PURSUING A DEsPERADO.
A Horse Thief shoots Constable and Es-
caDes TO the WaOds


FREDERICK, MD, Oct. 2.-Detective
Gfeentree OF Baltimore, was telegraphed to
arrest two men at this place who had stolen
two horses and wagon from George W..
Stonebraker of Hagerstown, Md. He i'm
medately left Baltimore on the 8 a. M,
train, and upon its arrival at Mount Airy
noticed two suspi iuus characters board the
train, both answering the description given.
Upon the arrival of the train at Frederick
junction the two men got off and took the
pike to Frederick, followed by Greentree.
At Frederick the detective had one of the
men arrested by Constable Ryan and Officer
Ridgely and taken before Justice Stokes,
who committed him to Jail. The man gave
his name to Greentree as Richard S. Bradley,
but to the constables as Joseph Brodley
His accomplice up to this writing has not
been heard from.
AT noon Constable Ryan took Bradley in
his buggy to the jail. Upon reaching the
gate, Bradley drew pistol and fired at Ryan,
missing him. Ryan grabbed the pistol,
turning it on the prisoner, when he (the
prisoner) drew another one and fired at
Turnkey Danner, who had come to Ryan's
assistance, accompanied by Sheriff Barrack
and Deputy Sheriff Benner. Missing Dam
ner, the shot passed through Renner's arm,
entering his side, and wounding him seri-
ously. He was just in the act of firing
at bne bnieI. Upon SnooIlng beDner tne
thief took Ryan's buggy and drove
at breakneck rate up the street and
out into the country hotly pursued by the
officers. He jumped from the buggy, and,
making 1t u shield, drew still another revol-
yer and defied arrest. The man had the ad-
vantage and held it up to dark. The sheriff
summoned posse of so men, but before
they arrived Bradley had made his escape to
the woods and has not yet been arrested.
The sheriff and posse are securing the
country for him.
The last adyices are that they have cor
nered him near Doubts Switch, this county,
1t is believed that he will sacrifice his life
rather than be taken.

against the smaller States.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, said that
he had offered an amendment fixing
the number of representation at BOT,
based upon the Seaton measure, but
upon sober consideration he had
come to the conclusion that he could
not fortify his own number, 307, or
any other number under that system.
1t would do gross injustice at any
number, and he would, at the proper
time, move to racommit the bill, with
instructions to report back the bill
basing representation upon the old
method The new method plugged
up the little end and left the big end
open.
After several other gentlemen had
spoken the matter went over.
On motion of Mr.. Valentine, of
Nebraska, Senate amendment was
cencurred in the House bill appro-
p1iating $4,000 for packing, trans
porting and arranging mineral spec
linens exhibited at the Atlanta expo
sltion and presented to the United
States to be placed in the National
museum. House adjourned.

In its financial article, of Wednes-
day morning, the New York Tribune
says;
Among State bonds large bust
ness was done in Tennessee SIS, and
at irregular prices. After an ad-
vance to rs, the price suddanly drop
ped to 694, and finally closed
at 718' The large sales of the bonds
created the impression that unfavor-
blenews had been received concerning
the action of the courts of Tennes
see, and that feeling aided the decline
after it had begun. We are unable,
however, to leorn that any intima-
tons of an unfavorable character
had been received from Tennessee,
and it seems probable that the large
sales were made for account of fore
elgn holders of the bonds.
More than half million in Tens
nessee bonds changed hands in New
York, Tuesday.

WHO Is HE

New York Sun

New York Sun.
A prominent resident of Knoxville, Tenn,
visited New York in August last AS he
was walking IN the street one afternoon he
was accosted famiEarly by a stranger, who
called HIM by wrong name. The Knox
vile man set the stranger right, mention
ing to him incidentally what his real name
was, whereupon the stranger gracefully
apologized and departed. Next day the
hnoxvIlle man was again greeted In the
street by stranger, who called his name
accurately, and who by his conversation ap-
peared to be wholly familiar with Knox
vile. The upshot of the last meeting was
that the citizen from Tennessee fell vic
tim to the ''bunco" men, and that in a
quiet room they feeced him of $50 in cash,
and forced him. to sign checks to the
amount of 81, $50. He laid his case before
the police, and returned home. The po-
lice failed to discover the swindlers. In due
course of time the checks were presented
for aaylnent, but orders had been given not
to pay them, and they were protested
More was heard of them later through the
following letter addressed to the Knoxville
man:
JOHN E. HAYES, ATTORNEY AND CeUNsELoRl
AT LAW, 81 CHAMBERS ST., Room Is
NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 1882.
Mr--Knoxville.
DEAR SIR: A client of mine, and a very
credulous man, assure you, upon false
representations made to him, has taken in a
business way, your checks amounting to
ST. ,25Q. Now comes the question. How
shall we get rid of them? They were made
in New York, Aug. S, 1881. They were, as
see, sent to Knoxville for collection, but
were returned protested. want to dispose
t<1G& I1f1 H.
of action, my correspondent at Knoxville
advising this course. You can have both of
your checks upon the payment of $780,
This is fair proposition, and hope it will
meet your approval. My client, young
clothier here, has been badly stuck, and is
willing to dispose of them for that sum.
Let me hear from you about it.
Very respectfully,
JOHN e. HAYES.
The office indicated in the above letter is
the Office of Mr.. S. Albert Mincho, young
lawyer. He said yesterday Mr.. Hayes had
been in the same class with him at the
Columbia Law School. and that he had been
in the habit of writing letters in the Office
He came in only occasionally, Mr.. Mincho
said, and had not been in for three days
The checks, Mr.. Mincho said, bore the en-
dorsement of Byron A. Cohen, a lawyer and
an agent for the New York Life Insurance
Company. They were deposited in the
Central National Bank OF New York, and re-
turned protested. Mr.. Mincho says that he
does not know who Mr.. Hayes's clients
were that gave him the checks to collect.
The Knoxville man has expressed his
readiness to come up and prosecute the men
who feeced him. He declares that he will
not pay the checks or compromise for them
He has engaged agents in this city TO look
into the status of any lawyers who have
been connected with the collection of the
checks,
