DETECTIVES HAD RUN
Shot Down Their Man Before
 They Captured Him.

| to ever participated in took place in Brooklyn this morning. endip., short ly after Billy" Keegan had sent a bullet through the leg of Stanley Musayage, who, accused of theft was endeavoring to escape He led the detectives merry chase and would not have stopped, be .ause of the bull let had not Keegan finally cornered him, When Musavagc saw that, not withstantiing his efforts 10 escape, he was about 10 be made q prisoner, lka put up vigorous fight, and was not subdued until the band.ufls were placed upon his wrists
 It was just about F o'clock when he landed ir the po.iec station. where ms wounds were dressed by Dr Mo- "larty. In addition to the wound in his right leg. above the kaee. where me bullet went clean through, the prisoner had a tad scalp wound. caused by striking his head against stone when he fell. Musavage, who had been working in the wire de- partment of the Waterbury Brass company, but lately empioyed in Benedict X Burnham's was suspected or stealing tools from the former factory. This mornin" the detectives went to Benedict X Burnham's fac tory and after getting the prisoner, told him to take them to his home in order that they might investigate, to md whether the accused had any of the missing tools Ill his house.
 Musavage, who is lot powerful appearing fellow, said he resided at 64 John st.Et and started to lead the officers to that place. But he brought them along John street far past No 64 and the detectives began to smell rat. They were almost up to Riverside cemetery, when they compelled him to retrace his steps and as they did sO he broke away and started on the hair-raising run.
 Before the detectives realized it. he was more than fifty feet away. but they without any delay started in pursuit. The prisoner who was fleet footed skipped across by the Barnard school and went over all kinds of Ob- j(uctiOnl H event in one yard and out with the officers almost on his heels.
 As ne was steering for Drayer av- enue COlesanto, who was nearest the runaway. in ortlcr to scare the Po- lander pulled out his revolver and fired a couple of shots close to the ground, but they had not the desired eeffct as the fugitive continueI 10 hasten along.
 Meanwhile Keegan. who bv tak'rg a short cut had almost closed on the prisoner, pulled out his 21 shooter and pulled the trigger twice. The first ball went low. but not the second Keegan saw that it was useless to try to frighten the fellow and he knew that his second ball had coac home. for savage slowed up little. shortly after the second went from Keegan's gun.
 But such thing as a bullet did not have any effect upon Musavage apparently for he did not stop more tlaG moment and was fleeing again as fast as his legs would carry him.
 As he was an excellent runner he kept the same distance ahead of the pursliers the greater part of the time. but although Keegan by taking another short cut headed the prisoner off. With Colesanto pressing on from the rear and Keegan ahead to cut on further escape. Musavage saw that he had a slim chance of escaping the detectives and waited the arrival of Keegan and Colesanto. It was then that tlie real rough and tumble fight took place.
 Without waiting to size lip his op- ponents he commenced hostilities. swinging his husky arins.he endeavor- ed to rut to sleep the officers. They rolled over in the dirt for few mo- Iuents. but the strong man was at length worstcd and the grippers were placed on his wrists and one of the most sensational chascs in many years ended.
 Musayage was once more directed to lead the officers to his home and without any more fuss about it brought them to H John street. where after breaking open n trunk. the tools which have been missing from the Brass concern were found.
 Mllsarage was next hustled to a signal box and short time later he was taking ride to Harrison alley.
 Upon examination by Dr Morlarty. it was seen that the bullet. which had taken effect had gone clean through the leg. It did not hit directly in the back. but striking sidewise took a '''a"pnal course. coming ont directly fin front. The doctor stated that the wound was not serious unless blooil poison should set in The wound .,a the head was 2 bad one and after 1t was dressed. the prisoners head was mass of bandages. Musavage seemed very much unconcerned at the station and did not utter sound during the whole proceedings.
 Keegan said that it was one of the longest runs that has been in long time and declared Musavage was possessed with the strength of two ordinary men.
 The prisoner was taken to the Rrooksjde home to await trial
