Hanry Brown. Evertt'a colored centenarian, died . Saturday nl&it at the age of 100 year and t months. Among the surviv ing relatives is his wife, aged 90. Both were slaves, and they were married soon after belnir liberated by President .Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. . Mr.v Brown ws one of Everett s plo- BW9. was-borniinthft plants tlpn of William Brown, Esq., near Louisville, Ky.. where he lived until about $0 yeare of ga. After the death of his first master he was -sold 27 times. At the first sale the bidding was spirited, be cause he was in the prime of life and a , man ot tinueually fine physique, and the heirs of bis old master received $11,150 for him. This was considered an unusu- "sllv high prlct for male slaves. Th )wt time- lie was sold the price was 1360..- His most serious Ulness up to about four months ago was a mild case of measles, contracted when a child. The old ulave served unwillingly with the pick and shovel brigade of thecon federate army, but after he was freed he enlisted in the Union army, where he remained two years. He claimed ac quaintance with President Lincoln and was proud of his only souvenir of the rebellion a prominent scar -over his right eye, which was made by a piece of rebel shell. Mr. Brown "bad not the advantage of an education, as the old slave owners would not permit such lux uries, but this defect was hardlv notice able because of the old man's 'brilliant mentality and his excellent command of language.

Chun, the- Korean who was Jointly acoused with In Whan Chang of the murder of Durham Whits Stevens last March, has not been seen for four months and the district attorney's office has just discovered that be is a fugitive. Chun and Chang participated in the assault on the diplomat at ths Ferry building last spring and both were examined in the police court. Chang, it was proved in the preliminary hear ing, fired the fatal bullet, while Chun struck SteVens and In the melee re ceived a- stray bullet from Chang's weapon, Chang was bound ever to the superior court, and his trial has Just commenced. 1 Chun, after his hearinr had been fre quently postponed before Judge Caba- nies, was reieasea on nis own recog nisance last July. It was explained bv the ajstrlct 'attorney's office at. that time that the case against him was hard to prove and more time was there fore needed. No particular effort was made to keep watch on the Korean and his very existence had been forgotten In the press of other matters. Now, when the trial of Chang has commenced. Chun has been remembered, but he cannot be found. He Is an im portant witness and the authorities are puzzled over his disappearance. Seven Jurors were chosen In th trial of Chang yesterday and It Is predicted that unless unforeseen circumstances intervene the box will be filled by nightfall. The Korean is being defend ed by Attorneys John J. Barrett and Nathan Coghlan. DETECTIVES (Continued From Page One.) than that of "stalls" on the outside of the building. One theory that Is being worked out Is that the trio separated, one or more taking tho train at Oregon city, south bound, and probably leaving It at a point down the line. The railroad agents are not sure but the report is that a man carrying a handbag was seen to board the California train at Oregon City when It slowed tip there at a few minutes- past 8 o'clock on the night of the robbery. . The bold robbery Monday evening of the East Side bank by a gang of three holdup men promises to add another to the list ot unsolved criminal mysteries of Portland. The man hunters who are working on the rase are absolutely at sea. None of them has even bn able to evolve a theory as ret, fegarding the identity of the highwaymen or the di rection in which they took their flight. All that Is known is that the three man entered the bank at 5:45. looted it of 114.745.90 after terrorizing President Newhall and his son Roirer with revoi vers, left the bank and ran east on East Washington street to East Sixth and across to East Alder, then across lots to East Seventh, and entered a waiting rig in whlcb thev drove to East inirty first and Division. Here the trail Is lost and there is not even a clue left to follow. tone Suspect Released. One man who was Jingling more money than the officer thought he ought to have was taken to the police station late yesterday afternoon, but there was nothing to indicate that he had any complicity in the robbery, and he was released without being booked Chief Oritzmacher received a message from Spokane yesterday saying that three men had been arrested there and would be held subject to the order of the Portland authorities, but it was later found that the men were only laborers who could give a good account of themselves, and they were released. The detectives confess themselves baffled and say that they have abso lutely no clues left to follow. "The af fair is simply a blank so far as we are concerned," said Detective Tennant this morning. "We don't know a thing more about the robbery than we did yesterday." . , 1 The same condition prevails at Athe sheriffs orflce. "We haven't a tiling new on the case." said Sheriff 8tevens this morning. "Besides, the police are handling this esse. They have-taken change of it and have sent out all the circular and letters." Itl r;-.. ct tiirzt, that the three men may have left the city and be now Kgfe In hiding hundreds of miles an ay. But It Is more probable that they are still In Portland, laughing at the excited search and realising that they are a good deal safer here where they are comparatively hidden and buried among thousands of other peo ple who do not differ greatly in appear ance from themselves than they would be traveling among strangers with the police of every town tney passed through on the lookout for them and ready to arrest any man who could not give a good account or mmseir. From the descriptions of the three men, none of them seems to be In any wav remarkable In appearance. None la very tall and none very short. Their faces are more or less commonplace, and. dressed In ordinary clothes, they are not men who would attract a glance of interest in a crowa. it is not at all unlikely that they are walking the streets of Portland today with their loot rafely hidden in some place under the very noses or tnousanas oi peacerul clt-isens. In any case, it la evident that they nau tneir escape careruuy planned out before they robbed the bank, and knew exactly what they were going to do and where they were going to hide. The suddenness and completeness of their disappearance within a very short time after the holdup Indicate this be yond question.
