GERS who detailed at the grounds, and asked
him to put the man out. He was an old man.
the officer was, but he started to do as l had
asked him to.
Then the crowd began to hoot and yell, and
to tell the officer not to put the man out. then
said that would take all of the responsibility
but the cries from the crowd that had gathered
evidently excited the officer. and he going
to do as hald told him. then went to the
other officer and asked him to help He
started to do so. and the crowd redoubled their
yells. The old officer suddenly turned around
and said: The first man that speaks to me
will get good clubbing 1 turned to him and
said: Here am. and if you want to do any
thing like that you had better begin on me.

The Captain said that he did not know how the
general melee was started, as that occurred
after he had left the park. Some Of the other
men, however had told him that when they

| officer. Aid telephoned for to Maspeth and
a crowd of deputysherifs soon arrived upon
| the scene. Then there was a time. The new
corners were evidently those who were spoken Of
| as ''toughs and buns by the prisoners, as the
| deputies were not In uniform. Shooting and
| clubbing and fighting went on for considerable
| time sand number Of people. in all probability

| the trouble. The Hussars used their sabres and
| the officers used their clubs and one or two OF
| the Austrians used their rifles, and the conse-
| quences were bad. One result is that there are
over half a hundred men In Jail In Long Island
| City, many of them suffering from badly dam
| aged craniums Another is that the two deputy
sheriffs who were on duty at the park are badly
injured. One of them. John Bauman, received
sabre cuts on the head and hands, and the other.
the old man. Washington J,Seherry, suffered
cuts and kicks and blows. and number of other
