Sheriff's Leg Broken in a Tussel With a Policeman

Elizabeth City, March 10 - Much excitement was created down on Poindexter 
street late this afternoon occasioned by reckless and fast driving of A.Q. 
Elliott, sheriff of Chowan County, who conducts a livery and sale stable here.

Officer Bell, seeing and realizing the danger, made several attempts to stop 
him and finally succeeded. Mr. Elliott, being thoroughly under the influence 
of whiskey, refused to go, so he got in the buggy and a colored man led the 
horse to the stable. When the officer attempted to take his pistol away from 
him a tussle ensued and both fell out of the buggy; the officer falling on Mr. 
Eliott's leg, breaking it between the knee and ankle. He was carried home and 
a physician summoned.
