Trouble over Lunch Wagon-Death of
Albert q. Crocker-Special Borough
Meeting-Arcanum Club Entertained
Other Items of Interest.
There is considerable of a complicat-
ed mess over the ownership, or rather
the possession of the night lunch wag-
on on Colony street. AS was stated
yesterday morning William Dunnigan
of New Britain, who had been running
the business of late, skipped out and
Morris Guinan, the "all hot man, took
possession upon permission of the wife
of the proprietor, who skipped out.
Luke Martin went to New Britain and
bought the wagon Of Mrs. Dunnigan,
ST., who owned the same and leased it
to the late proprietor. Guinan, who
believed possession was nine points of
the law, refused to vacate and resort
to replevin was given to Sheriff Booth,
who, with Luke Martin, visited the
wagon early last evening and invited
Guinan to vacate, who refused to, and
a horse was procured and hitched in
the wagon, which, with the would-be
proprietor still in possession, was
drawn uptown to Booths stables,
where. after lively tussle, Guinan was
got outside, where he showed fight,
and the result was that he was locked
up for resistance to the officer. The
New Britain man has been doing quite
lucrative business of late, but was
unable to stand prosperity and has left
his business and gone, no one seems to
know where. How the case will end
can only be surmised, but it is believed
! that Guinan will have to settle in
court

The result of the special borough
