FULTON STREET SURPRISE ENDS
IN A FREE FOR ALL
FIGHT.
TWO MEN ARE BADLY CUT UP.
NICHOLAS VOGELGEsANG AND ED
WARD BRADIGAN HAD TO BE
SEWED UP.
TWO SUSPECTS SURRENDERED
To the Police Yesterday and Were
Charged With Assault-They
Deny Their Guilt.

A surprise party on Herman Cenk,
living on Fulton street, between Pal
ace and James streets, broke up in
free-for-all fight about o'clock yes
terday morning, and when the hostil-
tiles had ceaed Nicholas Vogelgesang
and Edward Bradigan were found to
have been more or less seriously cut up
during the fracas. Joseph Hayek and
John Thomes, two young men who
were at the party, were said to have
done the cutting, and yesterday af-
ternoon gave themselves up at the CEN
trail police station, where they were
charged with assault with a danger
Gus weapon.
The fight took place outside Of Cenk's
home, where, according to the young
fellows locked up, it was started by
Vogelgesang and Bradigan, the former
Of whom, it is said, assaulted Thomes.
While Thomes and Vogelgesang were
fighting, Bradigan attempted to take
a hand in the mix-up, it is alleged,
when Hayek engaged him in conflict.
By this time number of the guests
who had adjourned to the street had
taken sides in the f1stic discussion, and
things became decidedly lively. There
were no policemen around at that time
Of the morning, and the belligerents
''went to finish" When half a dozen
had been put OUT and the others had
scattered, swelled eyes and blody faces
evidenced a hard fight. Bradigan and
Vogelgesang were the worst used up,
the former being unable for time to
regain his feet. An examination show
ed him, to have received several knife
wounds about the face, while his cloth
ing and body were also cut in a num-
ber of places. Vogelgesang's only in
jury was a three-inch cut on the right
arm, above the elbow, which was
dressed by DR.. McCord. Bradigan was
taken to his home, where he was rest
ing comfortably yesterday. 1t is
thought that his wounds are only Of a
superficial nature. Vogelgesang lives
at 927 Randolph street
Thomes and Hayek both deny hav-
ing used knives and declare that, if
any one was cut, it must have been
done by some one else in the general
fracas. Hayek lives with his parents
at 800 Palace street, and Thomes at S93
Randolph street.

DID NOT SEE 1T,
But officer O'NeiI Arrested Chris
tensen for Assault.

The decision of Judge Orr to the
effect that a police officer could not
make an arrest for an offense which he
did not witness was urged by Christian
Christensen, the proprietor Of a res
taurant at 3701a Minnesota street, last
evening, but Officer O'Neil refused to
listen to his claims and locked Chris
tensen up on the charge of assault and
battery. The charge against the
restaurant man constitutes a state case
or felony, and it is claimed by the pU-
lice that Judge Orr's decision only ap-
plies to miSdemeanOrS.
Christensen is accused of assaulting
Thomas Mcclure, a stranger in the
city. The alleged attack took place
near Christensen's place of business,
when, it is alleged, he knocked Nc
Guire down and kicked him in the
face The latter, covered with blood
made complaint to Officer O'Neill, who
considered the case such as to justify
Christensens arrest without war
rant Christensen objected to being
taken into custody but to no avail. He
was later released on $25 bail. Nc
Guire was also locked up on the charge
of drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

PATROL WAGON SMASHED.
Street Car COIIided with 1t on Fifth
Street.

Z.
While responding to call from box
9 last evening the central patrol wagon
was struck by a Grand avenue car at
Fifth and Minnesota streets. Con-
ductor Bumgardner, who was driving
the patrol team, was thrown from the
seat to the ground between the horses
and painfully bruised. He at first
thought he had escaped without seri-
Gus injury, but an hour after the ac-
cident experienced such severe pains
in his shoulder that Capt. Rouleau re-
lieved him from duty and sent him to
his home. The tongue of the patrol
wagon was broken off at the axle.
The accident occurred about s o'clock
and might have resulted far more seri
ously The patrol wagon was going
at a gallop on Minnesota street to the
box on Fifth street, and the horses
were upon the tracks before the car
was observed. 1t is said that the car
was going at high rate of speed, and
that the motorman failed to sound the
gong. When the danger was realized
it was too late for Conductor Bum
gardner to stop his team, the only
escape being i'll greater speed to set
across ahead of the car. This was i'm
possible however, and the rear end Of
the wagon was struck with great force,
throwing 1t around almost even with
the horses. In falling from the high
seat, Bumgardner struck the back Of
one Of the horses and thus sustained
less severe injuries.

Louis Brenkman, a resident of Glad
stone, was held up by three footpads
on Dale street, near the bridge over
the Omaha railroad tracks, shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning, and rob-
bed of s1.50 in money and a silver
watch. Brenkman had been visiting
friends in the city and was driving to
his home at Gladstone. He was alone
in single buggy and just as the bridge
was crossed three men ran into the
street, stopped his horse and ordered
him to throw up his hands. While one
of the hold-up artists held the horse,
his companions jumped into the buggy
and overpoWered Brenkman. He resist
ed the robbery, but was throttled, so
that he could not cry for help, by one
of the thieves, while the other searched
his pockets. Securing his valuables,
the robbers ran down the sidewalk
and disappeared under the bridge. The
thieves were young men, and so far as
Brenkman saw, had no weapons, but
he could give only a meager description
Of them. In the struggle Brenkman
was struck several blows in the face,
but was not seriously hurt.

SALOONS MUST LIE Low.
Sunday Law Violations to Be Kept
Very Quiet.

AS the time for the spring election
draws near the mayor and the police
are drawing the lines a little tighter on
the saloonkeepers. Acting on fnstruc-
tions from Mayor Doran, the police
Saturday night visited the two hun
dred and odd saloons in the city and
instructed the proprietors to have their
places conducted as quietly as possible
on Sunday. The policemen were in
structed to say that, while the saloons
need not close up, it would be advis
able for the front doors to be closed
and the curtains tightly drawn, and no
loud language or boisterous conduct
would be allowed. The mayor it is
claimed, issued the order to head off,
if possible, any public action on the
part of the Christian Citizenship
league the members of which are
gathering information in relation to the
violation Of the law as to the closing
Of saloons on Sunday.

That the affair was such an enjoyable

missionaries from the province of Aleppo, on
the pretext that their mission for the distri-
button of relief is likely to cause disturbances.
The United States legation has ignored the de-
mand and will continue to do so until def

the demand is merely the first step to gen
