BATTLING NEGRO
SHOOTS HIMSELF
[Continued From First Pa^e]
of a large number of negro laborers
In Frederick street, is known, to give
medical attention to Noel, whom they
had been notified by fellow-boarders
was insane and suffering from want
of food.
They found the negro hiding in
the attic and when Dr. Whipple at
terru>ted to enter' the place the man
picked up a heavy shovel and drove
him into an adjoining room. The
negro then barricaded himself in the
attic.
Chief Earnest then attempted to
enter the room and succeeded when
the frenzied negro made a lunge at
him with the shovel. The officer'
warded of a swinging blow with his
shoulder and attempted to talk to the
man-.
Recovering his weapon, the maniac
swung and attacked the officer the
second time.
Driven into a corner and convinced
that the man was temporarily, at
least, a maniac, the chief drew his
revolver and, as the crouching negro,
crying wildly crawled nearer, he fired
over his head. Instead of retreating
the maniac made another lunge at the
policeman and struck him over the
head with the shovel.
The officer fired the second time
and there wa6 a wild yell from the
negro, as he closed with the officer
and locked his arms about his neck.
In the fierce struggle which ensued,
the men swayed back and forth across
the narrow room, each fighting for his
life. The negro was bleeding from
a wound in his side where the officer's
second shot took effect and the chief
was bleeding from a wound In his
right hand, where the shovel hit him.
The struggle came to an abrupt
end when the officer got his right arm

.around the negro's neck, causing his
! revolver to fire the third time. In
some way the weapon was pointed at
the officer's own left hand and the
ball passed clear through the soft
part of his palm, narrowly missing
the bones. The report against' the
maniac's back, and the pain from the
wound in his side caused him to give
up the fight.
Although bleeding from both hands.
Chief Earnest assisted by Dr. Whip
ple, who had been forced to stand by
unable to distinguish the attacker
from the attacked, carried the
wounded negro to the street and load
ed him into an automobile. At tha
Steel Company emergency hospital
the wounds of both the officer and
the negro were dressed. Neither la
In a serious condition.
The bullet which struck the negro,
hit a rib and passed along the bone*
inflicting only a slight wound.
With both hands swathed in band
ages, the chief of police descrlhed the
struggle modestly refraining from his
own heroic work.
"It's ai; part of the day's work," hok
depreciatingly remarked.
