Arrest, Yesterday morniog's issue of the Rapubli- cun contained a vileand vicious attack upon E. Rosewater, signed by Paul Vander- voort, 100 full of scandaland too foul to be reprouced. r, Roseiwater's attention was called to the attackupon arriving ut his oftice, and he at once proceeded to the office of the county attorney und filed & complaint_against Van- dervoort and Wilcox, of the Republican. Atnoon Mr. Rosewater sworo out is war- rantin the polico court forthe arrestof Paul Vandorvoort and J. C. Wilcox, pro- ©. Wilcox's prietor of the Republican, on the charge of criminal libel. ‘The complaint was sworn to before his honor, Judge Berka, and Mr. Rosewater pro- ceeded to his oflice, sccompanied part way by a reporter, At tho postofiica corner the reporter left Mr. Rosewater and bearded the Vander- voort in his lair, to ascertain what he had to say about the complaint. He was ushered into Mr. Vandervoort's oftice, and found nim lying back 1u his chair, his sturdy legs across the top of vhe desis. “‘I'hat was a scorcher you gave the editor of Tue Bze," suggested the reporter. Mr. Vandervoort cast a suspicious side- long look at the reporter aud laboriously took his feet from the desk. ‘'hen he meditated for awhile, which gave the reporter time to think that if heannounced his paper he would be accorded scant courtesy, At this critical moment there was a flurry in the next room. A door slammed and Mayor Broatch burst into the room so sud- denly that the nmates jumped. He was vreathless from excitement and fast walking, ‘‘Hil” he exclaimed, *‘I was iun going up to the police court and I saw itosewater and some one else come out, 1 knew somethiug was up 80 I went 1n, and— what do you think!—he’s sworn out a war- raat for the arrest of you and Wilcox ! Mr. Vandervoort stared at Mr., Broatch and Mr. Broatch continued to prance about the room, saying: “Why that dirty little whelp, Rosewater, Dayis and soveral other gentlemen and inyself have iull. been talking about bringing suit for ibel against him. (The dashes roprosent language that would have hardly been fit for the famol “'ministerial convention.” It was botter fitted for the slums.) ‘Then Mr. Vandervoort said, “‘I this. What is the best thing to do? 'shaw,” replied Mr. Broatch, *all you have to do, after you are arrested, is to give bail aud you will be relcasea. Of course the warrant had to be issued from the pelice court but it is & county matter, 1f it wi ‘matter I would pardon you out too quick,” i +Well,” said Mr, ,Vandervoort, T guess we had better be lmklu‘vnuz for some bonds- wen,” “That's s, said Broatch, “I'll tell you what we'll do; godown gnd get Wilcox, and fiud Gon Gallagher, 44 4o and deliver your- selves up and uvold #rrest.

Soon after leaving the. postofice Froatch and Vandervoort met ileox, and @ little later Chuief of Police Seavey met the three, and, exhibiting a pair of warrants which he took from his vocket, placed Vandervoort aua Wilcox under arrest. The cbief then marched his prisoners over to jhe police station, accompanied by Broatch, who by this time was uling orazy mad, partly at the arrest of his pals, but orincipally at having totally exnausted his vocabulary of horribly vile mouthed invectives which he had been hurling forth at Tug Bee. s By the time Wilcox und Vandervoort had reached the police bar both were pantin aud pufing like 8 pair of oxen trying to pul & plow through a tough row of Illlll.lsm Al preliminaries were waived and Judge Berka lost not & moment in placing- the two risoners under bouds of $300 each Lo appear him sgaia on Jaouary 0 at 2 p. m.
