The olficer then looked around and saw the. priso- ner With a 22 calliber Tovalver poured towards him, and a scuffle ensued for the posscs- sion of the weapon. While the officer and the prisover were still clinched, Sergeant Nokes, and Officers Work and Williams came to the assistance of Sheehan, The prisoner hung on to Sheehan desperately, and it was not until Sergeant Nokes dealt him a blow in the jaw and Officer Work struck him gcross the hand that helet go. Meanwhile Officer Wil- Hams urrested two colored women, Rachael Griffin and Sarah Hawkins, and Ofticer Work arrested Sarab Shanklin, and all four prisoners were locked up at the first precinct station. In the Police Court Sarah Shanklin was charged with vagrancy, and sent down. The other two women were charged with disorder.y conduct and fined $5 each, JOHNSON AS A WOMAN WHIPPER, Sarah Shanklin and Charlie Johnson were ar- raigned, charged with assaulting Jennie Wood, ‘and Johnson was also charged with assaulting the officer. ennie Wood testified that this morning Sarah Shanklin came to her house and broke in the door and began beating her, aud while she was so engaged Johnson came in with a Pistol in bis hand und. threatened tp kill her if she did not keep quiet orif she made an out- ery.

A STAR reporter was informed that the next requisition for salaries for the officials of the Alabama claims court wil be presented on the 26th inst.,and that First Controller Durham has determined to stop the paymentof the salary of Mr. Creswell, counsel for the commis- sion. The ground upon which the controller takes this action, it is stated, is that as none of the officers of thé court are bonded, the govern- ment can cole protect itself for any improper disbursements by holding their salaries; that improper expenditures have been authorized by Counsel Creswell, and that the government hag the right to reimburse liselt for any money unlawfully paid out by withholding Mr. Cres- well’s salary. In other words, the salary of the counsel is to be held up until it can be de- termined whether or not Mr. Creswell is respon- sible tor any of the disbursements which the fist controller maintains were not authorized y law. —————+e+_______ ‘Two Divorces Granted.
