n an, who appeared to be German, passed these
ruffans As he approached the entrance to the saloon
at the above corners, one of the mes, without ap.
pareptly any provoca.iop, stepped up to him and
struck him violent blow in the face with his fist.
The poor fellow reeled and went irto the basement.

sitting on chair with bis hands 20 his face and asked
him if any one hurt him. No answer was ret rned, and
the officers supposDg that had been hurt, re-
tuIr ed TO Court.
About FIVE minutes aftervaHi the injured man came
out OF the saloen and crossed toward the Police

no resistance other than to hold his bands TO his face
ard 10 get away from the grasp Of the brute. But he
was held tight, aud right in the face Of the court in
