EX-SLAVE DIES,

' Everett. Wash., Dec t. 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

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.

WITNESS CHUN
WISHED
1
Conspirator With the Ko
rean Who Shot Durham
WThite Stevens.
(United Press Leaaed Wire.)
San Francisco, Deo. 9. M. W. 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

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.
