CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
James Pagan Under Bond to Appear
in Police Court.

James Fagan, eighteen years of age, who
was arrested yesterday afternoon by Po-
licemen McQuade and Montgomery upon a
charge of assauiting Charles Watson, a
small colored boy, at the corner of 4th and
K streets earlier in the afternoon was not
presented in the Police Court today, as the
prosecuting witness was unable to be in at
tendance.
According to the police Pagan was pass
Ing down K street. where a crowd of colored
boys were assembled. Some one made a
remark relative to him. SO it is alleged,
with the result that he seized Watson, who
was near him, and. .after shaking him,
kicked him in the side. A large crowd of
colored people collected and. the police
claim, were determined to do Pagan bodily
harm. The drawn clubs of the officers
calmed them considerably.
At the second precinct station Pagan was
compelled to deposit $50 collateral for his
appearance in court today. Watson was
taken to the Emergency Hospital, where, 1t
is stated. he will probably be fully recov-
cred within a few days. When the case
was explained to the assistant United
States attorney at the Police Court building
today the collateral given at the station
house was allowed to stand until Pagan is
called for trial.
