NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 11.-When thu
north bound Louisville and Nashville train
pulled into this city at 1898 this morning {
crowd of people surged around the car to SCI
John L. Sullivan who was known to be or
board. A rumor soon obtained circulation
that requisltion was in the hands of tn,
police, several of whom had boarded the car
Some discussion and finally struggle wa
seen in the car, and an officer reached owe,
with handouts in his hand, and Selling the
slugger's arm, pulled him out into the aisle
of the car. Sullivan resisted. Mike Null
doom, who occupied the same seat
put his head out of tho window
and cried to the crowd: "Gentle
men, demand American protection" Hi
patriotic wall was greeted with variety o.
responses, some cheered Sullivan aud begged
him to ''Knock the coppers out" Other.
cried "Hurrah for the Nsshville police,
''Hit him with your club" etc. After
brief struggle Sullivan was taken from tn,
car and hustled to a carriage. In the
souffie he drew back to knock a police
man down, when Chief Slack stuck pisto
in his face and told him if he struck b,
would kill him. The officers next grabbed
Charley Johnston of Brooklyn, Sullivan's
hacker, who resisted vigorously. During

vans other second, hid in the excitement
and the other man, named Lynch, jumped
off the train. Only Johnston and Sullivan
were detained, though the othels were want
ed.
The arrest was made by authority of tel
egram from Governor LoWrey of Mississippi
to the Nashville chief of police. Sullivan
has retained ex-Atto1ney General Washing
ton, who says that the officers went beyon'
their authority.
After sul laO,aas arrest res lawyers we1
habeas corpus applied for. At 3 o'cloc
Judge McAllister of the Circuit cour
made his appearance and proceedings wer
begun. Sullivan and johnson, OF Lynch c

The answer to this petition reoitsd ths
Chief of Police Slack had positive ir
formation that Sullivan did commit
crime in the State of Mississippi an
that he believed this crime was
penitentiary offense to the laws of Missii
