Gardiner saloon keeper. Thomas McGrath,
clerk for Mr.. Dumphy, occupies room
directly above the store. He has been serious.

noon the Catholic priest was summoned, it
being thought that Mr.. McGrath was dying
Mr.. Thomas, accompanied by two officers,
proceeded to the room in which Mr.. MEG -ath
lay ill, and without knocking for ad-
mittance, stove down the door and gained
entrance, greatly frightning the sick man.
Father Mccarthy told him to leave the room
which he refused to do The priest then
called on the police, and City Marshal Siphers
compelled him to leave the premises Mean
of the stairs. They got wind of the affair
and as Mr.. Thomas came down the stars
they started a Kissing, hooting and groaning

lowing and increasing every minute, until it
numbered several hundred men. The noise

police officers sounded his whistle and the
whole force was collected. They did their
best to quell the disturbance, but without any
perez ptible effect When Mr. Thomas was
opposite Dana's barber shop he entered, but
Mr.. Dana, seeing what was going on. told
him that he could not have him there, and
home, guarded as well as possible by the
police. During this time the crowd had be-
come so dense that there was no getting
through it, and all who met it we're obliged
came more violent, and several stones were
fred, one striking a man in the chest and
knocking him down. The police saw that
something must be done at once, and they
formed line across the street at 'grist mill
corner" directly under the electric light,
where any offender could be recognized All
of the officers were left here to hold the
crowd in check, except what was needed as
an escort to Mr. Thomas. who immediately
hurried home. After he was gone the mob
became more quiet and gradually dispersed.
The affair has caused considerable excitement
here.
