BIRDS NEST CAUSES
PAINTERS ARREST
POLICEMAN SAID TO HAVE
STRUCK WOMAN
Officer Placed in Bad Light According
to One Story-Gun Is Used
All Because Boys
Took Eggs

H. v. owen, painter livins at 2l66
East Eleventh street, was arrested
last night in front of his home by Pa
trolman H. L. Varey and booked at
the University police station on
charge of battery.
Two widely divergent stories are told
by the principals in the affair and IL
the story of owen and number of
witnesses are correct the policeman is
placed in a bad light.
According to Mr.. Owen the trouble
arose in this manner:
In a tree in front of his house a
knocking bird had a nest and through
out the spring he and his wife nave
been watching the nest to prevent
small boys from robbing or inJurlng It.
Late yesterday afternoon owen no.
ticed two small boys climbing down
from the tree and he asked them what
they were doing in the tree. They ran
when he accosted them and he then
climbed into the tree to see If they
had disturbed the nest. He found that
the eggs had been removed from the
nest and he was just about to descend
from the tree when a man in citizens
clothes, who afterward proved to be
Patrolman Varey, came along and
gruffly demanded to know what he
was doing in The tree.
Asks to See Star
Owen asked who he was and what
it was his business and he replied
that he was an officer. owen then
asked to see his star and the man
threw back his coat. AS owen could
not distinctly see the star he asked
Mrs. Owens, who had just come from
the house to see If the man wore a
star.
Mrs Owen took hold of the officer s
coat and drew the lapel to one side,
when it is alleged, Varey struck her in
the face.
Owen at that jumped from the tree
and attacked the officer and struck
him several blows.
Varey ran until he was able to draw
his revolver from his pocked, when
he compelled Owen to throw up his
hands and took him to the station.
Patrolman Varey tells practically
the same story about the occurrence
in his report to Lieut.. Len,lausen, his
superior officer, except that he made
no mention of his alleged encounter
with Mrs. Owen and stated that Owen
struck him without provocation when
he inquired as to his business in the
tree, the officers having been instruct
ed, 1t seems, to watch the trees in
order to prevent the robbing of birds
nests by anyone.
The case will be investigated in po-
lice court today.
