Assaulting an Ofticer.
On Saturday night Walter Frake, as
usual, got drunk and while standing with
two companions, Patrick Fitzpatrick and
Jerry Madden in front Of Cowgilrs store
made the air fairly blue with his cursing
Officer Gsron came up TO him and reques-
ted his companions to take him home and
they promised to do 60. The officer then
proceeded on his beat and after some time
had elapsed he came back and found the
crowd still there. he then asked Frake
to take walk with him and he consen-
ing, they started up Main street, Fitzpat-
rick and Madden following, who were
Joined by George Menroe, and Barney
Fitzpatrick, brother of Patrick.
The party commenced 10 abuse the offic r
and swore he should not take Frake 10
Jail. At Girven's saloon Officer Garon
called on William Girven, Jr., to help hi n
and the party proceeded as far as Cages
store when the roughs attempted to take
Frake away. This they failed to do and
one Of the party called out 'to wait until
he gets up to the Court House and then
we will take him." When they got in
front of Mark r. Sooy's office Monroe
rushed in and pulled Girven away; Garon
then struck in the crowd with his cane as
they closed about him and dispersed
them. Patrick Fitzpatrick then seized q
stick os wood from pile near by and
struck the officer fearful blow in the
mouth cutting his lip and looseping his
teeth, Garon then said he wonld take
Frake to Jail and did go.
While at the Jail Turnkey Taylor loan
ed Garon his revolver to protect himself
when he came down town, and it even
tually proved good thing as the officer
found them waiting for him when he
came back, but as such men are generally
towards when met on equal footing they
so proved themselves as they slunk away
On learning Garon was armed and no
more trouble was made. DR.. Chamber
lain dressed Officer Garon's wound the
same night and found bis lip SO badly cut
that he could lay his centre finger in the
cash.
On Monday morning Officer Garon
swore out warrants against the whole par
ty before Justice Clevenger and it is his
intention to prosecute the gang to the
fullest extent Of the Law. They were ar
rested and taken before Justice eleven
ger when they waived hearing and
were placed under $500 bail for their ap-
peaEance on Thursday evening.
