oranges IS By weight. The heaviest are
the best, because they have the thinnesv

NEARLY A HOMICIDE.
A Negro stabs a White Man and Runs.
Finally Arrested.

Yesterday afternoon Emmett Branzell
a young white man, and Joseph Wool
bridge, a negro, had some words and q
difficulty. Emmett reported the fact TO
his father, and together, about 4:30
O'Clock, the two saw Woodbridge at the
corner of Seventeenth and Price streets
two squares beyond the grain elevator
The father asked the negro why he did
not report the boy to him, as he would
have corrected him for any misconduct
While the father and the negro were
talking the son came up and began to
str Ike the negro with his fist, whereupOn
the negro cut at him with a long -bladed
knife, and, missing his aim, cut again,
the blade this time entering the abdomen
Of the young man below the ribs, causing
the intestines 10 proirude.
IL was two hours before a physician
could be obtained, the last attempt being
the city ambulance, which promptly
arrived. The physician in charge re-
placed the intestines which had become
inhsmcd. Tie wounded boy at o'clock
this morning was In a critical condition
After the cutting Woodbridge ran and
was pursued up over the hills, through
Howard's Grove. and from there down
to the dock where the steamer Norwood
lands. Here he hid, and for four hours
defed the researches of the police who
hunted under the wharf with lanterns
till $50 Finally they found him, and
he climbing through hole started again
on a run, with Officer lIoldcraft
after him. Turning a sharp angle near the
gas works Holdcraft went full bodied
into Gillie's creek, emerging therefrom
covered with tar, but he got his man.
The police who took part in this four
hours race and hunt were Sergeants
Howard, Whtlock, Matthews and Police
men J. VI Brown, K f. Brown, Hold
craft, Kerse, Parkinson, and Curle.
