POLICEMEN AND PISTOLS.
Policemen Kirby and Heidingsfelder,
met cn E N street this morning enc af:er
having a few words, Kirby belsbored
Heidingsfelder over The head with pis-
tol. The cause of the Diff Guilty is said to
be in feet that Heidirg sfeide1 claimed
knowledge of an act Of certain minister
the publicity of which would rum his
standing in the community, and that the
officer was paid sum as "hush" money.
few days since charges were
fled sgsiust HeidingsfeIder ind he
was suspended from the force
until they could be Investigated. This,
1t seems, led 10 his making the statement
to the Clerk Of the Police CO urt that he
got the money and that the Chief Of Po-
lice shared in the spells, and also that
Mr.. Kirby, while he tried to keep himself
in the dark in the mstter, wss as deep
into it as any Of the rest. This state
ment from Heidingsfelder reached Mr..
Kirby's hearing and he at oGce called the
former to account, who, it is said, made
no denisl, but insisted that he is ready to
prove the statement. The minister alluded
to is one Of the most prominent in the
stste, and his friends declare the reports
about him to be slanderous.
