The Daily Morning Union reported the incident with this headline: ‘* ASSAULT ONOFFICER KILROY, Three Burly Brutes Badly Use Him Up. They Also Raise Cain, Scarcely Stopping at Anything— Strong Sentiment Against Them,”’’ The report continued: One of the most brutal and cowardly assaults ever attempted by young men in this city was the one at about 1 o’clock in the morning. At the time the item was written, the particulars of the outrageous affair were not fully known, but yesterday a reporter investigated the case and no other conclusion can be arrived at but that Charles Dennis, ‘‘Pet’’ Beardsley and James McCluskey, the parties implicated, deliberately and wilfully beat and kicked nightwatchman William Kilroy because he was discharging his duties as an officer of the law. All three of the young men are strong, athletic fellows and the fact that all three jumped upon the faithful is evidence enough that the assault was cowardly in the extreme, He had not the ghost of a chance with them and in his helpless condition he was treated only as a brute would treat a dog. . The Officer Was‘a pitiful sight” yesterday and has not recovered from his injuries and last night he was unable to attend to his duties. and constable Scott took his place, Mr, Kilroy’s version of the disgraceful affair is as follows: “T had seen Beardsley, Dennis and McCloskey around town before the trouble and they were evidently under the influence of liquor. Between 12 and 1 o’clock I walked over to the corner of Pine and Spring Streets with City Trustee Rich and while coming back I heard loudhollering. The three were standing on Lammon’s corner. Later on they moved down Pine Street in front of Turner’s store and commenced to make a racket with the mining car standing on the sidewalk. I shouted to them to desist, when one of them called out; "You are a d----liar."They kept up the noise and I walked a little farther down the walk and again asked them to stop. _ and one of them repeated what he had said before and they kept. rattling the car. I then went down’ to where they were and said: “‘Boys, why do you want to act like this; you are making too much noise; I treat you all pretty well and am not mean and don't want to be after you all the time. “At this juncture McCloskey stepped forward and squared off at me, saying, ‘‘who are you?’’ I told him who I was and then when I saw trouble ahead, I struck McCloskey with my club, One of them then said that I could not use the club on any of them and the next thing I knew I received aterrible blow under the chin and fell over on the sidewalk, I must have been knocked unconscious because the next thing I knew I was lying across the street near Conroy’s saloon with my coat over my head and the crowd was kicking, I said ‘‘my God boys, don’t kill me, you have got the best of it.’’ One of them then said, *“‘We have got you where we want you, when another one said ‘don’t kick him anymore,’’ I then caught hold of a post and managed to draw myself up to my feet and started down the street and fell again on the sidewalk from weakness,’’ The nightwatchman was met by W. H. Tuttle and J, S, Gregory and they led him to theUnion hotel where he was washWhen seen last night none of the accused would give a statement of the affair and from what the officers say it will be seen that it is a wonder that Kilroy was not killed. When the particulars of the. incident became known around town yesterday morning, public sentiment was aroused in such a pitch that all kinds of strong talk was directed against the brutes and universal sympathy is with the officer, After brutally beating the officer the trio left for Grass Val. ley, When near Glenbrook Park they met R. J, Gates, who was on his way to Grass Valley and they stopped him, Two of the trio jumped on the horse’s back -and one n the seat, After bothering him for nearly fifteen minutes they let him go ~ and. when near Grass Valley they mét Earnest Tibbitts, a * Newspaper carrier and did not let him pass until they forced the lad to take a drink of whiskey out of a bottle which one ofthem carried, They returned to this city on the morning train and were ar. rested on the charge of battery by Sheriff Getchell and Marshall Tompkins and Justice Holbrook held them under $500 bonds, each, in default of which they. were lodged in the county jail. : During the day they secured A.D. Mason to defend them and when brought before Justice Holbrook last evening they plead not guilty to the charge. ~ William Kilroy has made the best nightwatchman Nevada City has ever had and because he has faithfully discharged his duties he has naturally gained the enmity and hatred of all the hoodlums and criminal element, but the good citizens are praising him for his honesty of purpose and will stand by him in securing justice, After the combat with the officer the brutes saw him in the hotel and one of them remarked, “that was a dandy kick I gave him in the jaw,’’ and other just as fiendish remarks were made. While going to Grass Valley they stopped at Sutton’s place and frightened the ladies in the household, .On Piety Hill nearly every electric: lamp: globe: was. broken and it is believed the same trio did the work. The City Trustees held a special meeting last night and instructed Trustees Rich and Rector to engage City Attorney Ford to assist the District Attorney in prosecuting the officer’s assajlants, but should he not return from San Francisco intime they will engage other counsel, Justice has been dealt out altogether too loosley in this city of late and in the present case the defendants should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and the maximum penalty be meted out to them, The trio were soon able to obtain bonds and were released from custody menf) Resolution 67-317 (A Resolution authori hang’ the work to be made by the Engineer of Work.) ot Khe Resolution 67-318 (A Resolution of Award of Contract, Resolution 67-319 (A Resolution authorizing Sale of zeae’ inp ee Foi sine “ Resolution amending the Subdivision eement, between the T s Estates ad the County of Nevada) ruckee-Tahoe Lake e ap of Prosser Lakeview E Assessment District was approved and ee oe aie No.8 authorized to same, A Public earing was held regarding Prosser Lakeview Assessment District No, I, and the following documents were approved: Resolution 67-321 (A Resolution overruling protests.)
