Ward was at home and re- ceived we'll merited punishment for his ln- sulting manner, was before the City court yesterday morning. While MT. Ward was testifying against the scamp, who sat in chair listening to the testimony, he suddenly jumped to his feet and seizing chair raised it to brain MT. Ward. Officer Nettleton saw the movement and quick flash he jumped for Roland and as the chair descended he received portion of the force of the blow upon his own person. He partly warded oil the blow with his left hand and grabbed Roland's throat with the other, holding him tight until Detective Reilly and other officers came to his assistance. The villain was at once handcuffed and placed in a chair, while two or three officers stood over him. Judge Pickett ordered a warrant to be made against Roland for being tramp. This was done and after being put to plead the judge bound him over to the Superior court on this charge and then sentenced him to pay $50 fine for assault in the court room and $10 fine for injury to property. Officer Nettleton is entitled to much praise for the nerve and presence of mind he displayed on the occasion. The officers left arm and side were considerably bruised and he was very lame and sore from the effects of the blow. But for Officer Nettleton's promptness Mir. Ward would no doubt have been seriously injured
