Police Omcer Accused.

The Buck Mountain correspondent of
Weatherly Herald has the following in
Saturdays issue of that paper: mike
Sindick, our constable, was at Frceland
on business last Sunday. While there
he was arrested by one of the special
police of that place, for what reasons
we do not know. While going up to the
squire's office the officer wanted Mike to
give him S. and he would let him go,
but Mike is not as green as he looks.
He went to the squire's Office and when
he stated his story he was left go. This
must be new way for some of the Off
GERS of that place to make pocket
money. If so, l would advise them to
stop it Immediately before they are
caught"
Constable Sindick: was there on the
day mentioned and was arrested by
Special Officer Louis Hess. He was
given hearing by Burgess Gallagher,
who found him guilty on the officers
testimony and fined him SIS, which was
paid by Freeland gentleman. In con-
versation with several people here after
his release Sindick asserted that the
officer offered him his release for S. and
that he refused the proposition. Mr..
Hess should now give his version of the
affair, as the allegation is serious one
and he cannot afford to let it go un-
