pion broadswordsman who arrived in
the city a couple of days ago, along
with a friend who gave the name of
Louis Diversion. is languishing in the
city Jail, charged with assault. the
specific charge being insulting ladies.
The two men were seen on the street
last evening by Detective Sheets and
Sergeant Janney. apparently making
themselves obnoxious to some young
women. The officers followed for two
or three blocks, and according to them,
De Malchin and his companion re-
peatedly forced their attentions upon
the ladies' going so far as to walk in
between them and make Objectionable
remarks When the officers thought
they had secured enough evidence
against them. they grabbed De Malchin
and Diversion and marched them to the
citv hall.
The Russian did not take his arrest
coolly He got into an argument with
Detective Sheets and upon being con-
tradicted, the latter slapped him. 1t
is presumed the detective will receive
De Malchin's card today.
Later in the evening. Diversion gave
SO bail. while the champion remained
in prison in default of the requisite
amount.
