DASTARDLY DEED OF NEGRO GAMPLER, Chief Jones of Shelby Shot Down Ui Cold Blood. THE MUBDERER ESCAPED Chief of Shelby’s Police Killed While Ills- churglng Ills Duty—KIIIIuk Done by tllm Lowery, a Negro Uamoler—lie ward Offered. Ooe of the most dastardly and cold blooded murders that have ever been perpetraWdTn a civilized country was committed in Shelby, N. 0., about one o’clock Sunday moning, when Jim Lowery, a negro gambler, de liberately shot to death Mr. R. S. Jones, chief of Shelby’s police force. 'The particulars of the killing, as we learned them, were, that about one o’clock Sunday morolug Lowery and some other negroes were dis covered gambling in a room and Chief Jones with bis assistant, Police man Ford, went to arrest them. Policeman Ford went to the rear door of theibuilding in which the gamblers were, while Chief Jones went to the front door and demanded admittance, at the same time telling the gamblers to consider themselves, under arrest. When he ordered thein to open the door, one of them replied, “Alright, boss;”, but whether or not it was Lowery who replied, it is not knowi}. Any way, Lowery opened the door and immediately fired upon Mr. Jones, who was standing ready to enter the building.. The first shot took effect, and the wounded men exclaimed, “Doo’tfehoot any more— yon have already killed me;" but, ignoring this plea, the negro fired two more shots. As soon as be was shot, Chief Josm& pulled hia own pistol and fired three times at his assailant; but it not thought that any of the shotAjtruck Lowery, as he at once sooghjfeafety in flight. When be beadf the firing Officer Ford, whoj^^Woned at the back door, to the fi but Tbc Work &f ’SBoo/.o.” As the result of too much “booze," a negro on Mr. Luther Barratt’s place, a few miles above the city, got a bullet in his leg Saturday night, from a pistol in the hands of another negro. Cur information is to the effect that the “other" negro ras full of moonshine and unable to navigate in any certain direction, and while others were in the act of escorting him to the bosom of his family, he proceeded to perforate one of them. Whether thfe shooting was accidental or intentional, we did not,- learn. Dr. Brown, of this place, was sent for, ancHie went up and extract ed the ball, which bad entered just V j. j:> For Sale Mr. above the knee. On the same night at Magnees’ store, at Grassy Pond, a young white man and a negro had a little difficulty i n which the negro received a gash over the top of his bead arid the white man was struck with a rock. As soon as the negro threw the- rock he ran. Some one started after him, but was caught and faflld by a colored woman, and the rock-thrower'escaped.
