FOUGHT TWO OFFICERS.
Taylor and Naghel Injured by Dis
charged Sailor.

A little before II o'clock last night
Officer Naghel heard a sound of loud
kicking on L street near Third. He
found two men, one of whom was en-
gagged in trying to kick in the door of a
disreputable house there.
The men were informed that Naghel
was an officer, and that seemed TO en-
rage one of them, and he started in to
fight Naghel, and caught hold of his
hand in such manner that he could not
get his club
In the melee that ensued he succeeded
in injuring Naghel rather severely on
the right hand. Just then Officer Tay-
lor appeared on the scene, and the man
attacked him and raised lump on his
right knuckles as big as walnut Tay-
lor managed to get at his club, and had
to use it rather severely before the man
could be subdued
At the station the prisoner gave his
name as William Fisk 1t appears that
he had a week ago completed his three
years service in the United States navy.
and was discharged from the United
States man-of-war Oregon. During the
| last six months of his service he had
had no shore leave, and the liberty he
had enjoyed since had been too much
for him, and he had begun to indulge
rather freely. He will appear in the
Police Court to-day to answer to the
charge of disturbing the peace.

looks after the Southern Pacific switch
near the police station, was found last
evening in a daZed condition near his

given to his wound he was taken to the
Railroad Hospital on the switch engine

of his condition.
