was issued for his arrest Judge Low was
not flied of the fact and he sent for Attor-
ney Gallagher. What passed between
them is not known, but Gallagher offered
his services to the police IN assisting them
to find Harris.
The robbery OF Morshead & Sons safe
occurred Friday afternoon and with the
proceeds Harris got drunk. Friday night
about 9 O clock Attorney Gallagher ana
Polio man Cavanaugh saw him Keeling
along Kearny street and he was promptly
arrested on the bench warrant. He app
peared before Acting Judge Kerrigan yes
terday morning and The case was con-
tinued till Tuesday.
The Harbor police station notified the
other stations, giving description OF the
man that robbed Morshead's safe, and
that he had black eye. Yesterday morn
ing the California-street station notified
the Harbor station that Harris answered
the description and had black eye:
Detectives Egan and Silvey and Police
m an Ellis, who were working Oh the safe
robbery, took ]. w. Morshead TO the City
Prise yesterday, and he identified Harris
as the man who entered his office Friday
afternoon few minutes before the rob-
berry, and asked for pencil and piece of
paper 10 write note. 1t is supposed that
while Morshead went across the street for
few minutes Harris sneaked back and
robbed the safe.
He was also identified by Ben Levi, a
Clay-street merchant, as man who en-
tered his Office Friday afternoon and
asked for pencil and paper to write
note. but was refused. Young Levi after
ward saw him in the Office of the ]. F.
Cunningham Company, next door to
Morshead's, where he was successful in
borrowing pencil and paper.
The detectives think Harris is the man
that robbed the ticket office of the creek
route at the ferry depot. and the office of
the Sausalito ferry two or three weeks
ago. as he fully answers the description.
Every effort is being made by the police
to hnd Harris room, as they expect TO
discover the proceeds of other burg aries
on the water front.

FATAL SHOOTING SCRAPE. ..
With Negroes. In Which One of the Latter Is Killed.

Last night. at Brookside. a terrible tragedy was enacted. as the resuls of a small sized race war. The particulars are meagre. but seem to be about as follows:
 Glenn Totherow, the town marshal. went out to arrest Henry Johnson, a drunken negro. The marshal placed his man under arrest and stared off for the jail, when the negro called for assist ance Several negroes were standing around and at once made a rush for the officer, who was in great danger. Charles Silas, an extra marshal, rec ognized Totherows peril and went to his assistance. A regular battle ensued, and matters for time looked decidedly se- rious, but the officers finally triumphed.
 After the trouble was over it was found that Charles Silas. the extra marshal, who so brayely went to Totherow's aid. was shot in the right side and will die. Totherow's head was grazed by a bullet, but he was otherwise unhurt.
 John McKinzie, one of the ringleaders on the side of the negro, was shot through the head and instantly killed. Several other negroes were more or less injured. Other arraS,s have been made.
 The trouble occurred about o'clock, and the people were greatly excited over it. For while it looked as if more se- rious trouble would occur. but the bet ter judgment ofithe indignant populace prevailed.

 While Legitimate Business
 Stagnates.


 MT Editer-From day to day, I see in the Letters from the People" column of your valuable journal. communica- tions from various prominent citizens on numerous subjects of local importance, such as the public school problem, the constitutional amendment, the encour- agement of manufactories and various other matters of undoubted importance, but have failed to find a single corre- spondent who was brave enough to chal- lenge and combat the great octopus which Is growing in our midst and ab- sorbing the business which should go to the building up of the numerous small concerns and encouraging the many who are struggling along in trade. Nor do fear to. point out the offense" or deal in names" I refer to the department store system lately esta abiished on Second avenue by Drennen & Co. These people are handling every line of goods that can be sold in this or any other market and are selling at such ruinous prices that the other merchants of the city, unable to buy goodsafors cash in large quantities, cannot compete with. and in consequence are being pushed to the wall.
 I call upon the Commercial club to take action in this matter. In other states the small merchants are rising up to pro- tect their rights against the department store system, and are trying to have them legislated out of existence. What will our merchants do? would like to hear from others sss.. VERITAS.
