a Crowd.
WILLIAM SHULTZ BUTTED IN
ON ARREST.
Demanded That Citizen Release His
Drunken Comrade Who Did
The Damage.

William II Schultz, sailor attach
ed to the torpedo boat Holland was
this morning fined 81 and costs by
Justice Charles G.. Feldmeyer, for
creating disorder on Maryland ave-
nue last night about s o'clock.
The arrest of Schultz was made by
Mr.. Ashby Stinohcomb. who later
turned his prisoner over to Round
Sergeant Charles 0berry. Some time
before Shultz's arrest ali unknown
sailor, who is described as rather be-
low the medium height, was standing
in front of Brooks & Barton's shoe
store on Main street with a friend
Whether the small Jackie was dared
to the act by his companion or not is
not known, but he suddenly doubled
up his fist and drove it through the
plate glass window of the shoe store.
An exciting chase, led by Mr.
George q. Barton and Leon Welch, a
clerk in the Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company's store, then began. The
taller of the two sailors dropped out
as his friend lodged up the alleyway
by Smiths bakery. The pursuers,
however, followed the window smash
er who led them up Cornhill street TO
State Circle and thence down East
street. Here he was captured by
some citizen who afterwards made
himself modestly scarce. A crowd
soon collected and the young sailor
was surrounded by q regular mob
when Shultz loomed up. He demand
ed of the citizen his authority for
making the arrest. To this, whoever
the brave substitute cop was, replied
that he had none, so it is said. Shultz
then demanded that he release the
sailor, and this the citizen Immediate
ly did.
The destructive sailor then stood
not upon the order of his going, but
went at once He dashed around the
Circle to the head of Maryland aveune,
down (which he sped, followed by
goodly crowd When he reached the
allewyay between Magruder's branch
store and Schmidt's tailor shop he
turned in and was lost to sight.
Shultz then took the middle of the
street, and with the evident intention
of delaying matters all around and
giving his friend chance to get even
further away, announced that he
could whip the town, issuing a special
invitation to any three men in the
crowd which had gathered to step
out and face him. After several min
utes of this disorder, he then pro-
oeeded down Maryland avenue to
near the corner of Prince George
street, where Mr.. Stinehcomb nabbed
him and held him until the arrival
of Round Sergeant Oberry.
The smaller sailor had, in the
mean time, gotten clear away and
a close search of the lots in the neigh
borhood failed to rout him out. Chief
of Police George Hahn went to the
Naval Academy authorities this morn
ing and asked that the sailor, who
ever he was, be turned over to them.
The sailors at the Santee and others
assigned to the Academy were muster
ed before the Chief, but he was un-
able to identify the window breaker
At the hearing this morning Shultz
willingly took his own medicine, but
refused to aid in the Identification of
the real cuIprit, saying that he really
did not know whether the man he
had rescued from the citizen was even
white or black, but had only inter
ferred because he overheard someone
say that jackie had been arrested.
