evolutionS, and some of their work was
heartily applauded. Company B, which
comprised the Youngest and smallest boys
in the college, under Capt. Henry Z. Hughes,
did their work nearly as well in spite or the
fact that some OF lie boys were no bigger
youngsters did remarkably well, and it
was the gene raj opinion that they had won

the ranks by one OF the judges-a lieutenaut
but the movement made by the boy was
discovered TO be right and he was replaced
in the ranks Little 0'ConnOrs victory was
well earned and upon the announcement
that the boy had won the medal Can't
Coughlan, of Company A and other men,
bers of his company were inclined to OBJ
ject and surrounded the judges where they
entered their protest. The point upon
which young O'Connor won the medal was
that he did not forget to drill ''by the nu M
ber," While his four competitors did.
After the dress parade of the battalion the
prizes were awarded by the Rev. Father
j. A. Conway, vice president Of the college,
and Monsignor Sbaretti, the latter pinnins

BOB DAVIS CAUGHT.
When County Detective Leyshon Ar.
rested Him in jenkins Saloon
Bob Asked, "What For ?"

After eluding the officers OF the law
for the better part of year Bob"
Davis was arrested last night by
County Detective Leyshon In William
II Jenkins's saloon on Lackawanna
avenue about $50 o'clock. When Mr.
Leyshon informed him he was wanted,
Bob looked surprised and wanted to
know what for? "Oh, I guess you
know" was the answer given him.
On the way up the avenue Mr.. Ley
shon transferred his man to the care
of Patrolman Tom Evans and went to
get Miss Weichel to give testimony
while the officer was bringing Bob be-
fore Alderman Millar. Miss Weichel
was not at her house in Center street,
having gone over to her parents home
on the South Side, through fear of
Davis. On more than one occasion he
threatened to kill her and attempted
to accomplish it Tuesday morning at
day break.
The warrant on which he was ar
rested charges him with assault and
battery, threatening to kill. and break
ing into the house of Miss Weichel. on
Tuesday morning he tore a screen off
one of the back windows, and forced
an entrance into her house. Going to
her bedroom, where she and one of her
servants We're sleeping he raised a
heavy cane and struck her on the head
with it. She screamed and he fed.
She found at the foot of the bed a knife
as long as ones forearm. which has
undoubtedly been intended for use in
cutting her throat, she swears, had he
not lost his courage and ran when she
aWOke and screamed for help.
After that she was afraid to live in
the house while he was at large. The
next night some one threw an iron,
shaped like a coupling pin. through the
window of the room where she usually
slept upstairs. She was not there. but
II struck a large parlCr lamp, which
was lit, and made pieces of it. Flossie
Daniels was in the room at the time,
and it missed her head by an inch be-
fore hitting the lamp. She had a lively
time of it preventing the broken lamp
from setting the house afire.
Alderman Miliar gave him a preliIn-
mary hearing and committed him to
the police station for a further hcar-
Ing at 10 O'Clock this morning. Besid s
the warrant Miss Weiche swore out
asainst him, he will have to answer the
charge of running a young woman who
recently gave birth to twins at the
Hillside Home.
Although he had been wanted for n
long time and more than a score of
cfticers had been on the lookout for
him. he managed to cvade arrest and
didn't leave the city. AS he was about
10 he taken in charge hy Patrolrnan
Evans to go UP to the station for the
night. he hcsitated and swore out n
warrant for Miss Weichers arrest on
tne chargc Of Keeping a haWdy house
