Aberdeen, Jan. 10—Chief of Police W.P. Page and an unidentified negro with only one arm are dead here today as a result of a fight put up by the negro when he was arrested early this morning on a charge of burglarizing stores in Raeford. The negro shot Chief Page and was in turn killed by Jean Merritt, a mechanic, who had accompanied the officer.
