group. The boy ran to him with the
tale that Sullivan had hit him ana
there was nothing else for the officer
to do but to take John l.. to jail
Once in a restaurant John l.. en-
gagged in friendly repartee with q
pretty waitress who was serving MN
and some friends. At the conclusion
of the meal John l.. gave the waitress
q S. tip. She thanked him very sweet
" and as John L. was passing her by
to go toward the door he gave her
q playful pat on the cheek. The man
ager of the restaurant who had read
stories about the alleged brutality OF
John l.. Sullivan. mistook the pat as
a blow on the waitresss face. John
l.. was hitting women! All. SO the
manager, without waiting for details
or an explanation. rushed out into the
street and yelled for policeman. And
that's how it happened that John L.
became accused of hitting q waitress.
Many years ago John l.. was en-
gagged to play the part OF simon Lee

Cabin shows. For n number of weeks
all went we'll But one day, accord
"Unclc Tom, the pugilist became too
realistic as the slave driver. The
actor claimed that John l.. dashed
him with entirely too much vim with
the whip and went into court and
sued John l.. charging him with ds-
sault. Perhaps the actor needed a
little puh!icity-ond he got 1t at John
l.. S expense.
Some wears before the death or
John L. he was arrested ON the charge
Of striking a street car conductor. The
story was noised around that John L.,
in an intoxicated condition, had
boarded a car and at once picked
fight with the conductor. But the
real facts are at variance. The truth
is that John l.. wanted to board the
car. accompanied by his dog. The
conductor, one Of those officious in
diViduals told John L.. it couldn't We
donc---that the rules OF the company
forbade dogs riding on cars.
John l.. had just about decided that
he would walk when the dog made
up his mind to ride. SO doggie
jumped onto the platform of the car
and that was enough for John l..
The conductor got 'his'--lnd John
