DISOWNED BY DORSEY
FUGITIVE FoULTZ PASSES UP
CAPTURED NEPHEW.

Shades OF Lecocq and memoirs of Sher-
lock Holmes. The local police force is UP
against the final and ultimate in the way
of insults. AT headquarters the officials
fret and fumes. and on their beats the
humble patrolmen wear a sad and
chastened air. Ever and anon they pause
to scratch the itching left calf with the
willing right toe and glover gloomily
and suspiciously at the casual passerby.
For Dorsey Foultz has been heard from
again.
Last night Policeman Money of the
eighth precinct attempted to pinch, jug.
nab, hook. nip and otherwise take into
custody one George Shreeves. colored,
suspected of purse snatching. assault and
other high crimes and misdemeanors IN
The District of Columbia. George OBJ
jected and grand row ensued, in which
most of Mr.. Moneys uniform was carved
from his frame while, with billy, black
jack and revolver butt the policeman
played the Wacht am Rhein and other
popular airs on Shreeves' thought box.
After il was all over and MIR. Money.
clad iii arnica salve and bath robe. was
relating his narrative of the festivities to
the sergeant at No s, 1t was discovered
that George. was nephew of Dorsey
FoultZ. Whereupon the reserves express
ed much interest in the prisoner and
laudable desire to take out of his hide all
the mixed and mingled wrongs inflicted
upon the helpless force by the family of
FOultZ.
Dorsey's Aerogram.
But the climax came this morning when
the following wireless message. addressed
to Maj. Richard Sylvester. and in which
the original spelling had been carefully
preserved, showing the accuracy and eff
cacy of the aerogram, was received at
police headquarters:'
