There was trouble yesterday ut the
Depot, which resulted i'm the arrest Of
drunken man by officer Sands. The
inebriate became violent and struck
the officer, SO that he was obliged to
show his pistol. A gentleman, who
was present, sends u communication
| to this office about the ill advised ac-
ton of the officer in drawing his pis-
tOl, and thinks that had he discharged
the weapon, some of the bystanders
might have been killed. Such ideas
are very foolish. An officer in nine
cases out Of ten never resorts to his
"back pocket" until he believes him
self to be in danger, and Mr.. Sands Is
the last man i'm the force to use unnec-
essary violence. The law should be as
sisted, not impeded, and gaping citi-
zens had far better help an officer in
the execution Of his duty, than to crit
icise the advisability or necessity of
his drawing his weapon.
