Shooting at an officer.
--John J. Ames was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of shooting at, with intent to kill, officer Adams, of the day police.
Officers Adams, Crone, and Bilby, in passing along 17th street, near Franklin, heard the explosion of a pistol in the direction of Main street, and hastening down to ascertain the cause, saw the prisoner, pistol in hand, pass into Beckman's saloon.
Adams fellowed on, and on getting to the door of the saloon, met the prisoner, who presented a pistol to his breast, with the remark, "Are you the scoundrel to arrest me." Adams seeing his danger, knocked down the hand containing the weapon, when the pistol exploded, the ball striking the pavement at the officer's feet.
The prisoner was taken into custody, and the Mayor remanded him to answer the charge before a higher tribunal.
