Hennis then turned his whole attentoDto
the young man, and started for him with
the ayowed intention of arrestng him. hnt
for what cause, It does not appear.
The officer had some trouble In galnng
admission to the yard OF the McGratb pron

swore out warrants for the arrest Of botb

over the matter and say that they have never
been In such fix IN their lives before and
further say that Hennis is continually
making disturbances In the neighborhood
by his bullying disposition.

ANOTHER CASE.
A collector for George Kelly Il Co., who
formerly had an installment house in th
city, had dispute with the wife of q police
man this morning concerning the payment
OF bill, which ended in the collector being
struck fercely three or four times BY the
officer, and finally arrested and taken to the
Hall. Sergeant HattOn made the arrest
The name of the officer could not b.
learned but he is said to be one of the lates
acquisitions to the force-a rounder, too
from all accounts.
The Chief also processes total Ignorance o
all knowledge of any facts in the case, aDi

insolence of members of the force, ant

officers are plaintiffs when they should bt
