They arrived on the scene, and found the object of their search, - but Bell was waiting for them and at once made a dash for the sheriff. The lat ter met. him with a blow in the "face which would have; said spectators, felled an ox, but it didn't worry the negro and he made another attack. It was at this juncture that' the sheriff smashed him in the face with the end of his rifle, but even this did not stop him and it took the com bined efforts of three men to subdue the negro and place him in' the auto mobile in which he was brought to NEW BERN. After being incarcerated in. the county jail Bell cooled down -somewhat and before he is released it is likely that his' ardor for fighting and raising a general rough house will have entirely passed.
