Saturday about 2 o'clock Eb Moran, son and deputy under Sheriff James W. Moran, arrested a negro named John Ely at a depot on the charge of burglary. He was assisted by Deputy Sheriff S. W. Warnack, and they took from him a pistol and gold ring that he had stolen from the house of George Bendel, two miles south of London. On the way to jail the negro attempted to get away and ran three squares, when Moran fired at him, the ball striking him in the back, paralyzing him and from the effects of which the negro will die. He was taken to the court-house and searched and on his person was found a razor, a large barlow and a gold watch that belonged to Geo. Bendel. At the depot where he was arrested was also a side of meat taken from Bendel's house. Mr. Bendel was out in a field at work and the man had broken in at a window. No arrests. [1]---
