AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Local News Gathered West of ROcI.
Creek.

There was lively struggle on the Ter
leytown road, a short distance from the
village, about 2:15 o'clock this morning, in
which John F. Kicks, colored man, whose
age is given as sixty years, and Policeman
Ward were the principals. The policeman
noticed a figure walking along the road
with a bag in his hand, carrying some
bulky material. Calling upon him to stop,
the policeman investigated and found a
quantity of wire. The man claimed to have
found the bag on the road between the
power house of the Georgetown and Ten
leytoWn railroad and the Woodley Lane
road. He at first refused to accompany the
officer, and getting down on mis- knees, iii
the middle of the road, prayed to the
Lord for strength to whip the cop. He
proved to be no mean antagonist, despite
his age, and struggled desperately with
his captor. To protect himself the police
man used his club, but in the struggle he
lost it and also his hat. A number Of times
the prisoner was thrown, and every time
he arose with the policeman on his back
and started away. Finally his strength be-
came exhausted, and he decided to accom-
pany the officer.
A resident of the locality happened along
at this time, and he came into town and
informed the station keeper that the patrol
wagon was wanted. The wagon went cut
ana met the policeman and prisoner a short
distance outside OF Georgetown, the hour
being o'clock when it returned to the sta
ton. The prisoner was taken to the
Georgetown University Hospital, where his
head was bandaged.
