MT. PLEASANT.
POLICEMAN IS SUSPENDED
Claimed That Dogs Were Shot by
Cecil And Refused to Accept His
Statement to The Contrary-.By-
ISLANDERS Pull Irate Pair of.

On last Saturday afternoon great
deal of excitement was caused on our
streets by an assault that was made
on Mr.. Horace Cecil, prominent
farmer and stock raiser. living just
outside of town, by assistant police
man, Lawrence Harris and Constable
C. S. Burns. 1t appears that Harris
and Burns have a pack of fox hounds
and that two of them recently turned
up missing Search for them disclosed
the fact that the dogs were found
dead either on or near Horace Cecil's
place This led Harris and Burns to
conclude that Cecil had killed them.
Meeting Cecil on Main street near
The square on Saturday, Harris ac-
cused him OF having killed the dogs.
This Cecil denied. Harris stated that
the dogs had been shot and Cecil re-
piled that he could show him his gun
and he could see from it that it had
not been shot for weeks. AS near as
the facts can be gotten at, Harris
Ithereupon called Cecil liar and be-
gan striking him with his mace
Burns then got into it and also struck
Cecil several times before bystanders
could interfere Both Harris and
Burns, being peace officers, were
armed with pistols and Harris had his
mace. No pistols were drawn, but
Cecil's friends in explanation of his
having acted solely on the defensive
say that he was wholly unarmed and
knew that both his assailants were
equipped with their official weapons
I which if they drew, he would have nc
chance for his life. Before any Sc
rious damage resulted, Harris anc
Burns we're seized and carried off by
bystanders An almost unanimous ex
preston of indignation was made by
those interviewed in regard to the al
fair that two peace officers who have
the law-given right to bear arms
should assault an unarmed citizen OF
the crowded streets in their own per
sonal quarrel Both Harris and Burns
were arrested and taken before the
City Recorder where they gave bono
for their appearance on Monday wher
they submitted their cases and were
each fined $500.
The Mayor suspended Officer Harris
at once.

"The Chinese burglar is the most
difficult to nab" declared Lecoq, the
detective. 81 might say he is impossi-
bic to nab. When this yellow scoun-
drel goes burgling he goes naked and
covered with oil. and thus he is as
slippery as an eel. But. you say, why
not nab him by the pigtaii. hey? The
answer to that Is that his pigtail Is
done up in Il knot on top Of his head
and stuck full Of needles and hatpins
with the points turned outward. You

oil and with tiny red pricks all over
