saloon is at 1l3 Park Row.
Not more than half a dozen persons
witnessed the fight but those who did
wonder that Police Justice Diver was
not carried out of the place on an am
bulance stretcher.

ter could stand 1t no longer. 1t was all
over, however, in such short order that
interference on the part of any one was
out of the question.
The trouble which eliminated In Pat
rick Diver, i. j., being completely
knocked out is OF long standing. No
love has been lost between the men for
a long time. on Tekulsky's part it was
matter of supreme Indifference what
Diver thought of him. Nearly every
body in the district knows what he
thinks of Diver
