P. R., and who so far had eluded arrest. On Tuesday Provincial Constable Chas. Knight and District Con- stable W. Madigan got trace of the Italian, who was working in a field, near Bying Inlet, for a man named Rooney, an Assyrian. As the con- stables approached the Italian he opened fire on them with an auto- matic rifle, the constables replying with revolver shots. Mr. Knight, feigning to have been shot, fell into -, come bushes. The other constable, A, seeing his companion fall and think- ? ing him seriously wounded or kill- ed, turned and went to the Inlet u for ass1stance and a medical man. Meantime, as soon as the Italian had emptied the rifle, Knight rose and ran toward him, and on the ‘ Italian turning, he shot him in the on Them With a ter Rifle. leg, inflicting a flesh wound in the thigh. As Knight reached the man he was savagely attacked with the open. He stuck to his man, and using his revolver butt, brought him down and handcuffed him, but by this time became so exhausted with loss of blood and exertions-of the strenuous fight that he was compelled to remain on the battle- field. Shortly afterward Madigan greturned with assistance and both wounded constable and prisoner were conveyed to Bying Inlet. where the constable is confined to his bed from the injuries. Sporâ€" anco is one of the three Italians who broke into a boarding-house at Key Harbor Junction and stole about $80, the other two having been previously caught by Knight and landed in jail here, but from which they escaped in a clever man- ner and are still at large. Knight ldeserves great praise for his courâ€" age and good judgment. The coun- caped two. LEADING MARKETS BREADSTUFF S.
