No. 1 Hamilton avenue. They knew
that the Leek family were absent and
asked the negroes to explain their pres
ence on the premises..
The negroes claimed that they had
been sent there to beat some carpets, but
this explanation did not disarm their
suspicion. Accordingly the women sent
word to the Mounted District Police Sta
tion and Policeman James Harrison, who
was only a short distance away, was dis
patched to the scene.
Harrison took up the chase, being direct
ed to the route taken by the negroes. He
Jumped Into a wagon and was driven to
Page boulevard, where he Jumped oft and
pursued them on foot. He did not fire any
shots, but the fact that the driver waa
beating his horse and urging it on at
tracted a crowd Into the chase.
Policeman Punshon of the Mounted Dis
trict waa standing on the front platform
of a Page avenue car and was attracted
by the mob following the negroes. He
urged the motorman to throw on the pow
er and chased the fugitives for several
blocks.
NEGROES SHOW FIGHT.
Hiding behind the motorman. Punshon
was able to overtake them before they
were aware that he was near. At Clara
avenue he Jumped from the car and
stopped the negroes. Both showed fight
and a hand-to-hand struggle ensued.
One of the negroes, who gave his name
as Robert Brown of No. 3S Montrose
avenue, picked up a stone, while his com-
E anion. Ike Soddrldge. of No. 22 South
Iwlng avenue, engaged the policeman.
Punshon drew his revolver and attempt
ed to shoot Brown, but as the weapon
was discharged Soddrldge struck it with
his hand, and that bullet wont wild- Be
fore Punshon was able tn Are again Sod
drldge had hut linger behind the trigger
of the weapon and was struggling for pos
session ot tne revolver.
Soddrldge burled his teeth tn Punshon 'a
right hand, but the policeman held to
his weanon. Soddrldge then fell to the
ground and said be had been shot.
Itellevtng that he natl mortally wounaeti
Soddrldge. Punshon turned his attention
to Brown, who was standing In the cutter.
After grappling with him for a short
time. Punshon brought the weapon down
on Brown's head, inflicting a scalp wound.
While Punshon and Brown were strug
gling In the gutter Soddrldge ran away.
The policeman held to his prisoner.

A report that a Southern ginning asso

BULXJ8H NEW ORLEANS MARKET
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Orleans. Aug. i-In Its summary
of the cotton situation the Times-Democrat
will say to-morrow:
"Yesterday's cotton market responded
to an Increase in bullish sentiment In the
face of a poor Liverpool, and a somewhat
general belief that the trade as a whole
should not acct.pt the bureau report this
morning without Important reservations,
no matter what the showing should pan
cut to be. The day'a most encouraging
feature from the viewpoint of the high
price man was the rather unexpected but
effective opposition that developed in the
ranks of spot holders to a further decline
in the value of the actual stuff. With
spots again on the upgrade, renewed ac
tivity in the long side of the account
should be due In short order, unless, of
course, a bearish showing by the bureau
should be taken seriously.
-Just now. however, the talent is pin
ning faith to private crop reports to a
greater extent than for a long while, and
the burden of the bulletins has been pessi
mistic throughout the season thus far.
The big question before the talent is
how much of the old surplus of American
cotton will be left at the end or next sea
son, rather than how short will the cur
rent crop prove. On the answer depends
absolutely the ability of the bears to hold
in check a runaway 'market should one
develop. In the fsce of short crop proba
bilities, the threat from the spinner to
delay purchases of the actual stuff for
three months, and the premature demon
stration of the likelihood or a big strike
at Lancashiro should not strike terror to
the hearts or the farmer, for the latter
now knows, or should know. Just what
sort of a preposition he Is up against.
Clearw the advantage this season favors
the tiller of the soil, who lias learned
through actual experiences the value or
Intelligent methods or marketing his crop,
practical demonstration being far less
easily forgotten than U theoretical advice.
"Hut the spinner Is by no means de
fenseless, for the farmer, under the spur
of the speculator, may yet overplay his
Sart and lose much of the good he might
ave gained.
"Bullish leadership was lacking vester
day. though there as evidence or buying
for the account of some New York's lead
ing bulls on the theory that the bureau
report would confirm pessimistic crop
views to a very large extent: that while a
slight improvement may possibly bo in
dicated the previous condition of the crop
was so low that such Improvement can
hardly have been sufficient to have
brought about bearish conditions In the
fields,
"On the other hand, bears appeared to
bank most strongly on .the neutral effect
the Iiureau to expected to have on the
distrustful talent. Meanwhile, 'shorts-
who feared a bolt from the blue evened
up their accounts to a more liberal extent
than did 'longs' and the result waa a 10
polnt gain on the active options. Ilusi
necw was not on a big scale, for there
was very little Initial buving and selling
