CHASED A HIGHWAYMAN
Officer Johnson Saves Edward Barry
From Assault and Robbery.

Patrolman Frank Johnson OF the knight
street station had an exciting chase after a
burly colored man Sunday morning.
About 80 o'clock Sunday morning Ed ward
Barry, who lives on G street, was aroused by
some one IN the tho house and asked to 90 on
to Broad steet for a physician, which no did.
Barry was gone longer than was expected,
and his older brother became somewhat
anxious, so went out on to the street TO look
him up. AS he stepped on the first tread Of
the stairs which leads to tho street he saw his
brother coming. and at the same time he saw
large colored man step out FROM behind a
tree and cross the street The senior Barry
saw the colorei man pull what he supposed
was razor from his hip pocket and then
make a rush for Edward.
Mr.. Barry shouted to the colored man and
told him not to attack his brother, but the
assailant intimated that he would cut both of
them. E@
Edward did not realize his danger until he
heard his brother shout, and then he started
on the run for his home, with the colored man
CLOSE behind with an open razor In his hand.
As good fortune would have IL. Patrolman
Johnson heard the shout and hurried from
Lester street to the scene, and as he came on
TO street the colored man saw him and ran
away, going over fence and got on to Bridg
ham street, with the officer close behind. The
colored man ran down Cranston street 10
Dodge and Westminster and then on to Bridg-
ham street, and in turning the last corner
the officer lost sight Of him.
When Patrolman Johnson was at tho corner
of Dodge and Cranston street he raped the
sidewalk with his club, hoping that the pa
trolman on Westminster street would capture
the man, put the wind was in the wrong di-
rectiop. HIS call for help was heard at the
Knight street station, however, and Lieu
tenant Rankin sent out n squad Of men to as
sist Johnson. They searched the vicinity
very carefully, but did not succeed in finding
their man.
The colored man was stranger TO the
Barrys and the patrol.lan, but all got good
&C icription of him. II is supposed that rob-
berry was the mans intontion.

NOT in THE TRUST.
Story That II Is Ruying Up Stock in
Sugar Companies Doubted.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 16.-Stock-
holders of the Hawaiian Sugar Company.
resident here. doubt the truth of the report
that the sugar trust is buying that stock,
or tho stock of tho Hutchinson sugar
plantations, though some OF them heard
such a report several days ago. The price
of tho stock. they say. has been going UP,
put not beyopd its real value.
The rise in tho price of sugar and the
excellent prospects for the crop have led
the directors to increase the mcnthly
dividend from e5 cents share of $50 to 30
cents n share, with probability Of an
other increaso. These conditions, aud not
any purchase of tho stock by the trust
arc believed by tho stockholders here to
bo both the justification aud reason for
the advance in the price from about $50 a
share To $3l. The price OF sugar has ad-
yanced half n cent n pound.
Much tho same conditions prevail as TO
the Hutchinson stock. Henry w. Hyman,
of Lyman Bros, large stockholders In the
Hawaii, said he heard about n week ago
that tho trust was buying tho stock, but
had seen nothing To tooufrm the report
Annexation will probably increase the
value Of tie stock, be said, as IL will give
greater prominence 20 value. IL will do
away with the tariff question, which has
always been an uncertain and menacing K
factor.

Owens, deputy sheriff from Perry
county, had warrant for Harrison Kerr,
negro charged with murder. When he
attempted TO make the arrest at Palarin,
Kerr opened fire on the officer.
The first shot struck Owens In the
groin, tho bullet striking silver in the
trousers pocket and inflictina serious
wound. The money in Owens pocket
probably saved his life.
Andry and Clarke went to Owens as
sistance. and five or six negroes joined In
with Kerr. A pitcnod battle followed. In
which over % shots were fired.
Whom the shooting was over, Andry and
Peters lay dead. Clarke had staggered
into his Office. and fallen upon the floor.
Owens was lying in ditch near the sta

should Kerr's associates be captured they
will never come to trial.

that the purchases of out.oftown buyers
would amount to S25 900, 900 during tine
