Not Chilly


 The Board of Police Commissioners held a meeting last evening for the purpose of hear ing charges preferred by the chief against Officer Benjamin s. Jackson The charges were gross neglect of duty, in that on the morning of February 27, 1883, he could not be found on his beat from 1928 until 1925, one hour and two minutes, and that there was burglary committed on his beat the same night and that he did not investigate and report to Captain Sheridan.
 Jackson in his own defense said that he saw two men and 8 woman walking along Hamilton street and they went into an Ital- ian boarding house. He afterward heard a woman scream went into the house and stayed some time trying to find out what the trouble was; then he went along Wallace street and heard horse thrashing in Keen an s stable. He woke up Charles Wiedig was In the barn about twenty minutes or half an hour.
 Roundsman Driscon and Sergeant Smith stated that they went around Jackson's beat several times, but could not find him.
 Officer Jackson claimed that he was in the places named when the officers were looking after him.
 There seemed to be some question about the burglary, as the same party's store had been found unlocked three or four times by other policemen, and Jackson had found it unlocked once.
 The Board went into executive session and found that the charges were not sustained After giving the officer a slight reprimand the commissioners requested him to report for duty.
