The police authorities had several exciting experiences Saturday even? ing, one of which came near result? ing in the death of a belligerent ne? gro. Toney Moses, after cursing and us? ing vulgar language in the presence of ladies at the Atlantic Coast Line depot, resisted arrest. Officer Clyde made the effort to run him in, but Moses put up a fight against him and in the scuffle the negro was suc? cessful in getting possession of the officer's club. When the negro tried to strike him with the club Mr. Clyde drew his pistol and shot Moses in the leg. After being thus wound? ed the negro continued to fight and was only subdued after the officer had used the butt of his pistol freely upon the top of Moses' head, inflict? ing several severe wounds. The ne? gro was taken to the Sumter Hospital where his wounds were dressed. He was not seriously injured, but is still confined at the hospital. Upon being searched a pistol and razor were were found upon the person of Moses, which, but for the quick work of Of? ficer Clyde, he would have doubtless used. James Coat," a character well known in police circles, who had just ' completed a 60-day sentence on the gang, on Saturday proceeded to make up for lost time, and was having a good time destroying the household effects of his former friends and in? cidentally beating his wife. A war? rant was sworn out for him and being out of the city limits, the warrants were endorsed by Sheriff Epperson and turned over to Officers Owens and Tribble. The negro was soon located and placed under arrest.- In walking him up to the barracks he tried to escape and a rough and tumble fight ensued between him and Officer Owens. Mr. Tribble. who was roll? ing the two officers' wheels, rushed to the aid of Mr. Owens and landed several timely and effective blows upon the negro's head. Again they got him on the way to the barracks, but he made another dash for lib? erty. He was soon overhauled and this time was hand-cuffed and was safely landed in the guard house.
