az ofncer Charles Gardner, OF the 9th ward, was on
duty on the Rive Points he vas violently assaulted By
notorious thief, called Jim Dunn who knocked hIu
down aided by other thieves Of that vcinity aud In
jured him IN very serious manner An alarm was rvru
By the Officer, for help but before they arrived IN,
rascal Dunn escaped Hywever, there IL no doubt bat
the officers will have him in custody very soon poss

days Something must he done In this matter either
the thieves must be allowed TO rule or the public su
thorties go with sufficient to nut do at once

discharge OF their duty. We hope and trust that
when these rogues come before the Court OF Sessions
70 answer these charges, justice will be melted out
TO them In such way will tend In future to put
stop to all such attacks Of thieves upon the
conyicts from Blsckwells Island arrested es-

arrest many other escaped csnvicts from the Island
Who are seen daily In the public streets Thws IL
Desperate Mike, Bergen Jack Charley Hayden and
thieves having several months yet to serve the Is
land, and YET they are permitted TO promenade the
streets With inpunity. How Is this What IL tue
