that he is likely to die. The boy is Waite,
Bussey. He is six years old and son of Mr.
Bussey. q plumber. who resides at No. 7o6 n
| street northwest.
The brick was not thrown at the boy, but was
| intended for young colored man named Johr
Elliott, with whom Green had had quarrel.
Green was at work yesterday and he stopped
| his team to settle some petty difference that
| existed between Elliott and himself. The quar-
| rel lasted some minutes and John thought he
would end the quarrel by striking Elliott with
| the piece of brick.
Walter Bussey, an exceedingly bright child,
was playing near there at the time. and the
PRICK struck him on the head, infiicting terri
BILE fracture of the skull
The injured boy was taken over to Duffy's
drug store where the wound on his head was
dressed, and later in the day he was taken to
the Children's Hospital by his father.
DR.. Parke Young attended the boy and thinks
that the Chances are against his recovery.
Policeman Heller appeared upon the scene
shortly after the blow was inflicted and he al
once went in pursuit Of Green, whom he
learned had recently served three months in

The officer went to Green's house and learned
that the fugitive would probably return home
about o'clock.
He Swallowed" the house until that hour
when in walked Green and another negro
named Fletcher.
When the officer reached the house Green
was given the tip" and he managed to get
out OF the house and escape.
The officer followed him and Fletcher as far

to get the use of carriage belonging to a
United States Senator.
In this handsome vehicle the officer was
driven through alleys and vacant lots, and
finally Green jumped q high fence. got into q
yard, went through house and escaped.
The pursuit of Fletcher was not abandoned,
and through the assistance of a man on BIZ
cycle he was captured and locked up on a charge
OF aiding Green to escape. Last night Officer
Heller renewed his efforts to secure Green and
Officer Carson went with him. but they were
unsuccessful. Several places were searched,
but Green was not found.
This morning the injured boy was still alive,
although he was in critical condition.

IL was a very poor sort of a game that the
Senators put up yesterday against the visitors
from ST. Louis, and that they lost by the score
of IL to 2 was no wonder. They muffed and
fumbled and threw badly, and on top of all
they could not bat, and altogether presented a
most woeful spectacle. Pitcher Miller was
given trial in the box and did badly. He was
Wild and although he was not hit with any de-
gree of frequency, the hits were hard and long
and were made after men had been sent to
bases on balls Miller's arm was uncertain and
he kept Mcclure guessing all the time. The
opposing battery was McGill and Cook. and
they we're very strong. Nine Washington
players struck out
The game started out as if the visitors and
not the home players were going to play yellow
ball. and Washington scored one run on three
hits by Dowd. Slattery and Mctiuire while
ONeill made an error. In the second Comis-
key and Lyons made errors and Murphy made
n scratch hit 10 third. but no one scored, as
Hoy made a phenomenal catch Of Mcclure S
