The Polish troubles have broken out

The Polish troubles have broken out
afresh at Bay City, Michigan, and 8
riot started at st. Stanislaus Church at
1890 o'clock this morning. A mob of
several hundred angry Poles attacked
the parsonage, breaking every window
and driving Father Bogacki and his
body guard into the basement where
they are still besieged. One man was
shot and another was beaten into in
sensibility. Shortly after noon, through
the intervention of the Chief of Police,
a treaty was arrived at, by which the
mob promised safe passage for Fitz-
gerald and Father Bogacki, if they
would vacste the premises. When the
men left the house tho mob followed
and Fitzgerald took to his heels,
being dubbed severely before he
made his escape. Bogacki was not
molested. Fitzgerald is charged
with shooting Bartkowiak and has
surrendered to the authorities. The
parsonage is still surrounded. but it is
not believed the mob will resort to
further violence.

ATTEMPT TO BURN A HoUsE.-Last
night about o'clock people living op.
posite the Cats tavern, in West Fad,
discovered that an unoccupied frame
house, belonging to Mr.. Rose Cats,
lying between the tavern and the house
belonging to Mr.. John Cats, which
was recently set on fire, was burning.
By prompt action the flames were soon
subdued. Upon examination it was
found that waste satuated with coal oil
had been placed in the partitions of tt Q
house by the incendiary. Shortly after
the above occurred an attempt was
made to rob the residence of Mr.. VIM.
Grillbortzer, a short distance east of the
intended fire. The thief or thieves had
entered the rear part of the building,
but the incessant barking of dog in
the yard scared them off, 1t is highly
probable that the object was to start
fire in order to divert attention while
the robbery was in progress.
