They Thought 1t Was Rict-A Fight
Near Quinnipiac Bridge Union
Thanksgiving Services Annual
Meeting of the Y. M. G. A.-Pratse
Service Sunday at Second Church.
Yesterday morning at about $50 o'clock
word was telephoned to the precinct that
riot was in progress near the Quinnipiac
drawbridge, and three patrolmen were sent
out in the patrol wagon. Two more we've
picked up on the way, and there was evil
dence that a terrible affair was in progress
and crowds followed. The wagon was
driven over to East Grand avenue by mis-
take, and finding no disturbance there the
men got on the right track and proceeded
to Quinnipiao bridge, where a crowd of
several hundred surrounded two young
fighters, James Bergen and James Garde,
who were arrested and driven to the Grand
avenue precinct. 1t proved to be very
tame riot, but the people got considerably
scared.
