Michael hulyey, not exactly an unknown
quantity in local police circles, had q
very narrow escape, and had it not been for
the careful watch keps by the police ot:i
cials at the Second station would not
have lived to appear in court this morn
ing. Michael was very drunk early Sun
day morning and few moments after
midnight otficres Edwards and McGrath
found him lying on Hawkins street in a
helpless condition. The patrol wagon
was summoned, but Mulvey could not
be got to the box and this time the
mountain had to come to Mulyey for he
never could have gone to the mountain. =
he was placed in cell and, owing to
his condition, he was allowed TO lie on
the floor. A few moments after the off,
GERS left him Mulvey noticed settee in
the cell and tried to get up on 1t. This
effort came near costing him his life. for
he fell with his chin resting on part of
the settee and his wind pipe pressing
roughly against the side of it. He was
in no condition OF mind to figure out
what was the matter but he was slowly
suffocatinR. When officer McGovern
went to look at the prisoner he noticed
Mulvey's strange posture and on closer
inspection saw that his face had changed
very much in color. The dark cast of the
mans countensnce caused the officer to
quickly summon Lieutenant Murray.
Mulvcy was quickly taken in hand,
straig htened out and after awhile, though
for time it seemed doubtful, he was
relieved from any serious results OF his
acrobatic effort.
Yesterday morning he was too weak to
take to court but his strength slowly re-
turned to him during the day.

Some young men who hang around the
sidewalk and render themselves generally
disagrs cable to the managers of the Ran
dali Square Gost ell Mission are apt TO get
into trouble with the police. Last night
officers Hennessey and Edwards brought
a couple OF the gang into the Second Sta
tion and they got a talking-to that will
probably cause them to give the mission
q wide berth for the future.
