POLICE INVESTIGATION.
Which Promises Some Very Interesting
Developments.

1t will be remembered that short time
ago Ofncer Norton of the police force was
suspended on a charge of INSTRUMENTATION,
and after a hearing by the committee on
police was restored to duty with repri-
mand. There the matter was supposed to
have ended. But it seems that statements
have been made by the officer that required
another hearing. and yesterday afternoon
the committee on police was in session for
three hours, adjourniEg at p. m. until 10
a. m. today. The nature of tho statements
that require an investigation and the par
ticulars of the hearing are not given out by
any of the members of the committee. 1t is
limited, however. that they charge number
of officials and ex.officials. some not con-
nected with the police force, with practices
that if true, will create quite a sensation
when made public. At least a dozen in
stances were before the committee at the
hearing yesterday, If not mo1e, some of
them tradesmen of the city.

A flag of truce finally appeared, and the
soldier who bore it was permitted to
approach within 80 feet of the rocks.
There he halted and said that 10 more

for artillery and more soldiers; that the
men then surrounding them had become
SO desperate that unless the twain sur

AVA. The captain wrote = note and
sent it off to the Federal lines by cou-
rier, but could do no more in the matter.
Uncle Ben was given some rations to
make a breakfast of, provided with .
blanket by kind hearted trooper and
instructed to wait for the force which
would be sure to come up within two
or three hours.
Let rs anticipate their coming. As
the fusillade had drawn no reply from
the fort, the enemy at length concluded
that its defenders had been disabled.
They also realized that the sounds of
battle might reach Federal ears and
bring up force to the rescue, and it
was therefore decided to advance upon
the camp without further loss Of time.
As Brayton had predicted, they formed
on the open ground to the south. The
entire force formed in two lines for
a charge, and as q movement or two
showed that they were about ready to
advance Steve quietly remarked:
Il dunno whar JEFF Davis bought this
yere carbine, but it was IA mighty cute
trick in him. She's good for seven shots
as fast as / kin pull trigger, and that
means that sumbody's goin to git hurt.
Yo' IN hold yo'r buckshot till they git
on this side of that bush. How yo' feel
in, Yank?'
"All right"
'Of co'se yo' ar. Yo' ar lookin Jest
as natural as an ole hat! Yere they
cum!''
With a chorus of yells that would
have done credit to a war party of Paw
nees, the enemy broke cover and ad-
vanced at run. They were hardly in
the open before Steve began blazing
away. His fire was fast and deadly,
but it did not check them. 1t was only
when Kenton, who was coolly waiting
for them to pass the bush, let fly both
barrels into them at just the right range
for buckshot to do its best that the
charge was broken, aud every man on
his feet sought safety in precipitate re-
treat.
THAT is awful!'' whispered Kenton
as the smoke blew away and gave them
Q clear sight of the ground.
Lands. but we uns hev licked the
hull southern confedeIacy!' answered
Steve.
at first sight it seemed as if half the
charging force had been wiped out,
but after moment some of those who
had fallen began to creep away to the
shelter of the rocks and bushes. They
were allowed to do this without moles-
tatiCn. Five remained there in plain
sight. however, and not one of them
would ever stand on his feet again.
There was no further movement for half
an hour. The besiegers realized that
they were not strong enough to carry
that fort, even though it held only two
