POLICEMAN LEES SCUFFLE
An Exciting Saturday Night Scene on
Main Street.
ROUGHS FIGHT FOR A RESCUE |
The Officer Fought Four Men Successfully
single-Handed without Resorting to
Weapons and After Being Struck
Arrested the Ringleader.

Policeman Thomas Lee had hard struggle
with gang of roughs at the corner of Main
and Oak streets, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, Saturday night and but for the brave
and determined stand he made might have
suffered seriously. He fought against great
odds and several citizens who witnessed the
affair have commended him highly upon his
conduct. Although obliged to fight four
men at one time in order to hold on to his
prisoner and threats of all kinds were made
against him, and in spite of the fact that he
was struck repeatedly, Lee refrained from
the use of his revolver, or other weapons
and was victorious in the fight. He landed
two in the lookup with subsequent assistance
and others win be arrested
Lee was standing at the corner of Main
and Oak streets talking with a friend when
ms attention was attracted by fight on an
opposite corner. Lee hurried to the scene
and grabbed young man named Toomey
who was the nearest to the policeman S
reach. The officer was at once surrounded
by a crowd aud several young men who were
more or less intoxicated demanded that the
prisoner be released. Lee ordered the fell
lows off and tightened his grip upon the
prisoner. SHOW the English -
shouted and Lee and his prisoner were
hemmed in. Toomey appealed to the crowd
TO keep away. He said he was willing to ac-
company the officer and did not wish to be
handled roughly. One of the crowd. a
young fellow named Dennis Grummell.
sprang at Lee and struck him. The latter's
helmet fell into the gutter. Lee released

were attracted to the scene, but none of
them seemed to have sufficient courage to
jump into the crowd and help the officer.
One of the late arrivals finally did SO. how
ever, and Grummell was eventually taken to
the lookup and placed in a cell. Yesterday
Andrew Connolly was arrested on warrant
sworn out by Lee. Both are under bail to
appear before Justice Williams for a hearing
tonight, by which time it is expected others
will be arrested.
Yesterday Peter Connolly, a brother of
one of the prisoners, called at the lookup
and behaved in such q disorderly manner
that Policeman Hand showed him into a cell.
Late last night Policemen Tosh and Lee were
in the lookup distributing food to some of
the prisoners and Peter Connolly wasallowed
to step from his cell. He wished to make an
explanation, but when he got out he declared
he would die before the police could get him
into the cell again. There was another
scutile and Connolly was again forced into
the cell again. This morning he paid his
fine and costs and was discharged but will
be arrested again unless he makes good the
damage he did to his cell during the night.
He wrecked the trap box, pipes, the benches
and everything else he could turn or twist
and will have nice bill to pay for repairs.

with no happy result. Nothing was ever

After this, as the days rolled by In peace,
the men gradually relaxed their vigilance
and set about prospecting In a more bust
nesslike way. One morning they went out
In two parties. Two of the bard started
In one direction and the remaining three
In another. They hoped thus to economize

gether Vain hope They were never to
meet again. Towards SHUTDOWN the larger
company returned TO camp. tired. but happy
In the knowledge of having found an al
luvial patch. But the hours wore on and
their comrades came rot they became arx-
ious and went In quest of them. Daylight
the next morning found them stiI out
searching the valleys; night came on the
scene and still they hunted But nothing OF
the missing men was ever found
The island seemed full of mystery-noth-
Ing Jess than a veritable death trap. A
gloom only too terrible crept over the hunt
ers, and they decided to go back to civiliza-
ton as soon as some vessel should come
within hailing distance and speed them over
the waters. The chance was soon afforded
them. A few days later the schooner that
brought them hither arrived in the anchor
age, and at once sent boat ashore. The
hunters, with their outfit, were taken on
board, and the vessel sailed away. They
arrived in San Francisco the middle of
September.
Thus the gold fields Of the island are still
and to all belief ii is still a barren spot

Stunned by ships frequenting the Boring
