Lost Pair specks. , Wanted Cypress ties, MURDEROUS ASSAULT Policeman Frank George Beaten With Metal Knucks by a Desperate Negro. CAPTURED LAST MIDNIGHT. Wonaded Mao Sent to Hospital aid His Assailant Overtaken In East WIN mloitoa Came Back: to Whip Colored Restaurant Keeper. Policeman Frank George, a man of small physique but withal one of the most courageous and daring members of the Wilmington police department, is laid up at the James Walker Memo rial Hospital with severe wounds re ceived between GndX-9'clocketeri day evening in a desperate encounter which he had with Ed Smith, a bisr negro with bad character, whom he had just placed under arrest at a colored restaurant,on Dock between Front and Water streets. The negro after laying the officer out with a terrible blow on the head with metal knucks made bis escape and was not captured until 10 minutes to 13 o'clock last night, when he was found by Chief Furlong and a squad of officers in the shanty of a negro woman on Mr. Fred Klein's place in East Wilmington, two and a half miles from the city. Smith was brought back to the city and lodged in the station house until bis case can be beard by the Mayor. At 1 o'clock this morning Policeman George was resting well at the hospital and expressed great satis faction when told that his assailant had been captured. Policeman George was on duty in the vicinity of the assault and had been called to the restaurant by A. Batson, the colored proprietor, who complained that Smith had eaten a meal at the place and refused to pay for it. When the proprietor insisted on Smith's paying, he became disor derly and the officer told him to con sider himself under arrest. As the po liceman got to the door with the negro and was attempting tq place the nip pers on him, the brute, who is about twice as large as Mr. George, com menced resisting and struck the offi cer on the shoulder and finally dealt him a blow with knucks across -the head, felling him to the sidewalk. Then the negro ran down Dock, to ward Water street, before anyone could come to the policeman's aid. The officer was Unconscious on the brick sidewalk and a larsre crowd had gathered before he was revived. A message was sent to the City Hall and the Injured man was taken to the station house accompanied by Dr. C. T. Harper, who dressed his wound, and sent him to the hospital. Dr. Harper found a cut in the officer's head on the right side about two inches long, a severe contusion on the right shoulder with several minor bruises. Soon after' the assault took place Chief Furlong, Sergeant O. 8. Bur nett, Policeman M. C. Gray and others went to the scene and began work on the ease. Sergeant Burnett learned of the negro's habitation in East Wil mington and he and Officer Gray went immediately to ihe house. The negro was not found at the first place mentioned and later Chief Furlong, Capt. N. J. Williams, Policemen Ed Jones and D. 8. Reveille and Constable W. B. Savage went out to reinforce the party as it was necessary to watch two houses and be prepared to take the negro. Af ter assaulting the officer, Smith came back to the restaurant and beat the proprietor In the face and then made a run for his East Wilmington home. He had arrived safely and was sitting in aichair before some coals on the hearth, when Chief Furlong and Of ficer Gray broke in on him. He pre tended to be drunk and half asleep and offered no resistance, but an open knife was found in his pocket when he was searched at the police station. ' The wounded officer was carried to the station as the force had assembled for night duty and the condition in which the negro had left their com rade made each one take a personal interest In the affair and had the negro shown up in the city, it Is safe to say he would have been taken dead or alive. Smith formerly worked for the J. O. Stevenson Company and at several of the livery stables in the city. He is a terror, among his race, but the little Incident yesterday 'afternoon should Insure him a good long term in the penitentiary. D' Valerie Company. Mr. Jno. W. Blomme, advance agent of the D'Vaignie Company, which will appear here in the Acade my of Music next Friday night and Saturday matinee at popular prices, arrived in the city yesterday.

