AIKEN CITY POLICEIAN SLAIN Wade Patterson Victim of James Seigler's Gun.-Town Shocked by News. Aiken, Nov. 17.-One of the most unfortunate and -deplorable tragedies i the history of Aiken occurred here this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, when Mr. James Seigler shot and instantly kil! ed Officer Wade Patterson, one of the oldest and most valued members of the police force of this city. The story centres around a dog be longing to the dead policeman. It seems that Mr. Seigler had been play ing with the dog, when the animal beca-me enraged and bit, or attempted to bite, Mr. Seigler, whereupon the latter became incensed and kicked the dog. This drew a warning rebuke from Officer Patterson, who reminded Mr. Seigler that he had trifled with the animal. Mr. Seigler, it is said, replied to the warning by cursing sev eral times and the officer threatened kim with arrest. Trouble Renewed in Store. This seems to oave closed the in cident. The two men then separated, Mr. Seigler walking into the store of Mr. John Overstreet, entering through the side door from Park avenue. Of ficer Patterson walked to the Main street entrance of the same store, where the difficulty was renewed. Words passed, which, it seems, pro voked considerable profanity from Mr. Seigler, and for this Mr. Patterson ar rested him. Mr. Seigler immediately offered bond, for his appearannee and Mr. Patterson accepted the bond of $5. The Fatal Shot-,. ~ The report goes that Seigler hand ed Patterson a five-dollar bill, and without further words pulled from his pocket a 32calibre automatic re volver and fired four or five shots into the breast of the officer, produc ing instantaneous death. Bystanders - rushed up and found Officer Patterson still clutching the money and his revolver securely fas tened in its holster. the barrel point ing upwards. Mr. Seigler was arrested by Rural Policeman Holley, who was one of the eyewitnesses, and taken to the jail. Mr. Seigler is one of the prominent men of the county, being a son of the late Capt. A. S. Seigler, and has a host of friends wh,. de.eply regret the s hoo-.ng. Held in Esteem. Officer Patterson came from Edge field to Aiken about thirty-five years ago and has almost continuously since been a member of the Aiken police force. He was recognized as one of the best and most conscientious officers on the force, and was a man wholly and altogether void of any fear, being a't all times cool and re sourceful, and his untimely death has cast a gloom over the city that he has guarded so long and well during the dark hours. He leaves a wife and five children. THIRD TERM ROOSEVELT PLAN1 Trust Article Only "Feeler," Repre sentative Henry Declares.
