He stated that two weeks ago Gerke and Special Paw leck, came to his place nnd told him they had a warrant for his arrest, but a settlement could very easily be made; the sum of five dollars would fix It, and It was handed to Gerke, who took from the officer's hands the warrant nnd threw !t Into tho tire, Oillcer Pawleck caught .a corner of It, and saved It. After several days of deliberation he went to Zwarcz with the fragment of the warrant, and arrested him.
