Charge Being Placed Against Him

As q young man from Flemingsburg
was passing through Maysville one
day recently en- route to another city
he was approached by q Maysville po-
liceman and placed under arrest with
out any cause whatever, It is said.
Under protest, he was taken to Jail
and allowed to remain there about
three days when he was released, with
no charge whatever placed against
him. It is claimed by some to be a
case Of mistaken identity. but as the
officer was dismissed from service a
few days later for alleged intoxication
possibly that might throw some light
on the mistreatment which the Flem-
ingsburg boy was compelled to under
go at the hands Of an insolent officer
who refused to receive any explana-
ton. II there is any recourse to the
officers bondsmen there may be
