CAUGHT AFTER A FIGHT.
One Outlaw and One Officer Killed and Two Other* Shot. Big Stone Gap, Va, Jan. 30. —Three Virginia officers tracked the two Fleming brothers, outlaws, from this county to West Virginia,and found them Thursday in a store in Boggs, a lonely little mountain town more than 50 miles from a railroad. Cal Fleming was shot instantly through the brain. Heenan, his brother, shot each of the three officers. He was shot in the chin and had the fingers of his right hand shot away. He shot Ed Hall through the bhck of the head, Doc Swindell through the neck and John Branham through the right lung. Then he gave up. Cal Fleming lived long enough to ask to be brought back home, but was buried
where he was killed. Heenan is in jail at Nicholasville and will probably recover. Branham is dead and buried near Cal Fleming. Hall and Swindell, who are badly wounded, came home Saturday.
