which Is appended below:
"A lively tilt occurred on East Main
street IN front of the Columbian block at
about 4 O'Clock Yesterday afternoon be-
tween VIM. Wardjou, organizer for the

of who was man named Sam Brothers.
lust how the difficulty started no one
seems to know. the first indication that
anything unusual was afoot being the
sight of Wardion in the hands of the of
hcers, and refusing to accompany them.
The officers stated that Wardjon had in
suited them and abused them. This he
denied. BY this time crowd had COL

ance went with the officers to Jail. Here
he was left till the arrival of the sheriff.
A revolver was taken from his pockets.
but when the sheriff arrived, Wardion
said at first that he had had no weapon.
Meantime the deputies had departed,
and finally they declined to swear to a
complaint. and Wardjon was released
There seemed to be no one, either, to
make complaint against him for carrying
concealed weapons, though the offense
was clear.
The affair produced good deal of ex-
citement on the streets, aud Wardjon has
sworn out complaints against the officers
for false arrest. The officers stated that
they were tired of being insulted and
made the arrest to keep him quiet.
Sam Brothers this morning swore to
three complaints before the district at
torney against Wardjon, charging him
with carrying concealed weapons, disturb
ing the peace and resisting an officer. He
charges that Wardjon used names toward
him that were beyond all endurance.
