Picnic parties were the source Of great
amusement yesterday. Anyway that was
their object, though some miscarried, in be-
ing the scene of great disturbance. Along
about Z o'clock. at the Highland Park pic
MIC, on Dayton Bluff, the sounds of hilarity
were superseded by sounds of imprecation
coupled with blows. Amusement had given
place to disturbance. Officers O'Keefe and
Broemer, who were in the neighborhood,
heard the noise and repaired
to the park. They came none
too quick, for rousing ruction was in
progress. AS they neared the bar-room,
Nick Schultz, a runner for the Commercial
hotel, came rushing out pursued by q crowd.
The officers we're asked to arrest him, as ne
had Just struck man without provocatlon.
Nick's prediction to hit being pretty well
known, the officers didn't hesitate to take
him in. Thinking perhaps others might be
equally at fault, Schultz was taken into the
bar-room. and the officers with difficulty kept
the crowd from rushing upon him.
In fact, moment later, while the officers
we're guarding the front door, the crowd
surged in from the rear and began making
it lively for Schultz. The officers had no
sooner succeeded in protecting their prisoner
than they discovered an interchange of mus
oular compliments in progress in the park
between John CASTILLO and James Kelly
Officer O'Keefe rushed out and brought in
the two latter combatants. After allowing their
prisoners to wash off the blood of battle and
cool the bruises received in the conflict, the
trio were conveyed to an omnibus at the
gate of the park. Kelly and Costello were
slowed away in the omnibus, but Schultz
made jump and scampared off. Office,
Broemer gave pursuit; so did one John Muir
name and crowd of twenty or thirty others
John Murnane and crowd of others were
feeter of foot than Broemer and overlook
Schultz. 81.
They treated him to a vigorous application
of their muscle, intensified with handy sticks
or stones. Half dead and wholly scared
Schultz broke loose from his tormentor
and jumped on the steps of one of Cook
omnibus wagons, coming in from Whit
Bear lake. He was denied admittance. H
took up the run again, and got to Bast'
saloon, the crowd after him. just her
Officer Broemer reached out for him
grabbed him, and took him t
the omnibus, when he, Kelly and Costello
were conveyed to the police station.
After this, Officers O'Keefe and Broeme
returned to the pleasure grounds of High
land Park to capture others of the gan
who had made it SO very unpleasant. Agai
they got on the scene in time to stop fgh
between Henry Cornick and James Har
Both were arrested, but as they we're bein
taken to the bar-room the officers were calle
to rescue man, who it was said was bein
murdered over in the eastern part of th
grounds. Here they found John Madde
and Mike O'Connor mutually mixed up
murderous affray. They were induced

Meanwhile Cornick and Hart had VI

affair is placed upon Schultz; he gave a
impetus to the ruction by instantly knocl
ing down one inofensive man. Howeve
