UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.
At Sebago. Lake yesterday at the pic
Mo of the Central Labor Union lively
ARRAY occurred, in which Deputy Sheriff
r, E. Newhall of Windham was badly
used. Deputy Newhall was parading
the grounds in citizens clothes when he
saw man raising disturbance about
one Of the swings. He at once ordered
the man away, and meeting resistance,
according to his statement, pushed him
over the railing. The man appears to
have been in an unbalanced condition as
he fell upon the back-of his head. When
he fell a dozen or more Of his comrades
proceeded to edo up'' Mr.. Newhall, and
finally succeeded to the extent of bad
eye and a.bruiseds cheekbone. He claims
they got him down and used their feet on
him, but not until he had made good
fight. He had no billy with him.
A young man seeing the trouble noti-
fed some of the special Portland police,
who were stationed near the dancing
pavilion. When the gang saw the police
coming they took to the woods. Police
men White Foss and Pillsbury succeeded
In capturing Ed. Laurie and Ed. Larkin,
both of Portland, locked them up in a
freight car, according to instructions
from Deputy Sheriff Newhall, and there
left them to bake.
It appears that the prisoners had too
many friends about for they got away
somehow. Mr.. Newhall claims that it
was not possible for them to do SO with
out outside help. They were recaptured
by the police in the woods about quar-
ter of mile distant and again locked
I'D, this time for keeps.
Some of the spectators claimed that Mr.
Newhall was rather sudden in his treat
ment at the start, which raised the ire of
the gang and caused unnecessary trouble
On the other hand Mr.. Newhall claims
