ARREST OF A FEMALE.-Officers
Dewey and Cobb were called upon |
to arrest a woman by the name of
WEIGH, who was furiously stalking
about the streets, spreading conster-
nation and terror among the women
and children on Seymour St 1t APP
pears that she came from New Haven,
and hired out to do work for Mrs.
James Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan having
business in Rutland, lett Mrs. WEIGH
to do up the dishes and things, and
on her return found her pretty well
"8et up" and a good deal pulled up
with her brief authority. Mrs. Sullivan
suggested that she had done more at
drinking whiSkey than taking care Of
the house, which aroused her dignity
and she struck Mrs. Sullivan with
plate in the side of her head, which
made an indentation instead of a
bump About this tine the officers
waited upon her down to Mr. Dewey'S
where she took rooms. On expIana-
ton before Justice Simmons, the
next day, she refused to disclose
where She obtained the liquor, and
declared She had taken none. She
was again remanded to iail-MiddIe
Jwy Register.
A disgraccfuI row OF. Main Street
about 10 o'clock last Saturday night,
disturbed the whole neighborhood
and a large part of tha village. A
company of quarrymea and others
congregatcd on the bridge in front
Charley Turner's and some Of them
visited the inside wlere the row
commenced. After being driven out
Il It arms, three of them attempted
to beat the door down and re-enter.
Officers Brooks and Trip and others
came up in time to pre7ent it and to
dispense the rioters though they failed
to arrest them. The officers having
retired to little distance to observe
movements, the rowdies returned and
F commenced stouing the building. The
officers again came up and the yaga-
bonds took to their heels and escaped
in the darkness. 4 little later a
report came to officer Brooks that
three men were trying to break into
Mrs. \. A. Fletcher's house. Mr..
Brooks went at once to the place and
. arrested one in Mrs. Fietcher's yard,
, and sent for Sheriff Trip to come
and help secure the other two whom
he saw there. Meanwhile be took
his prisoner, Thomas MDecmott,
whom he recognized as one of the
principal actors in the first row, to-
ward the Addison House. When
near the hotel MDermOtt made a
. pass at Mr.. Brooks and finally clinch-
ed him, when they had it rough and
tumble for some minutes. Finally
Brooks found it necessary to use his
billy on him which gave him a sore
head and brought him 10 terms His
contederates came up, probably with
. the idea OF rcscuing him from the
officer but his cries On being hit over
: the head with club, brought others
5 around and the acnomnIices acted m
= on the maxim that discretion is the
better part ofvalor.
: Officer Brooks was somewhat brpis-
! ed in the scufle but not materially
: injured. He lodged his prisoner in
. Jail where he remained until Monday
- morning. Yesterday morning he was
, brought before Justice Simmons on
p the charges of drunkenness and breach
; Of the peace. For the former offence
he was fined IS, and costs and for
the latter 81, and costs. He pleaded
guilty to both charges.-NtddIeJury
