A RUN FOR LIBERTY.
GEORGE REDDING STABS A MAN
AND TRIES TO ESCAPE.
S. Johnson Receives a Dangerous Wound
in the Abdomen-An Exciting Street
Chase for His Assailant.

George Redding and S. Johnson, both
OF whom are colored, became involved
in an alteration in a saloon ON Requena
street, near Los Angeles, yesterday,
about noon, and Johnson was stabbed in
the back with an ugly-looking pocket
knife. The wounded man was taken to
the receiving hospital and treated by
DR.. Wing. His wound is about two
inches deep and an inch wide, and
probably extends into the abdominal
cavity. 1t is not known whether any
vital part has been touched, but no
serious results are expected.
Redding was arrested on Los Angeles
street and conveyed to the station, where
he was booked for assault with deadly
weapon.
As the patrol wagon passed the cor
ner of Second and Spring streets, Red
ding jumped out and made break for
liberty. A citizen standing in front of
Coulter's store tried to capture him, but
was knocked down, and the prisoner
proceeded toward Third street, followed
by two policemen and crowd of
pedestrians. Several people were knocked
down by Redding in his wild fight, but
he was finally caught by citizen in
front of the Los Angeles theater and
held till the officers arrived. Redding
made desperate fight when recaptured,
and Officer Jeffries had to use his re-
volver to induce him to come along.
The affair caused great excitement on

money, how to get 1t was the question. Finally
he wrote to the Edwin W. Joy Co., appealing to
their generosity, and it was not unheeded, the
