AN OFFICIAL CONFLICT.
A Deputy Sheriff VIII Contest the Right

n Deputy Sherln VIII Contest the Right
OF a Policeman's Authority.
On moro than one occasion disputes
have arisen between the police officers and
deputy sherifs rs to each others rights TO
make an arrest when both we're ON the
ground at the same time. The question
again arose yesterday afternoon, and a So
luton Of II may set at rest this unpleasant
controversy between the guardians Of the
peace. On Friday night Rebecca job nson
and Fannie Wheeler had a fight with Ella
Walker and Florence Cole, her daughter,
at the latter's house on Causey street. All
the parties are colored, and the causes
leading TO the fight were triiling, but the
difficulty was sufficient TO cause an arrest,
and from that arrest the controversy be-
tween Deputy Sheriff Burke and Police
Officer Jackson has arisen.
Yesterday morning Ella Walker APP
pearcd before Squire Fleming and sworc
out a warrant changing her assailants,
johnson and Wheeler with assault and
battery. The warrant was intrustcd 10
Burke, and he went TO serve H. When he
reached the Wheeler house he found
Officer Jackson with the woman
In charge. Burke produced his warrant
and demanded the custody Of the prisoner.
Jackson had no warrant, admitted that he
had not seen the fight. but had been told
Of u, and had come 10 mako the arrest,
and he would not let the woman 20 on the
warrant. Quite n wordy controversy took
place between the officers, but jackson
