In war il fights with all its cavalry,

in peace it does not initiate the action

Nashville Banner. 10.
Officers Averill and Vincent had
quite = tussle last night with B. r.
Alexander, a native Of Mississippi,
who claims to be a commercial trav
eler for an Aurora, ILL.,, gold plate
house. The facts, as adduoed before
the Recorder this morning, showed
that Alexander had been riding in the
hack of Jim Dickinson, and he finally
ended his ride at q house on North
College street, where he told the negro
he could 90 and refused TO pay him.
The hickman reported the case to the
officers, and they called Alexander
out, when Dickinson asked for his
hack money. Alexander grew furious,
and swore that unless the negro left
Immediately there would be bloOdshed.
The police demonstrated with Alex
ander and advised him to pay the boy.
At this he drew his walking cane and
made q lunge at Dickinson, but was
prevented from striking him by the
police, who told him they would have
TO perform the painful duty Of
taking him to the workhouse.
At this threat all the ire Of
the young man was aroused, he swore
he would kill both officers, negro and
all before he would 90 a step. He
boosted Of having whipped FIVE police
men in Memphis, and was the terror
or bully Of Mississippi, aud il was Just
70 his baud to kill a couple Of police.
The officers then started TO the station,
but Alexander, true to his word,
showed 6ght from the start, and before
DO could be moved one step in that
direction IL was found necessary ia
put the nippers on each arm.
Thus manacled, no continued Ia
fight, and before he was lodged behind
the bars the police were we'll nigh tired
out. He cursed and used the vilesi
language imaginable toward the off
GERS. After he was placed in the dun.
geon he swore he would kill the two
officers II he ever got out. The Re.
