Issued Today Against Manager
j. 4. English, of the Theater
No Charges Preferred Against Propri
etor Of The Kentucky
Theator.
THE DUTY OF OFFICERS

Some little excitement was created
last night at the Kentucky theater
during the first part of the minstrel
by the arrival of Deputy U. s. Mar.
shall Sydney Hubbard to locate per-
son for whom he had a warrant.
He claims he had reason TO think
the man was inside, and when he &C
costed Manager ]. E. English, of the
theater, and wanted TO go in and find
out, he was denied admission unless
he paid.
There is some doubt as to the facts
In the case, as the principals seem to
have misunderstood it. Manager En-
glish says he thought it was a subpoe-
ma, while the officer claims he dis
played his credentials and warrant.
The latter intended today to get a
warrant, but did not DO so.
U. S. Commissioner W. A. Gard
ner said In regard TO the matter:
"No complaint has been FLED with
me and no warrant has been issued for
the arrest of Mr.. English, and while
he did not care to discuss a matter
that might come before him officially,
that there was no question but what
Mr.. Hubbard, as deputy marshal, had
the right to enter the opera house and
execute a warrant Of arrest and that
resisting him was an offeDse and pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment.
