eral arrests.
4 Local Celebrity Again in Evidence.
The only episode which really MARI.
ed the visit here Of the transport train
and which has cast some reelection on
Denison, was the action Of one of our
local celebrities, who on more than
one occasion has. been in the police
court.
The young man in question, and who
we are sorry to say, was only recently
discharged from the army, went down
Ito Washington park Sunday with the
evident intention of starting some
trouble: He made some remarks to
the visiting soldiers which were any
thing but complimentary, but the SOL
diers bore the insult rather than have
trouble. Sunday night down on Broad
way, he met some of the visiting SOL
diers and again picked a quarrel with
them, calling them vile names. The
soldiers resented this and for time it
was feared that the local celebrity
would pay dearly for the insult, but
he managed to make his escape, but
not until he had been struck in the eye
by one of the soldiers. Officers OF the
convoy rushed to the scene, and order
ed the soldiers to return to the park,
which they did at once.
1t is to be regretted that this Incl.
dent happened for it has been com.
mented upon by some of the daily pa,
