EVIDENTLY BAD MEN.
Two Uniamed Bpcds the Warpath Give
Dadlsman Some Exercise.

OfficerIke Dadisman had an experience
yesterday that was nearly as tough on
him AS when Mike Burke attempted to
mop the sidewalk with him. He shed no
blood on this occasion. however, but he
was caused to sweat like the proverbial
African at an election. Ikes lucky star
is not on the right portion of the heavens
this month by any means and he Is made
to earn his $50. which is more than can be
said of some more of the Populistc police
men.
Yesterday Ike had spent half the day on
his beat serenely and supremely happy,
but at noon he heard that there were
two tough men painting the town red
on Fifth avenue. He hastened
to the scene and the individuals in ques-
tion tried their sprinting accomplishments
by taking TO their heels. He gave them
chase and Tor ten minutes they enjoyed a
race compared to which the derby at Chi
cago last week was nothing. 1t was a
genuine hurdle race, too, and fences and
pigpens and chicken coops were cleared
with the agility of catamounts. Finally
the worst man ot the two sought shelter
in house and when he went IN the fam
lily made their exit yelling murder.
thieves, robbers" az the top OF their
voices When the blue coat ar
rived it was announced that
the bad man had a gun and
sure enough, when the officer appeared at
the door lie looked into the barrel of a
revolver, whose bore looked like u sewer
pipe. 1t was A but Ike freely confesses
that it looked to him as if it might be 1914.
III XII! you in your tracks" said the bad
man to the officer, as he glanced along the
shining barrel of his artillery; but Ike, in
the mean time had pulled his gun aud
covered the heart Of the bad man. Throw
up your hands," said the officer, and up
went the hands OF the bad man until
they touched the ceiling. He was
duly arrested, but he was Il bad
man to handle. Dadisman put him
III an improvised ambulance aud had
to make cushion seat Of him
10 hold him down. The fellow was very
foul mouthed and he abused the officer
IN the most obscene and protaue language
that could be uttered by his foul lips. In
the meantime the other fellow was arrest
ed and both of them lodged in the bastile.
Here the bad man commenced TO renew
his capers and the police were in a guam
dry to know how to subdue him. John
Fisher who Is always fertile OF resources
IN an emergency suggested that Nike
Burke. who has been Gagged since he para
lyzed fellow prisoner named Jones, be
turned loose with the bad man. As Mike
stepped out through the door of the iron
cage into the corridor with the ferocious
grin and the majestic stides of a
royal Bengal tiger, the bad
man wilted and became lamblike in his
disposition. Mike looked like lie would
like to give him six-months-in-th he hos
pital biff, with his favorite hand, and the
bad man had sense enough to know it,
No specific charges were preferred
against the men and they were not given
trial. The suppostion is that they
are pretty bold "all-rounders," and
they will be kept long enough
IN Jail until their individual records are
thoroughly investigated.
Tom King is the name of the bad man
and Charles Wesley is the name of his
comrade. King shot twice at Santa Fe
yard man and was about to draw bead
on another man who was passing when
the officers uniform attracted his atten-
ton. 1t Is supposed that he really wanted
TO hold up the men whom he made the
gun play on for the purpose of robbing
them.
The arrest caused considerable excite
ment.
