A SATURDAY EVENING DIVER
SION.
Henry Bailey, who lives OF IL Gillen
street, helped TO make up a card pgrty at
Baronis saloon at the corner OF Charles
and Ledge streets Saturday night. He
complained TO Officer Blacknlan that
Frank Baroni struck him. The officer
with Officer Edwards made an investi
ratfon of the trouble and found The
story of Bailey had little foundation.
Bailey had told story OF cruel treat
ment, but the facts were that Bailey was
the aggressor in the dispute and had
called several friends 10 his assistance.
After striking Baroni a couple OF times,
II is alleged, Baroni knew he held the
license TO ran the shop so he determined
10 resist Bailey's usurpation and put the
latter out.

no arrests last night.
There is good story told at the ex-
pense OF "A we'll known young man of this
section and it probably viii! be long
time before he hears the last of t. A
few evenings ago he attended party in
Manton with two friends from this SEQ
fiop. The two latter were lsss bashful
than be so they decided To escort two
young ladies home. He waited for them
at the corner of Manton and Atwells
avenue and while waiting indulged in
his favorite pastime Of whistinR. He al
30 started 10 go across Manton avenue,
hut seeing two men across the road
started back. He suspected the two men
of hsviDg no good purpose in being ont
at $50 IN the morning. 1t seems the two
men had just the same idea about him.
They were policemen and they were
peaches too for they wanted In the worst
kind to take the young man who was
finely dressed and whistling IN for sus-
picious character. Tho younR man con
vinced the officers that he was all right
and that man intent on evil deeds did
not 90 about whistling "All Coons Look
Alike 10 Me" One of the officers
austed some OF the cobwebs out of his
brain and remem bered seeing two gentle
men going with ladies up the street and
bade the North Ender good night
An entertainment Will be given by the
pupils of st. Thomas Sunday school for
the benefit of the Christmas tree fund
