MORE SCRAPS FOR LEVY.
All Sorts of Complications Arising on
His Account.

The city detectives are having lively
times these days, with prospect Of con-
tinued liveIness. Harry Beckett was
fined - by the recorder yesterday morn
ing for the fight in which he engaged with
Detective Levy in the city exchange
Wednesday afternoon. The charge
against Levy was dismissed. as the evil
teuce showed the other party 70 have
been the aggressor.
Another row, growing out OF the same
affair, took place on BrOugh ton street
yesterday afternoon. A warrant was
sworn out for Israel Levy. Isaac Levy's
brother, charging him with striking
Harry Beckett in the melee at the city
exchange The warrant was sworn OIt
before Justice Sheftau and placed in the
hands OF Detective HUMPHREYS. Hum
phries found the two Levys near the cor
ner Of BrOughtOn and Barnard streets,
and attempted TO arrest Isaac.
When Levy found that the warrant was
for his brother he refused TO submit to
arrest. Detective HUMPHREYS seized him
in the collar and attempted to take him
by force. Levy resisted, and J. J. Open
helm, a constable who accompanied
HUMPHREYS, started to assist him, when
Israel Levy took hand and went for
Oppenheim. The liveliest kind of a scrap
was in progress when a policeman came
along and put stop to the row. The
policeman saw the whole party safely to
Justice SheftaPs office, where bond was
given by Levy.
Another outgrowth of the Beckett
Levy affair IS prospective pugilistic en-
counter, Marquis of Queensberry rules,
between }. II. Schmiedeberg, the we'll
known Bryan street saloon keeper, and
Detective Bossell. Mr.. Schmiedeberg
Il ~ l.. Il.
Detective Bossell. After Beckett and
Levy had been arrested Mr. Schmiede-
berg came up to where the party was
standing awaiting the arrival of the
patrol wagon and declared excitedly that
the time would come when men
would not be employed by the city who
are not honest, and when citizens would
not be arrested on trivial charges. He
claims that when he made this remark
Detective Bossell replied that when that
time came he would knock all the saur
kraut out of him.
Mr.. Schmiedeberg feels that he was
grossly insulted by this remark of Detec-
tive Bosseu, and be wants satisfaction.
He announced to his friends that if De-
tective Bossell could knock the saur
kraut out of him, he would be glad to give
him chance to try it. He is ready to
meet him anywhere and fight it out to a
finish.
Detective Bossell heard of this indirect
challenge, and at once proceeded to take
IL up. He said last night that he was
ready to meet Mr.. Schmiedeberg on the
following conditions: He is to have a
weeks notice to get in training, and the
fight tie take place at midday in an open
field, Marquis of Queensberry rules to
govern the fight. II would not fight
Schmiedeberg in a room" said Bossell,
because If his foot should slip and he
should fail on me there would be an
end to the fight at once, but if the fight
is to take place in an open field where l
will have plenty of opportunities for
sprinting l am ready to fight him to a
finish"
AS Mr. Schmiedeberg weighs about 300
pounds and Bossell only 1875, the
reasonableness of the latter's re-
quest for plenty of ground
in which to sprint is evident. He
would doubtless adopt Corbett's tactics
and endeavor to tire his huge antagonist
out. Considerable interest is already be-
| ing taken in the proposed contest by
sporting men and bets are being offered
on both sides If the contest should take
place 1t would undoubtedly be the sport
| ing event of the season and the gate re-
ceipts would be something handsome.
