Patroman Charles Neuls last even
Ing arrested a slightly intoxicated man,
who had drawn a revolver on the bar
tender at the Jackson house on Franklin
avenue. He tried to duplicate his feat
when the patrolman arrested him, but
Neuls was too quick. and had him Sc
cure before the weapon was half way
out of his pocket.
The fellow had entered the hotel, en-
joyed couple Of drink and then start
ed for the door. Hold on a minute,
there's fifteen cents due the house, "
remarked the bartender, and the
stranger turned with snarl and point
ed revolver at him.
There's my coin. Is 1t good?" he
remarked. Patrolman Neuls was noti-
fled of the excitement in the hotel, and
started across the street, to attend to
the matter. At his approach the man
with the gun started down Franklin
avenue, and Neul's followed.
AS he approached him. the man sud-
denly turned. and his hand darted to
his pocket. The patrolman sprang on
him and wrenched the revolver away.
He was taken to the Center street sta
tion, and will be given a hearing this
