of East and Walnut streets, John Mortel
of $50 Grand avenue, and Michael Sough-
rey of % Monroe street, for violation of
the city ordinance in not having their

streets Tanning suddenly turned and
threw stone which he had picked up.
The stone struck Lambert and disabled
him for while. The stealing of the

for breach of the peace. Tanning was the
leader of the notorious Tanning gang,
which terrorized the lower part of the
town five or six years ago.

Rams and Oran arrested on charge of fast
driving. Rams admitted that he drove
rather fast and in trying to clear himself
made matters worse.
