Nov. 10.—-Eight persons were killed and ten others were wounded yesterday in a fight be tween James Deckard, a negro des perado, and officers. The disturbance began at the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad sta tion, where Deckard engaged in a fight with an Indian boy, Steve Grayson, and beat him into insensibility with a rock. Friends of Grayson notified the po lice and when Policeman Klaber went to the station, Deckard fled to his house near by, barricaded himself in, and when Klaber approached, Deck- ard shot and instantly killed him. Sheriff Robinson gathered a posse in a few minutes and hurried to the scene. Part of this ifosse was made up of a group of negroes, whom the sheriff commissioned as deputies. As the posse approached the house, Deck ard opened fire with a rifle, firing as rapidly as he could load his weapon. The sheriff fell first, instantly killed. Then five of the negro deputies were ■lain. Deckard’s house was soon surround ed by a frenzied mob of armed men. Fire was set to a house just north of Deckard’*. Volleys were poured into Deckard’s house and he was shot down. He was seen to roll over on the floor strike a match and set fire to his own house, which was soon a roaring furnace, in which his body was baked. Deckard evidently had a large quantity of ammunition storen In his house, for many cartridges ex ploded while the house was burning. Governor Haskell, at Guthrie, was notified of the battle and of the bad feeling between whites and negroes that had grown out of it, and threat ened a race riot.
