has been known TO employ proiane and inde-
cent anguage on the streets and to reck-
lessly fire his revolver while on duty.
They say he has annoyed the people by his
peculiar" actions. He arrested one young
man at wedding, charging him with pro-
family, when everybody present protested
that the man was innocent. The prisoner was
convicted in the police court upon the testi-

conclusively shown that he was unjustly
charged. Duyall's removal is asked for, and
the matter is in the hands of Major Moore.
