III an instant Officers Chase anu Hllis-
pury OF Portland, who were also SIMPLY
spectators, were in the crowd also, ana
there were no more attempts to interfere
with the arrest of "Skedaddle, . except
by that redoubtable worthy himself.
When they got him out through the gate
behind the bleachers he fought like
tiger and had to be ironed Then he and
bhe young man, who had inter1erea' We're
taken TO the Deering lookup. Inc latter
was released last evening, as IL proved
that he was not one Of the gang OF
toughs. Since the Portland officers say
that he is respectable young man, and
since he declared that he was not one OF
the drunken crowd of toughs, but came
from tho other side of the grounds, and
only attempted to ask the police not TO
hurt McDonough, his name is left out
McDonough will appear before Judge
Hopkins at Deering this morning. There
were other drunken toughs with him
that ought to have been arrested. These
Portland toughs have great contempt
for the Deering police and would un-
doubtedly have hailed with delight
chance to wade in and clean them out.
Had not SO many of the Portland police
been present as spectators of the game,
there would probably have been quite a
row. The Deering police are good men
and showed it yesterday, but OF course
they are not accustomed to these toughs
as are the Portland police, and don't
realize that the only way to deal with
them is to make quick, prompt attack
without quarter or parley.
There were not wanting sympathisers
with the toughs, who made good deal
of talk about the illegality of the action
of the Portland police in going to the aid
OF the Deering police II these foolish
parties should undertake to bring an
action against Officers Merrill, Lombard,
Webb, Chase, Pillsbury, Quinn, McGrath,
Moore and others for the part they took
in yesterdays fracas, they would soon be
aware of their folly, and might possibly
not have SO much to say in the future
about illegality in the suppression of
drunken toughs. 70 the majority of
those present it was a commendable

the peace from Portland, fastening SO
willingly and so effectually to the aid of
their brother officers in Deering When
"a crowd of drunken toughs defy the
officers of the law so openly as was done
yesterday, it is time for anybody, whether
"a police officer or NOT to render assistance,
as his aid is necessary.
Last evening Marshal St. John re-
quested the Portland police department
to arrest Pat Murphy He was one of the
drunken toughs who defed Officer
Boulter. He did SO much, in fact, that
ne didn't stop until Frank Merrill
knocked him over the bench with
straight-out punch.
The young man who was arrested with
McDonough was released on the payment
of $25 as a guarantee that he would ap-
pear before Judge Hopkins this morning
Marshal st. John says that this is the
first disturbance of the kind on the ball
grounds this year, and he intends that it
shall be the last. He has given strict
orders to his men not to make any talk
at all to anyone on the grounds hereafter,
but to Immediately arrest any tough that
refuses to obey them.
Marshal St.John sent letter Of thanks
to Marshal Trickey last evening for the
very timely and efficient aid that was
rend cred the Deering police by the Port
land police.
All this time the baseball game was
held in allegiance But the last of the
fifth was finished and Killeen had time
to begin the sixth with fine single,
when tn floods descended and put a stop
to the game
Following is the score:
