ground and there then ensued a most des-
perAte battle Mcbride is d strong man and
very athletic, but the desperation Of the
prisoner semed to add additional strength to
his muscle. He finally succeeded in getting
the officer on the ground andseized his ear
between his teeth. The struggles Of the Of

the latter jumped to his feet. AS the Of

him terrific kick in the side, Just above
the thigh, and the officer fell back on the
sidewalk. Again the heavy foot descended,
but the plucky officer had caught hold OF
the foot, and he held fast. FINALLY, with q
supreme effort he got upon his feet, crap
