a Young Man Creates a Sensation at
Eighth and ID.
Police officer Higgins was standing on
the corner of Seventh and ] streets last
evening, when a young man rushed
breathlessly up to him and informed him
that there was crazy man at Eighth
and ID streets who had knife, and was
going to kill somebody
Officer Higgins was off duty at the
time, but, nevertheless, he accompanied
the young man back to the scene of the
expected butchery.
a large crowd had gathered in front of
house near the corner, and all We're
watching the antics of a young man, who
was waltzing up and down the balcony of
the house, and fiourishing knife about
threateningly.
Somebody informed the officer that the
young fellow was a lunatic and had
driven his parents and other members of
the family out of the house, and threat
ened to Kill them if they attempted to
return.
Here, now, my friend, you've had
enough fun here, and it's time to stop.n
said the officer as he began mounting the
stairs. Pm an officer, and l want you
to keep quiet"
''Oh, you're cop, are you" shouted
y
here I'll kill you"
"Oh, no, you WON'T" was the officers
reply, still advancing.
The would-be slaughterer saw that the
officer meant business, and he quickly
ran into the house and locked the officer
out. The latter then called to a citizen to
assist him, and the two went around to
the rear of the house and gained an en-
trance. While they were searching for
the knife-wielder, officers Lowell and
Shook arrived upon the scene, and came
to their assistance. The young man was
found to have locked himself in room,
and when the officers demanded adj
mittance they were threatened with
carving if they did not leave.
The door was forced open and the crazy
man disarmed and handcuffed.
AT the city prison he gave his name as
NJ. Clegg. 1t is said that the young man
has been drinking heavily of late, and it
is believed that he had an attack of Jim
jams" last night.
