SHORT ARM JAB
USED IN COURT
Deputy Sheriff and City Detective
Fight One Round with No De-
cision-Judge on Bench
Spectator

Deputy Sheriff Van Fleet and City De
tcctive Hosick enlivened the dull mono
.cny of criminal court proceedings yes
tcrday with a short but fast single round
bout.
Van Fleet was taking the place of the
regular court bailiff and while leading q
pl isoner to the ante room encountered
Hosick, who stood near the door.
Get out of the way" demanded the
deputy.
II am an officer and have a right here,
Hosick is said to have replied.
Without another word Van Fleet aban-
doned his prisoner and led off with his
right for the detectives jaw.
Hosick ducked clevery, and at the
same time landed a short arm jab on his
opponents ribs.
After sparring for an opening they de-
cided to clinch, and in the bear hug Ho-
sick's collar and tie were torn from his
SHIRT and ne presented a rather decollete
appearance when a moment later some
of the spectators called time and sepa-
rated them.
Judge Smith stood on tiptoe and viewed
the melee ~Narently with a keen relish,
and most of the court attendants crowded
to the scene.
Deputy Sheriff Claude Matthewson, who
stood close by guarded the retreat of the
prisoner and prevented his escape after
ha had been released by Van Fleet
The prisoner had just been sentenced to
five years in San Quentin, but he made
no effort to get away.
Not until admonished by the court did
the excited spectators resume their seats
and quiet was once more restored.
