There was snarling, crashing of teeth
and rafting OF chains In the usually
decorous Court of Special Sessions this

vain to quell, were two big bulldogs.
One was pure white and answered to the
name OF Jack" and the other was
decorated with black spots n was
called "Bill."
Six tough-looking young men were
prisoners at the bar. charged with ar
ranging a dog fight. The fight took
place last Saturday night under the old
pier at One Hundred and Tenth street
and the East River.
The dogs Jack and Bill were the fight
ers. When Detectives Smith and Mooney
surprised the men Jack had Bill by the
throat. Bill appeared In cour this after
noon with one eye closed and his neck
swathed in b~andages. He was a trife
unsteady on his legs until he caught
sight. of his late antagonist, when he
growled and tried to reach him..
The six prisoners were Patrick Maher,
John Maher. James Dempsey, George
Martin. Peter Howe and John Howe.
They were fined s25 each. All of them
denied owning the dogs. Supt. Hankin-

LONDON. Feb. 23.-This was the fune-
raj day OF Bourdin, the Anarchist. VINO
was fatally injured by the premature
explosion of a bomb In Greenwich Park
on Feb. Is. The undertaker's shop IN
Chapel street was surrounded with
crowds of excited spectators including
many Anarchists, from the earliest
morning hours. ~ :.
The hearse was followed by one coach
and started through the dense crowds
surrounded by mounted police. The Su-
pe~rintendent OF Police. who wal In
charge OF the funeral. refused to allow
any vehicles other than the solitary
coach mentioned to follow the rheArse
on It's way to the cemetery. and the po-
lice also refused to allow any procession.
Previous to the departure of the
hearse a crowd of Anarchists displayed
n red flag and became in other ways too
demonstratlve This caused the police
to make a charge in the direction OF the
red flag and. after a short %scufiie. the
banner OF Anarchy was captured and
carried away to the nearest police sta

Shortly after this another red nag was
thrown to the breeze. not far from the

Again the police turned their attention
to the red bunting. another short scuffis
between the Anarchists and the police
men ensued, and the second flag was
captured and sent to keep company with
the first one displayed.
While the police were capturing the
Anarchist flags. the hearse containing
the remains of Bourdln started for the
cemetery. BID

crowds pressed SO closely. around 1t that

back from the route. -t ,TItf
Eventually. however. the police mus

route leading to the cemetery that the
crowds were brought to a standstfl, and
finally, the hearse proceeded on Its way
almost without any following. 4GsNs
Only about 500 persons were present &c
