Cor KNOCKED DowN.-About o'clock
Saturday evening officer Franks, who was
| coming down town after getting his supper,
had trouble with man at Twentieth and
| H streets. A street car came along and
stopped at q switch. A number of persons
ran to get on, including two ladies, and the
| officer requested the passengers already in
| the car to step forward and make room for
! the latter. A man who was standing
alongside the car, and whose name Franks
does not know, inquired of him, What
the HI is it your business? You're little
too d-n fresh NEEDING with the cars"
Franks did not respond, but continued to
| assist in getting the passengers on board,
! when the man again remarked, You'd
better get inside and screw those people up,
you're so fresh" The officer replied that
| he had not spoken to him, and that in
what he had done, and in his remarks gen
| orally, he had not said nor done anything
| thatwas ungentlemanly or that would neces-
state such language being used. The man
subsequently, broke out again, on Franks
telling the driver to 90 on, saying that
Judge Henry and John q. Brown had bet
ter appoint a few more policemen to do
car switching" etc. Franks not saying
anything, the man continued TO remark
that it would be better if the officer would
attend half as We, to the duty he was paid
for doing, but said it in such way that
Franks lost his temper and struck him
with his club, knocking him down. This
| is substantially the officers version of the
| matter. The friends of the man claim that
| he had not said anything to warrant his
| being hit, though he did criticise Franks
| for assisting about the cars. 1t is said that
the matter will be taken before the Police
| Commissioners. Franks says he did help
| somewhat in getting the cars loaded up.
| but he was off duty at the time, and could
| DO as he desired and besides the Chief of
| Police had suggested to him to stay in the
vicinity of Twentieth and II streets and
keep things straight.
