PatroIman Pendleton was on duty at
the corner of Eighteenth and Franklin
Streets at midnight and Mr.. Hulcher was
coming on duty. He saw the officer and
in a spirit of fun picked up cantaloupe
and threw it at him. His aim was good
and the melon struck it's mark fair. He
went on to the station, where he was to
go on duty at l o'clock. at which time
Pendleton would go off.
When the hour of one arrived Pendle-
ton went to the station. and while the
shift was being made let fall the general
remark that the man who hit him with
a cantaloupe was a dirty cur. He then
started on home.
Hulcher heard the remark and in a few
minutes asked the desk sergeant to excuse
him. He was excused and proceeded to
follow the other officer. Overtakins him
at the corner of Nineteenth and Frank

Pendleton replied that he had, and that
he meant what he said.
