which the following extract is taken: II

with larger piles of wealth. but none that
can boast of bra yer men, or fairer women
than ours. ! have seen greater cities, but

altogether, do not think there is State

Thomas Geary, a broad-shouldered ma
rine, go. his months pay yesterday, and

liquor. From the testimony OF number

pose admirably.
For 4 brief time he practically controlled
the section OF the city adjacent to tie
Marine Barracks. He assaulted young
man named Flood in Belts cigar store;
broke window in the store; chased twu
passers-by on the street: tackled d team ui
horses in true gridiron style; kicked Police
man William Santmeyer in the stomach;
attempted TO bite Policeman Osterman, and
also assaulted three brother-marines, who
tried IT, pa,;ify him.
The specific charges against Geary was

to Geary's terrific struggles after they
placed hini under arrest.
