They Caused Good Deal of Excite.
ment About Taylor.

People down in Taylor and Minooka
are just recovering from a general
fever brought on by fright. There was
a ball in Weher's Rink Tuesday night
and among the dancers were o number
of Minooka young people. About one
O'Clock the band played Home Sweet
Home" and the followers of the fan
tastic wendsd their way homeward.
When the Minooka young people reach
ed the small bridge which spans the
L.ackawanna near the Taylor station,
they stopped, because swinging from
a top girder OF the bridge was a rope
ana on the lower end of the rome was
body. 1t was just dark enough to be
fearful
The Minooka crowd drew back hur-
riedly and with jumping hearts. About
one-hundrcd yards from the bridge a
consultation was had. What was to be
done? Some suggested that he police
be informed Of the suicide But no Tay-
lor policeman was known. After an
hours wait, couple of the young men
gathered their scattered courage and
approached the bridge.
They threw stones at the body; they
hit 1t. and it swung lightly in the air
from the force of the blow. 1t was to
feathery for real flesh and after several
more shots the boys decided that it was
a hoax About 3 o'clock the last Mi
nooka person had passed under the
swinging thing" They didn't know
what 1t was, but a man could not be
SO easily moved. This they We're sure
of.
When daylight came around there
was another fever The people living
within sight of the object became excit-
ed and by nine O'Clock half of Taylor
was talking about the suicide on the
bridge" Some one was plucky enough
to cut the object down and upon exam
| ination it was found to be a suit of
mems clothing stuffed with straw. Af-
terward it was found that a number
OF Minooka young men had brought up
the thing and the excitement thar it
caused was just what the young men

SUFKA FINED FIFTY DOLLARS.
Refused to Pay 1t by Advice of His
Attorney.

Another Of the alleged participants
in Sundays disturbance at the Polish
church was arrested yesterday. He is
Matthias Sufla and 1t is charged
against him that he was one of those
who melted the women to assault the
Officers and that it was he also who
'despoiled Officer Dyer and Patrnlman
Schmidt of their clubs. When arrested
I he had officer Dyer's club in his pocket
At the hearing before Alderman Mil
lar his attorney. Charles T.. Oliver, en-
tered plea Of not guilty and proceeded
to snow that Sufka was not creating
any disturbance; that he could not obey
the officers command to leave the
premises because he was henmed in by
the crowd and that he only grabbed the
officers club to prevent himself from
being hit.
The two policemen, Dyer and
Schmidt, took the stand and testified
that Sufka was in the crowd that push
ed the police through the fence, and
that he is the one who disarmed them
both. In answer to Mr.. Divers ques-
tions they each in turn admitted that
the crowd was creating no disturbance
when the police started in to disDersc
them and both stated that they Were
aware that the people were on their
own premises. When this was brought
out Mr.. Oliver argued that Sufka had
a right to disarr the officers if hr could
as a citizen does rot have to submit to
an illegal arrest. The alderman, how
ever. would not listen to this conten-
ton.
SUFKA'S EXPLANATION.
Sufka was put on the stand and ex-
planned that he went to Patrolman
Schmidt's home on his way to work
yesterday morning to return to him the
club he had wrested from Officer Dyer
and the other which had been turned
over to him by the young man whom he
alleges took 1t from Patrolman
Schmidt. This is how he happened to
have them in his possession and how
one of them was on his person when he
was arrested. He retained the clubs
until yesterday on the advice of his
attorney.
At the outset of the hearing Mr.. Oh
yer asked that the evidence be reduced
to writing and the objections of coun
sci noted. This the alderman declined
to do, saying it was neither customary
nor obligatory. Mr.. Oliver protested
that it was obligatory when demand
ed. 1t stands to reason, he said. that
