When O'Connor saw himself cut off by Reid, he fired at his new foe, the bullet cutting Reid's overcoat on the left shoulder.

Reid promptly fired in return, his bullet going into O'Connor's neck and causing him to turn a complete somersault.

The two officers then cared for their prisoner until the ambulance arrived, when he was taken to the hospital and pronounced mortally wounded.

His companion was afterward caught, and they turned out to be the very burglars for whom Reid and Ryan had been on the lookout.
In December, 1896, one of our officers was shot.

A row occurred in a restaurant, which ended in two young toughs drawing their revolvers and literally running amuck, shooting two or three men.
