After knocking down one of two assail-

attempted in Richmond.

one of Mr.. Graham's assailantS, was ar
rested yesterday. He is Harry Post a
white man, who has been in trouble be-
fore. The police know the name of the
other man, and he will be arrested as
soon as located. Post admitted having
had trouble with Graham. but says he
(PosU was drunk at the time. and that
instead of attempting to hold up Ora
ham, he was set upon by Graham and
the other man without due cause
When the demand was made for his
money Mr.. Graham instantly showed
fight and with a quick blow knocked one
Of his assailants down. Then the other
drew the dagger and started at him. He
ran, and the man who had been Knocked
down joined in tn chase. This chase w s
finally ended. ard Mr.. Graham reported
the ma ter to the police bet ctives<W n
