RESISTING AN ANOFFICER.-Aboutfo four
months ago, Joseph Dickerson
thrashed Edward Bryan, who swore
out a warrant for assault. In making
the arrest Constable wilkins met with
resistance. Dickerson was armed with
knife and threatened to cut the ofh-
Ger if he persisted in attempting to ar
rest him, but he was finally taken into
custody.
Officer wilkins swOre out a warrant
for Dickerson for resisting an officer" ,"
and a warrant for James Millman for
aiding and abetting. The warrant was
given to the constable at Milton to ex-
eeute. He came to Milford last Sat
urdav and arrested James Millman,
who gave bail for his appearance at
court; but Dickerson made his escape
by the aid of friends who drove him
away towards Harrington. He was
captured afterwards by J. E. Coffin
and arralgned before Esq. Stevens.
The charge was a serious one, and the
young men realized it when brought
up to face the law.
LArER.-We learn that the above
case has been compromised by the
young men, by paying the ccst of the
prosecution, etc. Just how this was
done we have not been able to learn
from the officials themselves, as we
have not been able to interview them.

mile he was obliged to abandon his
