Mr. James NJ. Boyd occupies handsome residence
with grounds attached at No. 4O3 East Hath street.
The unripe pears hanging in front Of the house have
proved temptation to the lads of Harlem.
many OF whom have been unable to resist it. Sew
eral days ago Mr.. Boyd requested Geranium
Knnan his colored coachman, to make an
effort to bring few OF the young marauders to
justice. Much hatteIed. the coachman instituted =
steady watch. On Thursday Officer Golden met
Goranium Kinnan with two boys in custody. Think
ing the coachman was assuming too much author
ity the officer interfe ed. Both bows escaped.
aud then Geranium who it is feared had been
imbibing, uncorked the walls of his wrath
upon the policeman. Officer Kane reached
the spot in time to prevent his brother
officer from being fattened out, whereupon
Geranium attacked both of the guardians OF the
peace. During the struggle Officer Kane lost dia-
in the Harlem Police Court, fined Geranium Sl0
