(Special to The Times.) Willlamston, Aug. lti.- Chiel ol Police W. R... White was waylaid and shot last night' at H o clock wiule on his way home. The shooting oc curred as the duel was walking home alone on Main street, and just before lie passed the residence ol Collector V ueeler Martin.- which is about hallway between the" officer s residence and the city hall. A loud of buckshot was discharged, Irom a single-barrel shotgun, into the ol licer's back, the shol entering by the lei l kidney and coining out through the abdomen. Friends neard the explosion of the gun and the cries of Chief White and rushed to his as sistance. He was carried to his liomo and attended by four physU clans- who used every means known to medical science to save the lite which was fast ebbing away, untitle internal hemorrhage was so severe thai. the. chief .aank.sXK.ry rapidly and., breathed his last at 10:30 p. in. He was fully conscious until just before the end, and, said that the mnit who shot aim was only about ten feet away when the shot was fired, and that he recognized the man as a negro by the name of Brad Ungley. 'Two other gentlemen who live near the scene ol the murder aw the negro running alter - tuey heard the shooting and say they know it was Bagley. The sheriff, his deputy and a iorce of six men went to the house ol liagley about twenty minutes after the shouting. They found him undressed, arrested iiim- and lie is now safely lodged in Jill The only cause al Intuited for this daslardlv act on the part of Bagley is that lie lias for some time been en gaged in the liquor tralhe and thief White recently caught him in the act of selling a pint ol whiskey, For that offense liagley was placed under a bond for his appearance ut the September term ot court. Right much excitement prevailed on the streets last night and feeling against the prisoner was running so high that mob violence was feared but all appears timet this morning, though the people of the town are highly indignant that a faithful and elh clent otlicer should be shot down in the performance of his duty by a worthless negro who runs a blind tiger.
