1 thatthis boy had been taken by a
70 ecRllemah of this city, with the con
a cent 81 his parents, to live at his house,
! the gentleman agreeing to clothe the
boy and send him to school while the
I boy was to attend mornings and even
4 ilifs ID little duties about the house,
\ anch IS boys of his age are generally
required to do about home. On Mon
day, while the gentleman was engaged
at his place Of business, the boy be-
came enraged at some necessary re-
Nlruint and used the most insulting
/, end outrageous language to the lady
* .he house, threatening her in the
(, 1.aQAt violent manner. The gentleman
\ IVA aent for, and the boy went home
10 ohIB parents. In short time Loretz
b came and began in the most frenzed
4 manner to abuse the Americans
b Hanerally, and the gentleman andsh
\ lady in particular. He was requested
} to leave the premises, when he seized
! Rstick of wood and threatened to do
lnlachief. The gentleman started for
his place of business and Loretz fol-
lowed him still violent, and at one
time catching up stone which he
threatened to throw Arriving at his
Htofethe proprietor stepped in, went
behind the counter and took a seat
LofaLz followed him in, still apparent
Iy frantic with rage, and seizing a
chair made an effort to strike the
Reflleman across the counter. The
Marshal happened to be passing at
this moment ard the mailman was
arrested, and taken before Recorder
H6ffen, who, after hearing the case,
imposed fine of $40 on the offender
Being impecunious, and the Recorder
and Marshal plying his. family, he
was told that If he would promise to go
about his business and cease his vio-
leuce he would be permitted to work
oHl his fine ut leisure times This he
refused to do, and asked to see his
family before going to the calahoQse.
Officer Mcknight kindly consented to
takr him to see his family. On ar
riqlng at his residence, Loretz had u
short conversation with his wife, at the
close of which he took child,
an infant in his arms and bidding
hih wife and the four larger children
follow him, the whole party started up
town. Loretz, by his words and
actions, bidding defiance to the Mar
ahal 10 arrest him. The whole family
marched up and down the principal
business streets, followed by the Mar
shal VINO endeavored to prevail on
the Fugitive to give the infant to his
wife, and come to an accommodation.
Ills be de1iantly refused to do. AT
nength the officer caught him by the
ielt arm and told him he must go to
tall At this scene began both
Nliihhle and exciting. The woman
screamed, the children became frantic
with fright, and crying, scattered like
young quails. the man still grasping
tile infant with his right arra
wIfle with his left arm and feet
ho fought like maniac, greatly
scndangering the limbs.and life of his
child, which he refused to surrender
until 1t was forced from his arms in q
halfstrangled condition and given to
iienOtheT. The Marshal then started
with his prisoner, who together with
ihia wife, continued to resist, to the
calaboose. On arriving at the en-
trance the scene beggared description.
sIhe Screams of the woman and chill
sdfAn were wild and frantic, while the
annn fought with the desperation of
liqdlamite. Finally the, man was
forced into the prision, and at the
sollcitation Of the crowd that had con-
gfegated, tie woman and children
were permitted to so in also. A num-
bet of gentlemen present whose sym
A paihies were aroused for the little
children, made up the amount Of the
flue, and upon promising to go home
and be quiet the prisoner and his
family were released. This man
Ifetz, is no doubt insane. He has
been ia the city but few months and
the people have given him work and
assisted him in many ways. He has
been generally Industrious, but has on
several occasions without cause assail
cd PEACEFUL citizens with violent and
threatening language Unless he
uneh1s his ways, he should be taken by
the authorities and placed under
proper restraint.
