WINCHELL SERIOUSLY INJURED,
Bunty Wilson Kicked Him and Broke His
Shoulder.

puoulucI.
Patrolman Harry Winchell was
seriously injured last evening about 8
o'clock by William H. Wilson, car
riage blacksmith's helper who lives
near Morris and Lamberton streets
The officer had orders to keep this
crossing clear, and was in the per-
Torrance of his duties when Wilson,
who was one of the gang of roughs OBJ
Etructing the way, refused to move
when requested to do so by Patrolman
Winchell.
Wilson paid no attention to what the
officer said, and he was placed under
arrest. He made some resistance, but
Patrolman Winchell was managing
him with comparative ease until he
was within short distance of the pa
troll box.
Winchell caught his foot in some I'M
accountable manner in the curb as he
was walking along, and was thrown
to the street, falling upon his right
side. AS the officer fell the prisoner
pulled away from him, and before he
had landed a kick in the patrolman's
left shoulder from behind. Wilson be-
ing free ran toward the West river
bridge and had escaped before the off,
Ger had recovered from the blow.
Winchell walked to the Howard ave-
nue. station with his left arm hanging
at his side.
At intervals the pain was SO severe
that he could scarcely stand, and by
the time he reached the station the Off
Ger was in fainting condition.
The patrol wagon was called and the
injured officer was taken to his home
at 22S Crown street. Police Surgeon
Louis ]. Gaynor was called and found
that Winchells left shoulder bone had
been completely dislocated, and was in
such a position as to press upon the
left lung. That organ, however, had
escaped puncturing.
IT was also found that Winchell had
received internal injuries, and had Sc
yerely wrenched his left knee Several
cuts were found on his head. where it
Is thought Wilson kicked him.
At 10 o'clock last evening DR.. Rus
sell. assisted by Drs. Gaynor and Mon
-ahan reduced the dislocation, putting
the patient under the influence of ether
during the operation.
The attending physicians were of the
nninion that Winchell will recover, but
that he would be off duty for two
months at least.
The assault on officer Winchell &C.
curred at a place where he could not
communicate with any one of his asso-
ciate officers, and is one Of the most
notorious localities in the city. 1t is
said that when the police were given
orders to keep this corner and crossing
clear of loafers that one commissioner
said. use your revolver if you have
70. and shoot to do some good"
The rule of the board does not admit
of doubling up" among the patrolmen,
but it is getting to be a question in
notice circles where there is not urgent
need in some localities of having two
men patrol beat
A prominent police official said last
evening that there were beats in this
city that it was almost useless for one
man to patrol it, and this part Of sta
tion No. 8 is one of them,

First NJ. L. Church in Bridgeport Dam
aged $500 by Fire

Bridgeport, July 3.-To-night at IL
o'clock fire was discovered burning
briskly on the east tower of the First
NJ E. church nearly sixty feet in the
air. An alarm was rung in, but on ac-
count of the great elevation of the
blaze the firemen had great difficulty
in extinguishing it. The aerial truck
could not be used on account of the
trolley wires. Several of the ladder
men received shocks. The fire started
from a premature celebration of the
Fourth by parties across the street
The damage by fire and water amounts
to $500.