PROSPECTS ARE VERY BRIGHT Crops Are Thought to Be Fully a Week Earlier Than Last Year Quality of the Fralt Will Be Excellent. Expert's Opinion Motes In the favored section of Eastern North Carolina, known as the truck ing belt, the advent of -Spring always has with it a reminder of those busy times incident to the moving of a huge Strawberry crop. The grower? t the transportation people, the ice mtan ffoUrrer '"mmd a-dosenand. one Other classes of, population are all visibly affected by the mad rush to furnish the world for a few weeks at least the bulk of its berry supply. Editor W. Whitehead, of the "Carolina Fruit and Truck Growers' Journal," during the past two weeks has made a study of the - prospects 'for the seasjn now nearly upon us, and in this week's issue of his paper he gives the result of his observations. Within the next sixty days, and possibly within six weeks, strawber ries will baein to move from this sec tion in car load lots, says the Journal. The indications, are that the season will be fully a week ahead of last year, and the first car load shipment went forward last season on the 38th of April. The vines are in good shape and everything is favorable for some fruit of an extraordinarily high grade quality. From experience and obser vation our people are yearly learning the importance and value of grading closer, packing better and picking more carefully. These are things that count much for the grower as well as for the dealer when the returns come in, and only those who have had more or less experience in the growth and shipment of berries can just exactly appreciate the importance that at taches to this feature. Strawinsr has been the order of the day now for some little time, and the ueidfl are already beginning to present something of a bee-hive aspect. The crate factories are all running in full blast, and taken altogether the out look is quite favorable for a good year's business just ahead. The in creased acreage will increase the vol ume of business, and to those who are familiar with the past season's operations this statement can best be appreciated. Year after year it is be ing demonstrated that this territory produces the finest grade and quality of strawberries produced anywhere in the United States, and can be gotten to the great consuming and distribut ing centers of the Northern, New England and Middle 8tates quicker. and at a time, too, when nature calls for sometning or inis coaracter.- The vegetable and Irish potato crops throughout this territory are also up to the average, and bid fair at this writing to make a good showing dur ing the coming season. Asparagus has already begun to move from the Charleston section, and lettuce, radishes, etc., are begin ning to go forward from different points on the Atlantic Coast Line in North Carolina, all of which are bring ing good average prices. Ke ports from Missouri. Tennesse and Texas would indicatejthat between the floods and freezes the strawberry crops of those sections have been practically ruined. Some estimate the damage at 75 per cent. ; others say 50 per cent, will cover it. If that be true, then the country must look largely to the two Carounas and Vir ginia for strawberries this season, as the eastern shore of Maryland crop is very much short of last year. The strawberry and vegetable acre age in the two Oarolinas continues to Increase with each passing year. How long this condition of affairs will go on remains to be seen. In strawber ries the acreage increase this year will be about 10 to 15 per cent, over last year's increase over 1901. As showing the vast army of people engaged in the strawberry business alone we would state that while the total acreage foots up 6,474 acres, the number or growers has reached the stupendous figures of 3,489. Many of these growers employ from 50 to 100 hands during the picking, packing and grading season, and it is a safe esti mate to say that fully 50,000 people are employed during the shipping season to move the crops. It is thus easily to be seen what an enormous amount ol money is paid out in this section every year that goes into daily circulation. Add to this the -sum total or the amount returned to this section from the berries and vegetables sold, and the wonder is that we are not the most prosperous and independent people on the globe, i indeed, the figures are astounding. "HizelKIrk" Presented. . The ever green play of ."Hazel Kirk," which has become traditional, was well presented at the Academy last night.

TRUCK MOVEMENT, First Shipments of Aspsrafas at Good Prices Soliciting agents Eocoor seed at the Outlook. "The first shipments of asparagus have been made to New York by the Atlantic Coast Line, and if the warm weather continues the movement will increase rapidly," says yesterday's Florence Times. "Asparagus is quoted on the New York market at $1.50 3. 00 a box, and naturally the truck farmers are anxious to ship as early as pos sible. "With the quick railway facilities offered the growers are able to get the full benefits of the trade. Beets and - lettuce are moving In good quantities. The cabbage crop, which is developing rapidly, wm soon get on the market, but this is not satisfactory to the truckers, inasmuch as reports show that the demand is light. 1- "According to the reports received by the soliciting agents or the Atlantic Coast Line, the truck season will be unusually good, and the fanners will probably make big money on the Spring trade."
