ed robbery was committed at claymont
upon a Wilmington man late yesterday
afternoon there appears to- have been no
move made by the authorities to make
an attempt TO capture the highwnyman
or even to make am investigation Of the
case. The victim OF the hoidnp was John
Bradley. a driver for Robert r. Heroy-
a tea and coffee merchant at,seventh ana
King streets in this city.
According TO Bradley he was beaten
into unconsciousness by a large yellow
negro near Ciaymont and an attempt
made 10 rob him, but the iopportune ar
rival Of William Ewing a driver for tho
crew-Levich OIL Company OF Chester.
prevented tho hlghwayman from accom-
plshing his purpose.
When Ewing arrived on the scene tho
negro had fed and Bradley lay face down
unconscious In n puddle OF mud in tho
centre Of the road.
William Hell of Chester met Ewing ana
Bradley shortly afterward and he drove
the unconscious man In his buggy to the
home Of 4. d. Brown nearby, where n
physician. Dr. Cardezo. was summoned.
and the latter worked several hours with
the patient Word Of the assault was re-
ceived here and Mr.. Hcroy sent mes
songcr in carriage after Bradley. He Isl
under the carelof DR. C. M. Almond and
his condition is reported improved today.
ASKED HIM THE TIME.
Bradley had been delivering goods IN A.
light wagon and was returning homo
through Claymont when he met his as-
sailant. The latter asked him for ai

Bradley's pocket containing about $40 In
silver but the latter realizing that he was
being robbed grabbed the money bag and
held on to Il with desperation despite
the fact that,the negros was raining blows
on mis- head.
The fortunate arrival Of William Ewing
put the highwayman toinight. but by this
time Bradley hadtlapsed'into unconscious
ness.
} Beside tho $40 Bradley had IN the shot

story.
Nevertheless, the informant persisted
in his statement and declared that
there was little chance of the tip" be-
ing incorrect.
The rumor that presupposes the re-
tirement of Mr.. Cassatt also includes
the name Of his successor. Samuel Rea.

GETS
SON s FREEDOM
Her Amusing Evidence in
City Court Impressed
Deputy Judge Garrett
BLAIR'S CASE WAS POSTPONED

Elwood Price, a colored youth, was
a prisoner in City Court to-day charged
with assault and battery on Nathan
Brown, also colored. an old man. The
latter declared the defendant struck
him three times on the head with a
rubber hose filed at one end with
lead. The third blow felled the plain
tiff and in falling he says he was
struck again on the hip. Brown posi-
lively stated that he gave Price no
provocation for the assault other than
trying to protect his son who was be-
ing beaten by a crowd in which Price
figured.
A witness for Price said the latter
was first struck by Brown. who came
toward the defendant with a brick In
each hand and also armed with a can
opener.
When asked If Price had rubber
hose the witness replied that he did,
and when further asked what kind OF
hose it was, replied:
1T was a solid piece" This caused
laugh.
Prices best witness, however. was
his mother. Josephine Price, and he
probably owes~it to her that he was
dismissed. She said the hose he son
had was only as thick as her finger
and claimed that she had been hit on
the head with It several times with no
III effects.
"He only tapped de ole man seberal
time wild de hose" declared the witt
ness, and God and de angles in Hobben
