Mix.up.

In an attempted arrest Of Roy
Wine by Harmed Steady, Of Manning
ton, a special B. s o. policeman, at
the B. s. o. Tuesday morning just
after No. 3 came in, the presence of
Constable G. B. Bradford ayerted
an impending riot which promised to
assume serious proportions. In lining
up the cabs Stealey ordered Roy's car
riage to be moved on the company
grounds and executed his order by
driving 1t off, himself. Roy resented
the otiicer's action and argued the
question with him. According to the
oHlcer's statement he abused him.
Finally Stealey undertook to arrest
him. Roy resisted by pulling back,
but Stealey succeeded in getting his
prisoner rs far as Baltimore street.
They scufiled and fell. Steady pulled
out black jack and raped Roy
lightly over the head and shoulders.
Frank Wine interferred and, after re-
ceiylng rap or two with the black
jack, struck Stealey on the back Of the
head, infiictinga bad wound. BY that
time half dozen we're taking part,
but Mr.. Bradford appeared and COM
manded peace. Roy and Frank were
given a hearing Tuesday afternoon be-
fore Mayor Thompson, the former
upon the charge Of resisting an officer
and the latter for assaulting the Of
ficer. Roy was acquitted and Frank
fined So. The officer was at fault in
not exhibiting his badge of authority.
