Geneva. Feb. 9.--One of the most
desperate characters that ever drifted
into Geneva was swarthy little
French hobo and whisky fiend, who
way freight where he broke a seal on
merchandise car.
His reputation had preceded him and
he was at once recognized by Agent
Edward and the train crew as the fell
low who wrecked the Gainesville de-
pot on the Northwestern and who
ruthlessly pounded the Hampton mar
shall last week while resisting arrest.
He was taken to the county Jail AMI
locked up, where he amused himself
and terrorized the inmates of the
county bastile by breaking the furni-
ture and knocking out the windows.
Sheriff Wolf found it necessary to
give the F'renchman two hose drench-
lngs with ice water through the bars
of his cell before he became finally
subdued. AS soon as the way freight
pulled out the agent phoned up to
Marshal Weitzel, who went at once to
the depot. The sight of the marshals
star threw the anarchist into frenzy
and he made mad rush for our mar
shall. who lodged the full force of this
rush and they fell from the depot
platform on the rail in clinch. Weitzel
pounded him into submission and pull
ed him into the depot and bought him
ticket for Ackley, thinking the cas-
lest way to dispose Of him was to pass
him along. With the ticket in his
possession he again became defiant and
made his way to the drug store and
became SO disorderly in his demands
for booze that Marshal Weitzel found
it necessary to display the handouts
and use considerable force to get him
to the depot where he was placed
aboard of No. 2. Before making his
departure he made speech to a crowd
of over one hundred that had collect
ed and avered that the time was close
at hand when men of his type would
show the officers of the law their
places and where to head in.
