Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 28.—A des-
perate man fought his way clear df
two city detectives here Sunday, and
after a thrilling chase made good his
escape. About 10:30 Sqnday morn-
ing a raw-boned man about five feet
ten Inches hight, with florid complex-
ion, offered the bill in payment of a
small purchase mado In a store house
on the public square. Difficulty in
making the change caused the sales-
man to closely notice the bill, which
proved to be on a Montana bank.
The police were quietly notified, the
clerk meanwhile delaying the matter
of change.
Detectives Dwer and Dickens were
soon on hand, and, approaching the
man, demanded his name.
"Ferguson,” was the reply, and aft-
er another question or two Detective
Dwer Informed the man that he was
under arrest. Quick as a flash Fergu-
son had a revolver In each hand and
started for the door. A hand to hand
fight ensued, both officers grappling
with the stranger, who proved more
than a match for them. Using his
pistols as clubs he fought his way to
the door and fled down the street.
A passing ice wagon caught his at-
tention and the three negro occupants
were soon out of his way. Then, at a
Are engine clip, the wagon was head-
ed across the Cumberland river bridge
Into East Nashville, a fusillade of shots

Out Woodland street went the fly-
ing team, but a sudden turn into First
street brought ft to grief. One of the
horses fell and broke his leg, but the
fugitive was not to be delayed. Run-

an old negro man who was driving by
In a buggy and the flight was con-
tinned.
Out into the commons he sped. Once
the buggy was overturned, but was
quickly righted. Finally the tired
horse was abandoned, and after a dive
into Shelby park on foot, the supposed
bandit secured another horse hitched
at a point near the park. Then after
a sensational ride the horse was left
and the flight continued on foot Fur-
ther out pursuers found two of their
bloodhounds shot to death, a short dis-
tance apart, and after that all trace of
the man was lost.

Georgetown, Ky., Oct. 28.—Ex-Secre-
tary of State Caleb Powers was Sat-
urday again convicted as accessory be-
fore the fact to the murder of Gov.
Wm. Goebel In January, 1900, and the
second time sentenced to imprison-
ment for life.
The present term expired Saturday
night. Arguments were limited so
that the case went to the jury at 2
o’clock in the afternoon, and a verdict
of guilty soon followed. Motion for
new trial was overruled.
Powers sat pale and motionless
when the verdict was announced by
Foreman B. S. Calvert and his old
schoolmate. Opposite Powers, on the
.other side of the courtroom, with the
attorneys, sat Arthur Goebel, brother
of the late Gov. Goebel, his eyes fixed
on the prisoner. The attorneys of
Powers shook his hands, expressing
' aloud their renewed belief in his inno-
cence. Women crowded around Pow-
ers, embracing and kissing him And
tears ware shed.
