Constable Harrison Lusk succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained on July 4th, 1899, while making an arrest in Sewell. Despite being mortally wounded, he was able to return fire and wounded the man who shot him.
The subject was convicted of Constable Lusk's murder and sentenced to life in prison. Years later an investigation of the case determined that he did murder Constable Lusk but should not have been found guilty of first degree murder. He was paroled on April 2, 1908.
Constable Lusk was survived by his wife and six children.
