THE MUBDERER ESCAPED

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.

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

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.
The above is the story of the fighC
as told to us by a gentleman from
that neighborhood.
