voice. Mr.. Mushrush says that he re-
monstrated with the boys for using such
language in the presence OF ladies and
that one OF them became angered and
grabbed him by the neck and threw him
violently to the floor. The soldiers
then hastily left the room.
little later a phone came 70 the
station that there was man at the
corner of 14Sth and Olcott who vas
carrying a blackjack. Captain Geisking
and Officer German responded and went
to the place designated where one of the
men assembled there was pointed out
as the man who had weapon.
AS the officer approached the man.
the latter whipped out a revolver and
pointing II squarely at the officer told
him not to take another step or he
would fill him full of lead. German
then showed his star and told him he
was an officer.
The man replied that he knew German
was an officer but that he would shoot
if German took another step in his di-
rection.
Captain Geisking saw that the man
was bound to make trouble and think
ing that possibly Germans life was in
jeojardy. he pulled his gun. The des-
perado then turned and tied. AS he
ran. however. he fred back and the bull

One man present at the time of the
trouble said that he knew the gtlnr1an
and that it was Dan Stormes. a soldier
of Company F. Indiana. in civilian
clothes.
The matter is under investigation to-
day.
