
given the watch to him in a statement
before he was put in the ambulance
but the police officers believe that the
wounded man did not talk and was not
conscious after being shot.
The inquest has been set for this
at $3.50 o'clock at the Wasem
under. aking parlors where the John
son body is held. There are several
witnesses to be examined and DR..
Mitchell, coroner, stated hat 1T is
probable that the jury may later be
taken to st. Johns hospital to hear
the testimony of Clements.

Policeman Shot
Negro in a Revolver
Duel Last Night

Last night about 10: 80 O'clock a
battle occurred in the hollow between
Officer Charley Anderson Of the police
force and a negro by the name of Al
len Johnson, in which the latter was
mortally wounded, dying in about an
hour, and George G.. Clements, another
negro, was wounded.
Both Officer Anderson and the negre
emptied their guns, the policeman's
last shot taking effect, the negro be-
ing shot in the region Of the heart.
While both were so close together that
OFFICER Anderson has powder burns
on his face, he fortunately escaped be-
ing hit by any Of the missiles from
the negro's gun.
The affair is the elimination of a
lot of trouble the police have been hav-
ing with negros in the '.jungles" and
Its termination in the death Of one of
their number may result in some of
the negros hiking for other climes or
at least being more careful about
their conduct. =
Officer Anderson was p~atrolling the
hollow last night and when near the
Massey resort at the corner Of Sec
ond street and Second avenue. heard
quarreling on the porch of the place..
He stopped near the house to ascer-
tain what was going on. Johnson who
was Ill the quarrel, ordered the Of
ficer to on and when the patrol
nan did moi comply with the order
opened fire at him with his revolver.
The officer Immediately replied to the
fire and the fusilade was heavy. both
men firing at each other as fast as
they could. 1t is probable that when
some Of the first shots were fired
Anderson was burned about one eve
with the powder from the negro's gun
and this made firing accurately a Diff
fcult thing. When the officer fired
his last shot he said the negro sprang
into the air and fell to the porch.
After firing the first shot officer
Anderson crouched on the ground and
fired from this position, which
probably accounts for him not being
hit by one of the bullets that were
sent in his direction by the negro. A
stray shot hit Clements, who was n
of the negros mixed up in the quarrel
that attracted the officer.
The scrap, which attracted the Of
ficer's attention to the house, vas over
a woman. 1t was stated that a white
man went to the Massey house in
company with the negro, johnson,
where the negro attempted to take
Clements wife away from him. There
was a quarrel and the woman ran into
the house and Clements prevented
Johnson from following her. Then
johnson drew a revolver and threaten
