and fired over nls head at his
murderer. Three of tho officer's shots
took effect In tho assassin's body.
Mis first shot broko one of Stepli-
1 1 legs and two other shots
lo- tfect In his oilier leg causing
llesh wounds.
Stephenson was Immediately rush-
ed to tho federal Jail where ho Is
receiving medical attention. It Is an-
nounced that his wounds will not
likely prove fatal unless blood pois-
oning should set In which Is un-
likely at this time.
Tho dead officer's body Is being
hold hero awaiting instructions from
his father and brother who live In
Texas Ho was a single man about
30 years of ago nnd well liked.
If the funeral Is held hero It will
bo. conducted on an elaborate style.
Stephenson Is about 40 years of
ago and with his family has resided
hero for many years. Ho boro a
bad reputation and served one term
In the penitentiary from this place
for Introducing.
Officer Cathey several months ago
had trouble with Stephenson's
nephew Albert Stephenson who runs
a joint here because of the latter's
failure to obey thu law. On one oc
caslon tho officer was forced to
place young Stephenson under ar-
rest and when ho resisted tho offi-
cer beat him Into submission nnd
placed him In tho calaboose. Slnco
that occasion Jim Stephenson has
a number of times threatened the
life of the officer and told a number
of people that ho would "get his
man sooner or later."
Several parties aro said to have
been eye witnesses to last evening's
tragedy although too far away to
know whether any words passed be-
tween tho two men. It Is believed
however that no words wcro sjtoken
but that Stephenson began firing
as soon as tho officer stepped to the
sidewalk.
This morning a mass mooting was
held by tho citizens of tho town
nt which resolutions were passed no-
tifying all joint men In tho city to
placo all their goods 'and fixture
