SNOW RALLED,

Exciting Times at the Grand Opers
House Saturday Evening -Several
Arrests Made.
Several Yale students, considerably the
worse for liquor, created disturbance al
the Grand Opera House Saturday evening.
| 1t Is seldom that such case of genuine
rowdyism has taken place in this city, and
| the act was one which characterised its
perpetrators as rowdies of the worst type
rather than gentlemen and students of
Yale.
just as the curtain was about to be rung
down on the fourth act some student fred
SNOWFALL directly at the actors and sue
ceeded in hitting one of the male impsr-
senator in the leg. The occurrence for
the minute created CONSERVATION in the
audience, but 1t was passed by in silence
by the wounded party.
Mr.. Lawrence and Miss Field both
came to the front of the stage and made q
few remarks to the audience, after which
dience dismissed.
The students seemed to belong to the
freshman class in the academic depart
ment. They hurried out of the theater
by the eide entrance with the young man
who had thrown the SNOWFALL. While 60
ing out one of them put a cigarette in his
mouth and otherwise made disturbance
He was arrested by Officer Bright and
taken to headquarters. He gave his
name as w. B. Thompson of 80 Wall
street and is supposed to be the
same man who threw the SNOWFALL.
After the members of the company had
prepared themselves for the street, they
came down and were met in front of the
opera house by party of fifty students.
No sooner had Miss Field made her ap-
pearance than one student, who was in an
intoxicated condition, approached her and
grabbed her roughly by the arm, at the
same time addressing insulting remarks to
her. In an instant her escort, Mr. Linton,
was upon him and with blows on the side
of the head sent him tumbling in the snow,
and az every attempt to rise he was met
with strong rebuttal in the shape of right
handler. Other students attempted to inter
fere, but Mr.. Unions activity kept them at
arms length. Just as matters were assum
ing serious proportions Officers Gilligan
and Mcintyre appeared upon the scene and
separated the combatants, Gilligan taking
charge of Linton while Mcintyre laid
strong hands upon his opponent. On the
way to the station house Officer Gilligan
Was uuUOlcSttl, Dut Will nclHIyEc IL was
different. The students crowded about
him and attempted to liberate his prisoner,
but by liberal use of his club he kept
the crowd at bay and finally both persons
We're landed in the station house. Nc
Intyre's prisoner was locked up, bail
being refused. AS soon as Officer Nc
1ntyre was freed of his prisoner he re-
turned to the crowd which followed him
in and recognized two of the students
who had attempted to free his prisoner
These he Immediately put under arrest.
The members of the company were sub
poenaed as witnesses and the cases will be
tried in the city court this morning.
OF the boys arrested William McKell,
'92 S., was charged with interfering with
the officer. When called out of the lock-
up, where he had been confined with tramps
and common drunkards, he attempted to
resist having his measure taken, and was
again remanded to the lookup. When he
was brought out again he was willing to
have his measure taken.
A youth who gave his name as n. NJ
street, his age as nineteen, and whose
height is 6 feet inch, was also arrested
for interfering with the officer. William
II. Carlisle, who, 1t is supposed, insulted
the actress, but was not positively identified
by her, was charged with breach of
peace and drunkenness. He was in q
maudlin condition, and when brought out
to have his description taken vomited
over the floor. He is said by a policeman
to room at 400 Temple street. He is Eve
feet seven and one-hslf inches tall and has
a short scar on the right aide of his lip,
which draws it little to one side. He
complains that his head is core from the
punching which Miss Fields escort gave
