The papers in the case were placed IN
the hands Of the Sheriff yesterday after
noon. upon order Of Judge Paul, and
Depnty Garden went TO the store 70 make

made a grab for this weapon, but failed
10 secure it, and being In very
considerable danger from the ex'

possession Of the premises. Sher-

MFR. Garden brought Gleaser up to the
Court House, where be was taken be-

OF Mr.. Garden originally 20 take GleaseT
before q Justice, on the charge OF re-
Nsisting an officer in the discharge OF hls
duty, but on representations being made
that the wife was as guilty as the hus'
band, or more so, and that there

able TO give bond, the deputy concluded
To simply take them before the Judge,
There Mr.. Hearne appeared as counsel
for Mr.. Gleaser, and after 4 statement
Of the situation from Mr.. Garden, and
another, OF an Apologize nature from Mr.,
Hearne, the Court severely reprimanded
Mr.. Gleaser and allowed him to go.
In the meantime Sheriff Franzhelm
secured enough Of Scots & Cos goods
10 make up oil OF the claim but $685.
and the goods were boxed up.
Deputy Garden deserves a good deal
of credit for carrying out his instrue'
tions at considerable personal risk, as
it looked pretty squally for him for
time,
