THE BEE: NEGRO FANATIG KILLS FOUR AND INJURES THREE (Continued from Page One.) ' and part of the kitchen into the alley and when the police were able to en- ter the building it was a wreck. The found an explanation in McIntyre’s notes, which he left scrawled in lead pencil on a soiled piece of brown pa- per. “The almigh'y G>d has made me a prophet unto all nations ana aiso my wife, Hattie Mclntyse,” ran the note. Note Left by Fanatic. “You shall know that the Lord has sent me to gather unto the Lord the remnant of the Adonic seed.” (At this place in the scrawl, the negro wrote three capitcl C's and the initials “P. H.”) “The Lord has made me the saviour of all Africans of America and now I shall recommend all that are worthy unto my Heavenly Father, the great God of ‘all creation. The Lord has given me a spirit to judge the quick and the dead, | “I must die in this land that I may carry my reports unto Almighty God concerning the land of the United States.” Begins Shooting at 5 O'Clock. The negro first attracted the atten- tion of neighbors by shouting about 3 o'clock in the morning. He grew more violent toward 5 o'clock and alarmed neighbors came out to inves- tigate. The negro began to shoot and calls immediately were sent to the police. I Frank Freemuth, one of the police, told this story: “Stuart Dean was shot when he en- tered the building after breaking down a rear door. I and four other policemen were with him, but he was the first to enter. He was shot and killed the instant that he crossed the threshold. Clement and Crabtree were shot whien th% entered to re- cover Dean's body. Both fell and we had to go in and get the three of them, “The crazy negro was barricaded behind a trunk and other' articles when we came in. He had a rifle and a revolver and fired so fast that I couldn’t count them.” Story of Mrs. Knox, Mrs. Knox gave this version: “I was awakened at 5 o'clock by shouts and screams,” she said. “I awakened my husband and we found that the screams came from a woman at McIntyre’s home. We went out on our porch, A bullet struck my husband and he fell dead, I started back in the house to warn my niece. A bullet struck me in the back.” Mrs. Knox told her story from a cot in the hospital, where it was said her condition was serious. She said that neighbors for some months had considered McIntyre queer and did not associate with him. His actions at times Lecame so strange that the police were called, but his offenses were not considered serious enough to warrant arrest. Woman Loads Guns. Mclntyre's wife is supposed to have assisted him by . reloading his weapons. ‘A cartridge belt was found around her waist simifar to one warn by her husband. The negro fired with deliberation, almost as though at target practice. After the neighbors became aroused it was not long until squads of police flocked to the scene, headed by Chief Healey himself. It was 8 o'clock, however, three hours after the firing of the first shot, be- fore the tragedy ended with the death of its instigators. The first detail of twelve policemen under Lieutenant Wesley Westbrook attempted to storm the house with clubs and pistols, but were driven back: Rifles were brought up. The blue coats poured a fusilade nto ev- ery window. For a time the negro ceased to fire and it was thought he was dead, when a policeman tried the door he reopened fire, going from window to window and firing with calm precision. Fire Goes Out. The bluecoats were chary of Mc- Intyre's marksmanship by this time and authority was obtained to fire the building. It was so hazardous an undertaking, however, that only a small blaze was started among the shingles, and this died out of itself. Policeman Dean was killed as he broke down the rear door of the Me- yYourHeatin OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, Intyre house. Clement and Crabtree were shot when they entered to re- cover Dean’s body. Mrs. Overmeyer was slain when she went in search of her husband, who had gone to inves- tigate the shooting. Dynamite finally was brought and exploded, wrecking the house. Mrs. McIntyre's head was blown off and her body riddled with bullets. She was found thus, but Mclntyre, al- though wounded, was leaning against a bedroom door leading from the kitchen. Before he could fire a bullet one from one of the officers found its mark in his head. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. American Soldier Shoots and Fatally Wounds a Mexican Douglas, Ariz., July 18.—Private R. Tucker, Eleventh infantry, shot and probably fatally wounded Antonio Rodriguez, a Mexican musician late today while the Mexican and a com- panion were making their way toward the international boundary. One of them carried a rifle, according to the guard’s statement. All American guards are said to have instructions to fire on anyone bearing arms should they fail to halt when ordered to do so. They are also said to have been instructed to pre- vent any traffic with Mexico here or at any other point than the closely guarded gate at the American customs house.
