Article Text: Glasgow, Ky., Nov 11.--Robert BROWN was arrested under the most thrilling circumstances this afternoon. Last night BROWN shot and killed his father-in-law, Louis MCCLELLAN, and severely wounded his mother -in-law and sister-in-law. BROWN had made both demands and threats on the MCCLELLAN family. After shooting all around their home last night he escaped. To the surprise of all the survivors and the wounded relatives he returned to the MCCLELLAN home this morning with the avowed purpose of finishing the slaughter. Today he shot Mrs. MCCLELLAN and her son and returned to his farm and fortified himself in his barn. Officers and a large posse surrounded the barn and over 100 shots were exchanged, BROWN opening fire on their approach. He continued the fusilade till his ammunition was exhausted. Then the posse proceeded to light matches to torches with which to fire the barn. BROWN threw his two guns out, also his two pistols, and jumped, immediately holding up both hands! and begging piteously for protection. He was immediately brought to this city by Deputy Marshal BAILEY and others and was very nervous, as threats of lynching were yelled at him all along the way into town. In the fight at the barn, which continued from morning till afternoon, Sheriff BARLOW was shot trough the hand and Deputy John NEICE through the ear. Several others were slightly wounded. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ KY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
