Investigating the Police.

An elaborate report of the second days in
vestigation into the relations between the po-
lice and the gamblers, now being conducted
by the Police Board, will be found on our first
page, and should be read sttentively by every
inhabitsnt of Washington who desires to
know in what manner the paid police officers
have protected the city against outrage. 1t
was shown by Mr.. Cooks own witnesses
that the police have had the most
intimate relations with the gamblers.
Members of the detective corps who are under
the immediate supervision of the Chief-Major
Richards-testifed that they had been in the
habit of visiting gaming houses and encour-
aging crime by their presence and patronage.
They claimed to have done this in their official
capacity but the public will make no distinction
between "oficial" games and any other kind
of games. The fact has been established
beyond all peradventure that there has been
completely between the police and gamblers.
Who can read yesterdays testimony and not
feel satisfied that our charges in this respect
have been establishedi So far only the wit
nesses introduced by Mr.. Cook, the gamblers
attorney and the Chiefs defender, have been
heard. When the witnesses for the people
take the stand the climax will be reached, and
rare developments will be in order. Meantime
let the old bones prepare for the coming rattle.

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-10-12

On Monday O Norwegian farmer, hav-
Sixta's liquor store on York street, to
make some purchases. Having accom-
plished this, he went out, leaving his
pocketbook with $37 in it, lying on the
counter. Two men, Geo. Rathsack ard
Geo. Mnuke, were in the store at the
time, and no sooner had the farmer left
than the first named took the pocket
book and walked off with it, followed by
his companion. Mr.. Sixta saw him take
it, but supposed it belonged to him. In
these times q man does not lose $37 with
out soon becoming aware of it, and it
was not long before the farmer re-entered
the store in a tremor of excitement to
wealth. Being told that Rathsack had
appropriated it he notified the City Mar
shall, warrant was issued and search
instituted for the light Fingered gent. A
thorough search was made, but the
man could not be found, and it was not
until the Marshal went to his place of
residence-a mile and half out of the
city-and reached under bed in spite
Of the protestations of his wife that he
was not in the house, that he succeeded
in putting the clutches of The law upon
him. This was about 10 o'clock at night
After some resistance the culprit was
handcuffed and marched over to the jail.
The following morning he was arraig ned
before Justice Glover and confessed that
he had stolen the money and divided it
with his companion, Mnuke. This ne
cessitated Mnuke's arrest, who was cap
tured and after stoutly denying all knowl-
edge of the matter, finally confessed to
having received $12 of the stolen money.
Upon their refunding the $37 and pay
ing the costs in the case they were dis
charged, the farmer not wishing to pros
ecute them further.

No regiment in the 14th corps was
under fire more than the Dist, and none
stood higher in the estimation of its dis
tinguished corps commander at the close
of the war. Quiner says in his history
of the war: ''In the grand review of the
armies at Washington, the Twenty first
was the last regiment but one, in the
column OF Snernan's army. No regi
ment in the fourteenth corps commanded
more attention for its soldierly bearing
and fine appearance. Of $50 men, who
left the State in the regiment, only 260
returned with it." Gen. Sherman in
his Memoirs" says: 1 remember that
Wisconsin kept her regiments filled with
re cruits, whereas other states generally
filled their quotas by wregiments, and
the result was that we estimated a Wis
consin regiment equal to an ordinary
brigade" At the close of the Rebellion
the Twenty-frst was the largest and only
Wisconsin regiment in the Fourteenth
corps.
The time and place of holding the en-
campment for next year will be published
hereafter.

TOUGH, BUT TRUTHFUL.

Editor Tribune The Captain of the
Twin Cities b. b. c., not satisfied with
displaying his mulish propensities at
Manitowoc, uses his paper to parade
them before the public. His last article
in the Depere News is lying before me,
and it is more to give the public an i'm
partial history of their game, than to
answer his slime, that I answer it, for
it is beneath the dignity of dog to an
swer an article coming from the pen of
the Captain of the Twin Cities. All
preliminary arrangements were made
for the game September 25tl. The De-
pere boys arrived here Sunday, and on
Monday they informed the Captain of
the Nonpareils that they had not brought
an umpire with them, and Mr.. Jones
was agreed upon by both Captains.
The game was called, and from the first
the Twin Cities made themselves disa
greeable to the Nonpareils as well as
the spectators, and showed that their
knowledge of Base Ball was exceedingly
limited. They expected to bully the
umpire into deciding in their favor
failing in this, and when they saw that
they were going to be beaten, they broke
up the game and left the grounds. At
the end of the fifth inning, the score
stood 10 to Is, in favor OF the Twin
Cities. and in the first part of the sixth
inning the Nonpareils had made one run
and two men ON bases and one man out,
and rather than have it said that the
Manitowoc boys beat them, they forfeit
ed the game. Now, will the Twin Cities
please state what the outrageous decis-
ions OF the umpire were? Will they
please refer us to any section of the code
that he violated 1t is true, that the
little pup who bossed the nine, fumbled
few pages of the Guide, but finally
gave it up in disgust, finding nothing
but that he was making on ass of himself.
We may be scrubs" Mr.. Captain, but
we are one rate better than the Twin
Ciries. The Brillion boys may De Scum
chewers )" the Sheboygan Falls boys
may be "Onion Jerkers - the Two
Rivers boys may be s'Potato Bug Scalp
ers," but they are oil kings to the lick
spittleish pups from Depere. Don't
come over here to play any more games
of ball !; Manitowoc has pretty strong
stomach, bat it can't hold the present
Captain of the Twin Cities, and she
would certainly have to puke him out.
Keep the ball you stole from us. Give
your mouth holiday about base ball.
You are silly, very silly low, very low
dirty, very dirty. NoNfAREIL.

A PLUCKY WoMAN.-On last Wednes-
day night two men rowed to the schooner
Erie Queen, which was lying at anchor
at Port Rowan, and boarded her. No one
was aboard of her at the time exceptAlrs.
Hudson, the captains wife, who was
waiting for her husband. The robbers
demanded money. Mrs. Hudson told
them there was none, when they told her
that there was, and that if she did not
fetch it at once one of them would hold
her while the other got the money, and
said she had better save further trouble
and get it. She went where the captain
had 81, 800 secreted, got pistol and
cooked it. and marching toward the rob-
bers, she told them that if they did not
90 ashore at once she would shoot. They
quickly put back into their hc,as and left.
thinking, no doubt, they had a marrow
escape.-.Sentisael
