Sacramento Fishermen Cut Po-
liceman Wilson.
TWO ASSAILANTs ARRESTED
Drunken Sacramento Fishermen As.
sauIt Officer Wilson With Knives,
and Cut His Coat Completely on
and Knock Him Down In a Saloon.

A disgraceful row occurred in swill-
town last evening in which Police Of
ficed Wilson was brutally attacked by
a gang OF toughs from Sacramento,
who arrived In the city yesterday TO
fish on the Columbia river. They were
making a disturbance and Wilson
cautioned them TO keep quiet. One
OF them invited Wilson into a saloon
TO drink. which he refused, and they
called him indecent names and shook
their fists In his face, He again eau
toned them TO be quiet, when one OF
them struck Wilson In the face. Will
son pulled his club and gave the tough
a good clubbing. At the same time
four or five other men pulled out their
knives and started IN 10 cut the officer.
They cut his coat completely of from
him. but aside from few scratches
Wilson was unlnjured. He pulled his
gun and backed up toward the Anchor
saloon and went inside, followed by
the mob. A Greek known as "Jackass
Joe. took the gun away from Wilson
and another Greek knocked him down,
Before Wilson could recover the
murderous assallauts ran out Of the
door. Chief Hallock and several po-
lice officers went down and arrested
Jackass Zoe and one other man and
will no doubt arrest the others today.
There is no punishment too severe
for these murderous Williams and It Is
pity that Wilson vas not able to use
his gun. It is to be hoped that they
will be put behind the bars and have
