DISMISSED FROM THE FORCE.
ROckaway Policeman Found in
an Alleged DisreputabIe Resort.

ROCKAWAY BEACH. July 17.-Po-
hceman Sheppard has been dismissed
from the police force by Capt. Allen.
and threatens to institute legal action,
with view of being reinstated.
Capt. Allen received a complaint con-
corning a resort kept by Albert Josephs,
a former life-saver. He detailed Shap-
pard to investigate. His report stated
the place was proper one.
Capt. Allen, In company with Sergt
Walsh, then visited the place and found
Policeman Shappard there. with his coat
off, enjoying himself Capt. Allen de-
cided that the resort was disreputable
one. and questioned the policeman about
his presence there.
Sheppard, who is a man of family,
took the ground that, as he was off
duty, he was privileged to go where he
pleased, and that 1t was none of the
Captains business. The Captain re-
lieved him of his shield and dismissed
him from the force.
Sheppard claims that he was visiting
the place. which, he says. Is not dis
reputable. and that the Captain awaited
himself of an opportunity to crafty his
personal luminosity against him.
