Arthur Fisher, an -Indian, a fugitive from the Idaho penitentiary peni-tentiary at Boise, Ida., was killed and Daniel W. Ackley, a penitentiary guard, was fatally wounded in a pistol pis-tol battle on Tuesday. Fisher had been arrested by Sheriff Richardson and Ackley had come from Boise to take him back to the prison. Richardson and Ackley were placing leg irons on Fisher, preparatory to taking him to Vale by stage. Seizing a moment when both officers were bending over in front of him, Fisher withdrew Ackley's revolver from its; holster and almost with the same motion mo-tion fired at Richardson's head. The bullet missed the sheriff. Ackley grappled with the prisoner, who shot him through the abdomen. Ackley continued the struggle until the sheriff could get a shot at Fisher without endangering the guard. Sheriff Richardson pumped six bullets into Fisher's body, killing him instantly.
