Wright, the private detective who ran to earth and delivered to the police au- thorities of San Francisco “Shy Red,” wanted on suspicion of being implicated in the Webber murder which occurred in acramento sceveral months ago, had a nurrow escape from death to-night at the hands of a party of “Shy Red’s’ friends in aloon in the tenderloin district of this city er since “Shy Red’s” apprehension Wright has been engaged in collecting evi- dence in the case, and for several days past has been frequenting the saloons of L | street in search of a certain party needed as a witness. This evening while seated in “Googy” Welch’s saloon he claims that a colored rough known as Ed Emerson, alias “Smoky,”” and a man named Daven- port approached him and asked what his business was. The negro accused him of | being a stool pigeon and a detective in dis- guise and struck him. Davenport struck | him at the same time. Wright sprang from his chair and started | toward the back room of the saloon, hop- ing to escape by a back entrance. The negro, so he claimed, drew a knife and Davenport struck at him. Grasping a wrung of the chair, Wright drew his pistol and warned them to keep away. At this juncture the rest of the crowd sprang at him, took the pistol from him and brutally beat and kicked him. Event- ually Wright managed to effect his escape, and notified the police guthorities. Chief of Police Drew accompanied him in person to the saloon and investigated the affair, and the police are in search of | all participants. Officers Hayes and Fisher captured “‘Smoky” and locked him in the City Prison. Officer Rutherford is hot on the trail of Davenport and will probably capture his man within a short time. This assault upon Wright by known friends of “‘Shy Red”’ is deemed by the po- lice evidence that the suspect knows more of the case than he is willing to admit, and that the gang fears that Detective Wright possesses damaging evidence against him and wish to either make away with him or frighten him into abandoning the case.

His Visit Concerns New Zealand’'s Sub= sidy to the Steamship Line. VANCOUVER, B. C., June 16.—Hon. J. G. Ward, Treasurer and Postmaster-Gen- eral of New Zealand, passed through the city to-day enroute home, leaving on the steamer Warrimoo. He has been to Lon- don for the purpose of floating a loan of $ 000 for the assistance of settlers on Government lands. His visit to Canada was for the purpose of interviewing the Government regarding the subsidy to the steamship line and cable. Concerning the latter matter, Ward says he had an interview with Sir Adoiph Caron, Postmaster-General, and arrange- ments were practically completed, though the amount of subsidy New Zealand is AT | to pay the steamship company will not be | disclosed till his return there. Regarding the cable, Ward says the delay of the Im- perial Government is the only impedi- | ment. The Earl of Jersey’s report on the matter has been referred to a special com- | mittee, and till their report is received, the Government will not take action, although, as the colonies nearly all favor the scheme, and the Earl of Jersey’s report is also favorable, it is thought ‘the Imperial Gov- | ernment will not throw cold water on the scheme.

Although by many believed to be in- curable, there is the evidence of hun- dreds of living witnesses to the fact that, in all its earlier stages, consumption isa curable disease. Not every case, buta large percentage of cases, and we believe, Jully9S per cent.are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden ‘Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with co- pious expectoration (including tubercu- lar matter), great loss of flesh and ex- treme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by ‘‘Gold- en Medical Discovery” were genuine cases of that dread and fatal discase? You need not take our word forit. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most ex- perienced home physicians, who have 10 interest whatever in misrepresenting them, and who were often strongly prej- udiced and advised against a trial of ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery,’’ but who have been forced to confess that it sur- passes, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy ‘‘ emulsions” and mix- tures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to benefit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the Thypopliosphites had also been faithfully tried in vain. The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will be mailed to your ad- dress for six cents in stamps.
