JflCkftOh County Blockaders Shoot Down Two Officers irfevard, Nov, 26.—Deputy Marshal A. Galloway and Deputy Sheriff Luther Owen, who had just destroyed a large bolckade still in the mountains of Jackson County last night, were fired on by unknown men from am bush, presumably som^ody also in terested in the whisky and seriously injured. Galloway is the most ser iously hurt; he will possibly recover, but will lose the sight of one eye and one arm will likely be useless for the remainder of his life. He was taken to an Asheville hospital today by Deputy Marshal J. M. New ton and physcians. As soon as the news of the shoot ing reached here office^, at once be- gani to make preparations to run down the outlaws. Chief Deputy John Y. Jordan, accompanied by by Deputies J. F. Garner and J. F, McCabe and Branch Paxton are on their way into the mountains to apprehend those who attacked their fellow officers. Blood hounds were sent for, but a rain ren dered them useless. Deputy Jordan said that he would leave the railroad at Lake Toxaway and go 12 country with his posse, “We will not leave a stone unturned. We are going after them and will stay until wo fiind them,” he. added. Sheriff j, H. Pickleseimer, of Tran sylvania County with deputies assist ed by Jackson County officials are now guarding the scene of the shooting The rain, the roughness of that part the country, which the outlaws know better than the posse, and the fact that the ofHcers are ignorant of even of. the strength of the outlaws makes the job of taking into custody of the men who shot Galloway and Owen as unpleasant as It is difficult.

He watched the play a while and one of the party turned to him and asked what he thought of the game. He said he thought it was all right “but I was wondering' why -you ■ didn’t make the negroes do that.” That is about right, it is a-good game, but it is awful “hard work.” January Ist^ 1916.
