GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 1.-Two po-
licemen were pounded half to death by a
crowd of toughs today and two of their as

result of crusade which the police have
been waging against saloon keepers who
have been violating the law. Today Patrol

saloon of Sommers & Treadwell doing a
thriving back-door business. As the Of
ficers entered the air was flied with clubs

struck on the head and felled with n club.
He was drawing his revolver as he fell
and he pulled the trigger. Several shots
were fired from the crowd and Harrington
managed to get his revolver out
and pulled it upon Treadwell,
who was pounding him on the
head with beer bottle The next moment
Harrington went to the floor. A great crowd
had gathered in front of the saloon and the
excitement was intense. An officer outside
guarded the door and sent for the patrol
wagon. squad of eight policemen re-
sponded with orders to arrest every one In
the place, but most of the crowd managed to
slip away. Officer Viergiver had an arm
broken in two places, his nose disloceted and
an awful cash across the scalp. His in
jurieS are not necessarily fatal. officer Har-
rington was cut with broken glass. He has
a severe scalp wound and serious bodily in

lung An examination late tonight showed
that he is suffering severe hemorrhagos. He

OCCASION ron cnUncn JUBILEE.
Creighton Congregation Destroys the
LnaI LNihrnrr of u Drhi.


CREIGHTON, Ncb.,, Jan. 1.-(Special)-
The Jubilee meeting at the Congregational
church last night was one long to
be remembered in the history OF the
church as an occasion OF great re-
jolcing and heartfelt Thanksgiving over
the successful completion OF work
which had for many years weighed heavily
on the church. That work was the satisfac-
ton OF the last dollar OF the church indebt-
edness, from whatever source, so that the
new year may be commenced with a clean
record and not a cent due to any one. All
accounts have been balanced and closed
When Rev. Mr. James came on the field
about three years ago, there was an indebt-
Cdno9s against the church of nearly $780,
all of which was due and payment urged
Now all debts are paid. The church and
parsonage are free and the congregation re-
joiced together in celebration of the happy
event.
The program of the evening consisted Of
devotional exercises, to commence with, fol-
lowed by reports Of the different church or
ganl2atiOns and heads, as follows: Junior
Christian Endoavor society, Senior Christian
Endeavor society, Ladies' Aid society," sun
day school, church clerk. church treasurer,
official board of church. pastor and auditor
noteworthy feature of the treasurer's re-
port was that all bills were paid and there
was in each instance a small cash balance
in the treasury.
After the reports were read, a hearty vote
of thanks was given the pastor for his
loyal work during the year, after which a
song of jubilee, written for the occasion
by the pastor, was sung by h. f. Warner,
and the congregation joined in the chorus.
A very pretty and impressive ceremony
followed the singing of the song of jubilee,
in which the old mortgage on the parsonage
was forever disposed of in rather an effective
manner In the presence of the entire con-
gregation. The pastor called to his aid the
church clerk and the president of the Ladies'
Aid society, who took their positions on
either side of him. Then to the clerk he
handed the evidence OF the old debt, and
to the president he handed a tray to catch
the remains, while he himself applied the
torch to the mortgage. and as the flames con-
sumed the last particle Of 1t, the congrega-
ton sang Praise God from Whom All Bless
ings Flow"
Rev. Mr.. Noyce OF Brunswick closed the
formal exercises Of the evening with the
benediction. Then 1t was that the women
of the church took charge and all were in
vited to partalie OF the delicacies which they
had provided so beautifully and so free.
