BUcKING AN OFFIcER-Ttere are four
young men in this city who will not hasten to
stand on the corner of Preble and Congress
streets and steal peanuts from the man roasting
them. These young men tried this little game
last evening and it did not work. After steal
ing peanuts for some time the vender complain
ed to Officer Hicks, who took them in hand.
The officers told them to move off the sidewalk,
but they refused, when he slung them one by
one into the street. Then they gathered on the
sidewalk on Preble street and began to make
loud talk about whom they could whip, etc.,
etc. Hicks moved on them again, and taking
the ringleader by the collar gave him a right
good sheaking. The quartette then begged
and the officer let them go home. 1t was a
good lesson for the fellows and ought to do
them good. If Hicks get hold of them again
their names will appear ia our police court re-
