Wanted to Beat Mr.. Page

Richard Brown a colored teamster. was
locked up i'm the Third police-station yes
terday. charged with assaulting his en-
ployer, Mr. Charles II. Page. On Thurs
day Mr. Page discharged Brown and re-
tained two dollars out Of his wages to
reimburse himself for fine he had paid
in the Police Court for the negro. who
was recently charged with violating
city ordinance
Brown protested against this, and be-
came very much angered. Yesterday
morning about Z o'clock he went to his
former employers office, at Harrison and
Broad streets, armed with stick, and
demanded the amount which had been
subtraCtcd from his wages. Upon being
ordered out of the place he raised the
stick threatenlngly and said he would
have the two dollars or knock Mr. Page
down. The coal dealer, fearing that the
negro would put hts threat into execution,
gave him the money. After Brown left
the Third district police were notified,
and Sergeant Orange and Policeman
Hulcher arrested the accused on Pine
street.
