OFFICER HIDES ERROR.
A Naugatuck Man Arrested Tor
 Robbery in New Haven.

NauSaCuck Man Arrested TOT
 Robbery in New Haven.
 There have been some funny episodes to amuse the New Haven police department since Superintendent Boll- mans order went into effect to arrest all unknown parties found out late at night unable to give good account of themselves.
 A few nights ago the patrolmen were ordered to keep sharp lookout for one Peter St Clair, who was wanted some where for highway robbery.
 It happened that very night that a young man from Naugatuck ran afoul of the lynx-eyed policeman. The former was Archie Eagan, formerly employed one time a letter carrier in the local postoffice. He had gone down to New Haven to visit some friends. After making his calls he found he had an hour or two at his disposal and went down town.
 Officer Hyde caught sight of him as he stood hesitatingly on the corner and it flashed across the officers mind that the stranger answered the description of the highway robber. In moment he had the surprised stranger by the arm.
 "Hello Pete, when did you get back ?'' cried the strategic detectlve-policeman thinking to trap "Pete" into admitting his identity.
 "About three hours ago." answered Eagan ,::dumfounded at the officer taking hold of him and not paying any atten- | tion to being called Pete.
 ''Well the chief would like to see yon at his office, so you had better come along quietly. We've been looking for you for some time."
 Eagan could do nothing but go with the policeman and on the way he ransacked his memory to guess what crime he could 1 have committed to lead to his arrest. At the police office he was introduced to Chief Bollman as Pete St Clair the highway robber. Of course he then stated who he was. His statements were listened to with suspicion and would hardly have liberated him had he not proven his identity in another way. While his examination was going on Officer Cowles, who knew hlm, hap pehed to come in.
 "Hello, Archie, what have you been doing?" asked Officer Cowles. Ex- plantations followed, apologies were made and Eagan was let go. An heul later he met Officer Hyde on the corner of Chapel and Church streets again and the latter atoned fer his mistake by setting up the cigars. Eagan has gone beck to Naugatuck and says he won't gc back to New Haven while Peter S1 Clair is at large.

Five Victims Answer to the Roll Call
 This Morning.

Five Victims Answer to the Roll Call
 This Morning.
 Frank Stone, an old rounder who has occupied the box in the police court about as often as anyone was the first offender this morning, on three charges, drunkenness. breach of peace and being a common drunkard. He went into Arnold's cigar store on Bank street yesterday and when ordered to leave refused. The proprietor undertook to put him out, and in the scutf1e the sign in front of the door was knocked down and broken. Chief Egan handed his record to the prosecuting attorney, and Stone frequently interrupted the wit nesses, denying the charges. Judge Cowell gave him a sentence of S1 and costs for drunkenness, 60 days and costs for being common drunkard, and sus- pended Judgment for breach of peace.
 Patrick Calvin, youth 20 years of age, was present for contempt of court. Some months ago he visited Attorney Colley's office and entered charge against Thomas Rcston for selling him liquor. He was subpenaed as a wit ness, but failed to appear. He has been absent from town some three or four months and only returned four weeks ago. Ten dollars and costs was the penalty. An appeal will probably be taken.
 James Flanagan, Michael Nugent and Henry Lynch were charged with drunk enness, breach of peace and assault. Their case was continued until Monday. After court Flanagan settled his share for $10 on each account.
 The case of seduction was again post poned until Monday.
