In Fear Of Being Lynched,
Fugitive PlnngeS Into
River.
HAD SLASHED MOTORMAN
Angry Because Car Stopped,
Unknown in Brooklyn, Uses
Dagger and When Pursued
Jumps Into Water and Is
Believed to Be Drowned.

NEW YORK. July ga mob today
rushed the man they would lynch to his
death by making him leap from a pier
into the water. where he was drowned.
Twice the man passed the Hamilton
avenue police station, Brooklyn, but
he brandished the long dagger with
which he had laid open the face of a
motorman and no policeman dared to
try to stop him.
The trolley car, of which John Ilacis-
man was motorman, got out of order
In Hamilton avenue, and he was on the
ground at the side of the car, trying to
make repairs, when one passenger. q
small, swarthy man, apparently a for
eigner, drew a dirk and slashed the
motorman's face.
In a moment a crowd of angry citi-
zens were chasing the man up Hamii-
ton avenue. The mob increased in
numbers, and when two blocks had
been passed the slasher stopped. and
as the men came up he brandished his
knife and dived through the crowd
The people fell back for him to pass
through, and then the mob continued
In pursuit of the fleeing man.
In going back the man and his pur-
suers again passed the Hamilton ave~z
nue. station, and this time two police
men came out and Joined in the chase
The man ran down to the India Brew-l
cry pier and disappeared in the doclz
building.
But there the police hesitated Wl1eu
II was believed they co1ld have caught
tho alasher. Just when the angry crowd
was ready to enter the pier and search
for the fugitive a splash in the water
was heard, and 1t was apparent that
the man with the dagger jumped over
board.
A search of the pier and the SUR
rounding waters was then made by the
citizens ard the police, and as the man
could not be found 1t was believed he
had been rushed to his death.
Had the crowd caught him their
anger was such that he probably would
have been lynehed. He was aware
of this and chose drowning to death
at the end of a rope.
The police were unable to establish
his identity. 1t was believed that he
lived on Columbus street and that he
was employed at Coney Island or Bath
Beach.
An ambulance surgeon dressed the
big wound in Motorman Blacknan's
face and sent him to his home. He
said he had never seen his assailant
before and knew of no reason why he
should have been attacked.

SPORT ON THE MARSH
THE PLACES TO FIND THE REED BIRD
AND ORTOLAN

pie tricks that go toward making a sue
cess or a failure Of q days outing.
On the Patuxent marshes ortolan are
very plentiful Yachts come down with
cunning parties from Baltimore. Phila-
delphia, and New York, and IL is no un-
common thing for several thousand birds
to be killed on a tide. and with any de-
cent kind of a tide a single gunner
usually gets from 70 10 200
Ortolan are peculiar in their distribu-
ton on a marsh, and with countless
myriads present one can push some time
without seeing one while others but a
short distance away are shooting as fast
as they can cram shells into their guns
then suddenly you run into them When
the shooting gets too hot they very often
forsake the marsh entirely and take TO
the shore, and a marsh that but short
time since was alive with birds Will be
found absolutely barren. The wise man
viii remember this. and If the tide Is
right will skirt the shore edge at dusk.
The birds will be working out onto
the marsh for the nights feeding, and
viii flush faster than he can count them.
Scattered here and there on the marsh
are beds OF the so-caIled butter weeds,
and these as a rule are veritable hot
beds. Being thick, they afford good shell
ter and I have seen a man shoot for
twenty minutes and not move his boat as
many feet Again, a piece Of marsh ut
terly barren of birds to-day will be alive
with them tomorrow, and vice versa,
and that. too. on grounds not a thousand
yards apart. The pushers are firmly con-
WINGED that they come up out Of the mud.
If you don't believe it, ask them.
There Is always the excitement Of IN
certainty of a days hUnt-of what may
be-and this Is equally true OF a day on
the marsh. There are always a number
of the big king ortolan present. and one
can never tell when a shot al one Of
these monster rails will offer II you
get one he Is as big as half a dozen ordi-
nary rail- and the killing OF him IS an
event to date from. Happy Is the man
who gets one, and thrice happy was the
man who had three as the result Of an
afternoons cunning at -Four Mile Run
last week
Lastly. when your days sport is over
tie your reed birds in one bunch, your
ortOlan in another. and on top place your
big king ortolan-if you have One-where
everybody can see him. and go home
and tell your friends that you have had
the best time ever.
