Considerable excitement was caused on
our streets last evening by the arrest Oh
two of our best young men by Omcer Bow
man, and the feeling against the of1cer was
very bitter among a great many tnaC claim
to have seen the arrest. We Will try ana
do Justice to both sides by giving the state
ments made by them. Officer Bowman
saws that he had just ordered a crowd of
the corner a few minutes before the arrest,
and when he saw WI ladies trying to ell
bow their way through the crowd he went
to them and ordered them to dispense, Geo.
Moore and Chas. Brown being among the
number. and when these two refused 10
move off he placed them under ar
rest and took them. to the lookup. On
the other side Moore and Browns state
ment, which is corroborated by a great
many witnesses, was that as soon as the
officer ordered them 10 get out Of the way,
they did so as soon as possible, and wnlIe
doing so Moore made a remark TO Brown
about his necktie, upon which the ofhcer,
who had started away, turned, and think
ing that they had made a remark about
him. took hold of them and took them TO the
lookup. where security was put up for
their appearance. These two young men
are the kind that don't break the law II
they know :. and everybody seems to re-
greet this affair,
