An Information was filed IN the su-
perior court by Chief OF Police Schev-
ers last night against ]. g. stepler,
charging the defendant with the mis-
demeanor Of interfering with Officer
John Tigue, while that patrolman
was attempting to arrest a stranger
BY the name OF Herman Metz at
Eighth and Main streets.
Stepler. according to witnesses,
crossed Main street from the north
side after Metz had fallen to the
pavement In front of the Golden Rule
store. and while officer T1gue was
trying to wrest his club from the fall
en- man, Stepler stepped up and 1t is
alleged, struck Tigue blow on the
head.
The patrolman put his man in the
police wagon and continued to the
station ignoring the blow that stepler
had struck him. Bystanders cautioned
the officer to keep his head when he
was hit and Tigue said that he had
no intention of using violence on his
assailant whom the police and others
state, was disinterested party in
the arrest Of Metz.
| After Metz had been taken to the
police station, Stepler went to the sta
ton and Officer Tigue noticing him
there asked him If he was the one
who had interfered while the arrest
was being made, and had kicked him.
Stepler, it is said, replied with an
oath mo, hit you with that" dis
| playing his .lenched fist.
The chief angered that one of the
officers should be assaulted, filed in
formation Immediately against Step.

velopes he was peddling. After leaving
the store and going to rs res
taurant, the department store called
the police and Officer Tigue went to
arrest the man.
! When Metz saw the officer he ex-
claimed, Il haven't done anything, .
and started to run down Main. He
slipped at the corner OF Eighth and
when the officer stopped to pick him
up Metz seized the club which Tigue
