The Second Precinct OHicers Errone-
ously Charged with DereIiction of
Duty.
When the reporter who was engaged In gath.
ering police news in the northern part Of the
city wrote his item on the gamblers near the old
mill race" q week ago, some evil spirit caused
him to attribute the continuance of the evil to
laxity on the part of the officers Of the sec
ond precinct. This was an error, because that
spot where gamblers delight to assemble Is
within the bounds of Lieut.. Kelly's realm
the sixth precinct-and the mistake was the
less excusable because nobody knows the
boundaries any better than the erring scribe.
IL probably tickled the officers of the sixth TO
have the blame placed whereit did not belong,
but they are now at liberty to cease smiling
at each other Yesterday afternoon the
scenes that have disgraced the neighborhood
on previous Sabbaths were being repeated by
large crowd of roughs when officers of the
second precinct unexpectedly broke In on
them and ran them of, thus doing the duty
which properly belongs to their brethren of
the sixth. And now there will be peace be-
tween the reporter and the men of the sec.
ond, while the attaches of the sixth will refer
to him In most vigorous terms.
