At the ball at Turner Hall LAST nighs
everything seemed 10 90 along ell right I'M
til finally one Owen willisns wanted to
whip Watt Cline. There were plenty OF
police On hsnd-four, We ae tosd-and
Williams Vas put out Of The hail. He
soon CAME back sgain, and wss arrested.
When the officers, four OF them present.
were hunting Williams coat and hat
CliDes' hat was taken. Cline objected TO
his hat being given to Williams, Q the
police, Jour Of them there, arrested him.
ed, he had done nothing. Clubs were
brought into use however, and Watt was
landed in the lookup with Q very sore
head. An old shirt lying in the office this
morning looked IS though there had been
q bulchering frolic last night Both the
arrested parties plead guilty aud were
fined the former under the ordinances, the
latter under the statute. Pete Crisweii IS
engaged by the Trustees OF the Turner 80
ciety to keep order in the hall, but what
were the other three officers doing there!
Who was watching over the peace, quiet.
and homes Of the residents OF the various
wards? 1t Is strongly intimated that free
beer was the attraction Ldcpeldeat.
The local editor Of the hSfepeRdent seems
to have Q particular spite at a police
force, and without cause. The above Ati.
Gle is from his pen, and is unjust, entirely
uncalled for and made purely through
spite. The police were there, but not until
the officer, who was on duty, sent for them
to come. He saw that = fuss vas immt-
nent, and thought that he would be un-
able to control it alone. and sent for
tie other officers, as was his duty,
and the officers, as vas their du.
Nv, responded, and it was we'll
that they did, for had they not been there
an immense row would have been the con.
sequence. By their prompt action this
was happily arrested. IL Johnny Gov
bad hunted up the facts he would have
found them to be as We have stated. In.
stead he takes the report OF some sore head
and at once finds fault with the police for
doing their duty. II they had not been
there We would have come Il and said,
where are the police"
