A Coming Together Of Orderly and
 We'll Meaning People.

Yesterday was rather a strenuous day for peace officers generally. The ! story of how the sheriff his deputies the citizen reserves and the precincr court were held at bay by a recaIcit- ! rant corner groceryman is told in an other column. This will deal with a similar revolution in which the police force was concerned.
 For some time there has beer. d tend
 ency by some business men to disre- gard the law regulating the hanging of
 signs across the sidewalks and the police have had several bad half hours lately, though they have always won 1 their point. Yesterday Marshal Kinney caught Chris Sanichas in the act of
 hanging d sign in front of his place of
 business that the marshal believed 10
 be a violation Of the ordinance. He
 told him it would have to come down.
 MT. Sanichas replied that there were
 other signs similarly hung in the city
 and directed the marshal to remove
 them first, after which he would take
 his down. The officer replied that he
 had not appeared for the purpose of engaging in an argument and then re-
 peated his statement that the sign
 should come down, if not at the in stance oi the owner, then through the initiative of the marshal. Sanichas made no move and the marshal did As he mounted the stepladder the candyman closed it under him. where upon the officer stepped back and placed him under arrest.
 MT. Sanichas al first refused to ac- company the officer, who then took hold of him, but found him glued to the sidewalk. Then they clinched the re- suit of which was that the officer found he could move the man but not gracefully or with facility, and event. ually they both rolled over into the street. The marshal asked a passerby to summon Officer Moore by telephone to his assistance and in a moment he was there. By that time the marshal and the dealer in sweets had recovered their hats and were negotiating in more friendly manner. Sanichas want ed d lawyer and was given permission to phone for one. He did so and the lawyer told him to accompany the of 1:cer
 At this stage Sanichas suggested a bond and the marshal told him that was a matter for the acting recorder. Justice JOhnstone, to consider and agreed to accompany him there rather than to jail if he preferred it. But MT. Sanichas was not disposed to go any where until advised to do so by his at torney, when he went peaceably enough. The size of the bond being fixed he prepared to draw a check when the court informed him that only cash money was accepted for bonds At this he depIored the trouDIe he was being put to and told the court he felt the marshal was prosecuting him. The interpOsed to say that he had no such purpose or wish. all he wanted was to prevent the hanging of signs in violation of the law and that if Mir Sanichas was willing to return and take down his sign. he would withdraw the charge against him. The latter turned to his attorney again for advice and was told that the proposition was eminently fair. whereupon he accepted 1t and the erstwhile beIligerents re- turned to the soda water emporium. where they buried their enmities in al cooling dTaUght.
