 But Without Effect

 Struggle on Street.
 The arrest of Sylvester and Rudolph was the result of trouble which arose in Slapski's saloon on Main street dur ing the course of which Rudolph is al- legged to have manhandled SylVesteh to the extent of cutting h.m about the face and spilling blood on the clothing of both men. Sylvester complained to Officer Stadler, who went with the com mplainant to SlapsNis saloon In the doorway of the cafe they met Ru- dolph, and when pointed out by Syl- vester he made a swing at the police man but missed. Officer Stadler tus- sled with him and landed him with his face on the bar room floor The man under arrest continued to resist all the way down Commercial street and at Valentine Bollerer's saloon the officer and his man went to the side walk with Rudolph on the top. Turn ine the tables Officer Stadler handed Sylvester to Officer Albert Sharpe and then alone with his man had little diff ficulty in forcing him, in spite of his objections, through the entrance to the police station
 Fought in Police Station.
 Although he had no chance of es- caping, once inside the station Ru- dolph continued to resist, Officers Stadler, Sharpe and kozloslli testi fed Officer Kozloski saw some of the trouble from his post on Main street but did not take part in the ar rests as Patrolman Albert Sharpe had started to assist his fellow officer.
 Tom Dunn, a witness for the state, laid the blame for the whole difficulty on an innocent plain drunk who was sitting in the prisoners pen waiting 10 come to trial. Tom, having been late for court, didn't have time to brush up as to who the principals were. and picked up the wrong man. he later ad- mitted On the stand he insisted that he had seen the plain drunk forcibly resist Officer Stadler.
 Drank Bcvo Only.
 Asked if he had anything to of fer in his own behalf, Rudolph ac- cused the policeman of attempting to put chains on him in the cafe door way without giving him a chance to come to headquarters of his own ac- cord. He denied having been under the influence of liquor, adding that he could get nothing but Bevo in the Main street saloon. 'I was in the army for two years," he said, and I made a pretty good record. No one ever put chains on me there and won't let anyone do it here"
 Admits He's Wise Man.
 Judge Meskill reprlmanded the ac- cused for his conduct toward a police man and to show his repentant spirit Rudolph added "Yes, sir,' to every re- mark of the court, even when told that he thought he knew more than the the policeman or anyone else
 Loses Both Ways.
 Realizing that he was coming out second best in a battle with John Bar leycorn, Henry Kendron paid friend to take him to his room in the Hotel Bassett last night. Shortly after 12:10 he was picked up in the door way of the hotel and brought to the police station on charge of drunk enness. He guessed this m orning that his friend failed to carry out the terms of the contract and brought him as far as the door of the hotel onlv Judge Me eskill imposed a fine of S and costs.
