Until now we have considered you to
have sufficient intelligence to guide
you In the exercise Of this highest pre-.

seems to me that Mr.. Nescy must have

to hear what he said, and he placed the
swearer under arrest.
But Bouldin had no idea of being oe-
prived Of his liberty, for he fought tie
officer like q tiger, tearing his clothing and
breaking his watch chain in addition to
tearing his badge from him. Officer Rrier-
ly reached the scene of the trouble in time
to assist his brother officer, and Bouldin
was soon subdued. Soon afterward he was
asleep on an iron cot In a police cell, and
this morning he appeared before Judge
Miller for profanity and assault. 1t vas

colored men to Jail for assaults on po-
lcemen and he thought others would take
warning, but Bouldin had evidently rot

that he should remember nothing Of the

fine Of so was imposed.
