High Point, June 10—Police officer C.J. Reeves of the High Point department, died in a hospital here early today of wounds sustained in a gun battle between police and negroes here last night. Arthur Harrell, negro, was killed instantly and Officer F.G. Claywell and two negroes, James Staley and John White, were seriously wounded in the battle.

The police are holding for investigation six negros, Lizzie Worsett, Anna Robbins, Charles Barnett, Bozia Saunders, Tob Robins and Jane Robbins, and are searching for Charlie Green and Jim Carter, who are alleged to have participated in the shooting.

A negro answering the description of Carter was arrested at Salisbury this afternoon, but when officers went there to identify him, they found that he was not the man wanted. Another negro thought at first to be Charlie Green was arrested at Winston-Salem, but he also proved not to be the man sought by the officers.
