HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Alfred Dawson, Colored, Accused Of
Highway Robbery.

Alfred Dawson, colored, who gave his
| address Fredericksburg, Va, was ar
raigned for a preliminary hearing before
Judge Kimball in the Police Court yes
terday charged with highway robbery
and assault on Gloster Burroughs, a
delicate colored youth. Monday night, when
the two were near the Eastern branch
of the Potomac between Goth and 21st
streets. He was held in 81 900 bond for
the action of the grand jury.
Burroughs. the prosecuting witness,
testified that while he was returning
| home from the laborers' camp about s
O'Clock at night along the new public
sewer in that section of the District, ac-
companied by a thirteen-year-old colored
boy named George Williams, he was ac-
his money and then struck him over the
head a number 7of times with a large
hickory ak handle. While Burroughs lay
on the ground in semi-conscious con-
dition, Dawson, it is declared, went
through his clothes and stole between
$40 and S13, his victims semi-monthly
pay. The Williams lad ran back to the
camp. where Burroughs is employed
as cook, and gave the alarm. A num-
Der of men. headed by Eugene Taylor,
went to Burroughs rescue, and as they
neared the spot, it is alleged. they dis
covered Dawson leaning over the form
of his victim, and chase ensued.
According to witnesses Dawson ran to-
ward Benning. where his pursuers were
Joined by Mounted Policeman Tapscott of
the ninth precinct. From Benning the
chase led toward the car barn at 18th and
H streets northeast, and there number
of the men got their hands on Dawson
but he fought them off and started toward
the city. He was suddenly headed OF by
Policeman Tapscott. who placed him un-
der arrest.
At the station house the pocketbook
containing Burroughs money was found
concealed in the mans underclothing
about the waist. Burroughs appeared in
court with a badly battered head, there
being several severe abrasions on the
forehead and over the right ear.

No figures as to the attendance at the Alabama State Fair during it's eight days business were obtainable yesterday, al- though the management believes that the number will go above the 125, 900 mark. This will give an average attendance of about 15,60o which is considered ex- celent. especially as the first days at tendance was spoiled by rain.
 It was positively stated that the fair was a financial success. The manage ment considers the fair a financial suc- cess when no money is lost, as the pri- mary object of the association Is to fur nish amusement, and an exhibit for the various agricultural and mineral pro ducts of Alabama
 Yesterday afternoon the grounds were entirely deserted, save by the gigantic Vulcan, the iron man of the district, who has received much advertisement in the past, and much more recent criti- cism. Yesterday morning work of remov- ing the exhibits and packing up the shows on the Curve was still in progress. This was completed by noon, and in the afternoon General Manager Barnes closed shop till another fall.
 It is understood that there will be a meeting of the directors this week.
