Man Was Not So Badly Hurt H.
Could Not Resist.
ASSISTED BY HIS FRIENDS
THREE OTHER NEGROES OVERFLOW
Erred THE DETECTIVE.
All of the ColOred Men Got Away, but
the Police and Detectives Are on
the Lookout for Them.

Detective Lancaster had shooting scrape
of his own last night In saloon on Twenty
second street, opposite the automobile works,
with the result that one negro was wounded.
but with the aid of three friends he escaped
arrest. Detective Lancaster entered the sa-
loon. which is known as a dive where the
toughest elements hang out. and seeing
suspicious looking negro crouching behind
a stove in the barroom he called him aside
and searched him. In the negro's vest
pocket he found an opened knife, which he
attempted to take. The negro jerked the
knife from the detectives hands and drew
back his arm to stab him. Lancaster was
quick to see his peril and struck his antag-
onist in the face, knocking him to the floor
with such force that the knife flew from the
colored mans hand and clattered against
the wall ten feet away. In an instant, how
ever the colored man was on his feet and
ran out of the building with the detective
close at his heels.
SHOT SEVERAL TIMES.
Lancaster ordered the fleeing negro to
STOP and. as he did not heed the demand.
drew his revolver from his pocket and in
the darkness shot until ali the cylinders of
his weapon were empty. While he was
shooting at the negro several shots were
fired at him from behind. but they all went
wide of the mark. Lancaster turned on TOGO
lumbia avenue and at the corner of Colum-
bia avenue and Nineteenth street he stum-
bled over the body of the man he had been
pursuing. The colored man was shot In
several places. but he was not so seriously
injured that he was unable to show con-
siderable fight. Lancaster took him into
custody and started with his prisoner to
nearby patrol box, intending to call the
patrol wagon, when he was attacked by
three colored men who jumped on him from
behind and threw him to the ground. His
revolver was unloaded and he was at the
mercy OF the colored toughs. but their only
aim was to secure the freedom of their
friend. With the assistance of the three
unknown negroes Lancasters prisoner
made his escape. and up to the present time
all the men have succeeded in eluding the
police. Lancaster said he believed the ne
gro to be a man badly wanted. and he is
determined to arrest him IL he has to work
day and night tc do so. A number of de-
tectives were sent out to look for the coll
ored men, but at the saloon IT was said
none of them was known.

MONUMENT MADE HER POOR.
New York Widow Forced to Bank
ruptcy by Her Husbands VIII.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Practically re-
duced to poverty because the courts insist
ed on her spending her money to build
her husband a monument, Mrs. Elizabeth
Weizen has been compelled to file a petition
in bankruptcy. Her liabilities are placed
at s42, ,947. with no available assets.
When her husband, a wealthy resident OF
the Bronx. died two years ago II was gen.
orally thought that Mrs. Weizen would be
able to live the remainder OF her life in
peace and comfort. But when his will was
opened IL was found he had decreed that a
magnificent monument be erected for him.
self and his wife in Woodlawn Cemetery,
and that he had the plans drawn.
Whether he had overestimated his wealth.
or whether he had underestimated the cost
of the monument is even now a matter
of doubt among his relatives. In either
case it was found that the estate would not
only be eaten up, but that the widows s
own resources would be taxed heavily to
carry out her husbands wishes.
Mrs. Weizen appealed to the courts for
relief, but IL decided that far as
his estate was capable of bearing the ex-
pense, his wishes must be carried out. The
monument, one of the finest in Woodlawn,
has been built, and Mrs. Wezen is now
worse than pennileSs.

employees of the Big Four Railroad who
were arrested Thursday evening by De-
tectives Bray, Holtz Captain Kinney and
Big Four Detective Grady on charges of
pilfering freight cars. were continued in
the Police Court yesterday morning, and
the men were sent to the county Jail pend

The facts of enormous steal from the
Big Four road have been unearthed by the
detectives, and many other arrests will be
made within the next day so, it is said.
From the evidence in the hands Of the de-
tective department it is known that an
organized gang of employees of the Big
Four have been robbing freight cars un-
molested for years, and the losses to the
railroad company have been very heavy.
TRAINLOADS OF GOODS.
At the Bellefontaine terminal of the Big
Four division carloads of stolen goods are
said to have been hidden by the thieving
brakemen and conductors and a wholesale
system of robbery has been conducted with
a boldness which is startling even to the
police, who used to all surprises.
Pianos, hair pins and almost every kind of
property except the rolling stock and the
tracks have been carted away by un-
scrupulous employees, and the present be-
ginning of the detectives in ferreting out
the guilty men promises to develop an
amazing array of facts.

yesterday at the home of Harry c. Ed
wards and almost every way the detectives
turn they secure new and damaging evidence
against the men. All of them admit that
they have in one way or another been

but they are all positive in their statements
that there are other employees of the road
who are as guilty as them. Names of a
great number of suspects have been secured
by the detectives and they will make ar
rests as fast as they can secure evidence
against them
