One Knock-dovn and Two Warrants the r.

All shout Q dcgI That was the little thing thst
get two men into trouble yesterday and made
work for three or four more. II was o valuable
canire-ssid to be a Russian setter, Qf anybody
knows what that isl and highly priced by the
owner.
A gentleman at present absent from the city is
the reIuted Fossessor Of the dog, but LEFT him in
the care Of friend for safe-keeping. Last Satur.
day " esley Jordan, coored-Who has love for
dogs, especially those Of any account-was seen
to pass along Pennsylvania avenue accompanied
at the livery stables of Allison NaIlor, jr., OBJ
served the two, and being we'll acquainted with
the owner and satisfied that he was in unsafe
hands, determined II possible to gain possession Of
the dog and keep him until the master could be
heard from.
He induced Wesley to bring the animal to the
stables, where Mr.. NailOr told him whose prop
erty 1t was, and that he was satisfied liberal re-
ward would be paid for his recovery, Wesley
asserting that he found the dog. Mr.. NaiIor
promised to write to the owner, whe was In New
York, and state the circumstances, which he did
that afternoon; and the dog was put up stairs to
await his masters wishes. Wesley went away
satisfied with the arrangement, but after think
ing over It he suddenly changed his mind and re-
solved to get the dog back. So he went to Mr..
Majors stables about o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and while the two men who remaln there
nightly on watch were in the lower end looking
af.er horses which had become united, he entered
the office, unlocked the door leading to the second
floor, went up, brought down the dog and left. A
psfty standing on the opposite side Of the street
men came up the stable he informed them OF what
had tTanspired.
3 1t was then too late to overtake him, so, on the
arrival Of the foreman shortly after ave o'clock,
the information was impaired to him. He knew
Wesley's abiding place, and thither, alone, he
went in search Of the dog. The Jordan family
confronted him on the sidewalk. Frank Wagner
had come on business, and two Jordan families
would not have frightened him back about that
time. Frank asked Wesley for the dog. He
denied that It was there. Frank was positive,
and Wesley impaired his belief that he told
lie. The words were not cold on Wesley's lips
before he was measuring to see how many bricks
in the Sidewalk he could cover by lying out at his
full length, while Franks arm was Strengthened,
with his fist frightened like wise, and the flashing
eye quickly told that the temper was red-hot.
Wesley was content with the first measurement,
and would not dispute It again under any cir
cumstances, but finding that Mr.. Wagner still
remained he invited him within the family
domicile, and there was found the Russian setter
that had cost him knockdown, and which per
haps might have been done in rushing style.
Wagner took the animal and departed. Wesley
proceeded to the Police court and obtained a war
rant against him for assault and battery, and
after found himself under arrest, charged with
burglary. Both parties will have o hearing in
the Police court to-day.

The performance at the Theatre Comique was
interrupted Saturday afternoon by an attempt on
the part Of Oficer Crook to arrest q notorious
thief named Martin Mari, who was charged with
stealing or connIvng with the thief who stole one
or more watches some days since. Oficer Crook
has for some days past, had his eye on Mari, sup.
posing he was the thief or knew who the guilty
party was. Saturday aft fternoOn he visited the

the party was who had the stolen property in pos
session. Mari agreed TO furnish the desired H.
formation, but after marked hesitation claimed
that the possessor Of the stolen property then
in the orchestra. The officer demanded that he
should go to the front and produce the party.
Mari, finding that he vas cornered, said the
property was in the possession of an actress.
Otheer Crook then demanded that Mari should
This caused ID artin to weaken, and Oficer Crook
finding that he was endeaVoring to eVade him, at

A resistance followed, when Oficer Crook was
obliged to resort to desperate means, and with his
billy gave Mari several blows on the he I'd. A
struggle ensued, and upon reaching the outside of
the theatre Mari struck Crook and knocked him
down. Crook on falling to the pavement struck
