Fletcher says that in all his experience he has not seen any- i thing like this. The man was shot at eleven times in close ^ range and never touched except by one bullet which merely > burned his hand as he was jump- 3 ing a fence. And during the ^ race the man did all kinds of . stunts. The gang was working l an south Ilayne street. The man broke ami ran and had got- > ten out of reach of the guard behind a fence, when he met ] Capt. Fletcher face to face, inly they were on the opposite i side of the fence. Capt. Fletcher . told him if he didn't stop he ' would shoot him down. Instead of stopping the man wheeled i. and ran hack. Mr. Fletcher shot ] at his legs three times, hut miss ed. When he got hack in reach ; I the guard lie was ordered to stop again. Instead he put his j hands on the fence to jump over. It was then that the bullet grazed ! his hand and he threw up bis 1 hands and surrendered. i They started back to the gang J with him. When in the neigh borhood of Mr. Walter Lock- j hart's house, the man saw Mrs. Lockhart in the yard. lie broke ! straight for her as a shield, and j for a time no one could shoot for fear of hitting her. When She ^ got out of the wav they began to shoot at his legs at close ia4fi?, , with pistol, rifle and shot gun. One bullet from Captain Fletch-r er's pistol went between his legsjj and killed one of Mr. Lockbart'jjj fine hens. The man kicked thmj ben out of the way and ran right on. (Jetting in the shelter of a | fence, he got down to the back ? lot of Mr. |. R. Rnglish. Here a colored man was hauling with a one borj g wagon. The man jumped on the horse hitched to the wagon- unit N-r;.'/? out the negro shut the lotj^MJ and he couldn't get out. He ^ jumped off the horse, knocked ( the negro down with a rock and | kept going. Of course thorhnsn was in full cry behind him. Across Church street he went , ami into the hack yard oi Candf tain Green. .As he mounted lllH hack steps to run into the house, I two trusty negroes from the J chain gang who had been fol- t lowing came up with him. One , f them threw a dog chain ] around his neck and jerked him j hack and both seized him. Cap- | lain Fletcher then took him in , charge arul the man swore that s le would run again just as soon f is they took their hands off. , lint Captain Fletcher changed < lis mind about this, persuading i mil n> llie MCip 1)1 IMC I WO SlOlll rustics, to stand until lie could lend up town foi chains and a ock, will) which his feel were ockcd together.
