chi { OF Police KImbali Gives Lesson 10
Three RCwdies.

Three bad young men from South
Providence went into Thornton yester-
day somewhat under the influence OF
liquor. with the intention of running
the town" They visited number or
stores and used loud words, but got out
without succeeding m getting into
night. AT Last they saw a party OF
young folks who were enjoying them
selves In and around the pavilion. and
thlther they went. They proceeded 70
the dancing floor. and began 10 insult
the young women. One or the TRIO
stepped from the hall 10 the piazza,
where two young ladies were sitting,
and began 10 annoy them. A young
man went TO the assistance of the girls
and asked the fellow to leave. but the
reply was anything but polite. The
Young ruffians chums saw he was like
ly 10 get into a fight and they hurried
TO his side. All three brushed" up to
the young man who dared TO interfere
with what they termed their fun.
But the young man ordered the roughs
10 leave. and that at once. Then there
was a scrap but in less time than IL
takes to tell II the three South Provi-
dence men lay in heap, and when they
picked themselves up were ordered
again TO leave the grounds, which they
did. but only to go into the village and
dared to. The young man VINO gave
them thrashing on the grounds fol-
lowed them, and for the second time
knocked them right and left and then
chased them out of the village, and ne
would have arrested them had there
have been any place to lock them up.
The young man was Chief of Police
Kimball, who, though small man,
was too much for the rowdies. Mr..
Kimball did not use any club or billy
on the men, nor did he ask for any as
sistance, and those who know him best
knew that he needed no assistance. The
men went out of town Ignorant OF the
fact that they had come in contact with
the chief of police of the town, but
should they ever venture In another
such trip after the lookup is con-
etructed they will not get off so easy.
The school committee. accompanied
by Superintendent of Health Barnett.
visited all of the schools In town yes
terday, and at the next meeting of the
council will recommend such repairs
and changes that they deem advisable.
The fire company connected with the
British Hosiery Company had an OPP
portunify q night or two ago to exem-
plify their ability to fight fire. for the
millinery shop of Mrs. Thomas Barrows
was on fire. which was caused by the
upsetting of a lamp. The boys did
good work.
Ex-Councilman Wood has been con-
f1ned to his home for some time by Ill
ness At first IL was thought that he
would not recover, but there has been
a great change for the better within
day or two.
This noon. to commemorate mys-
terious event in the history OF their
earthly existence. Patrolmen Feeney
and Stockly served big dinner at the
Chaffee street station. The menu was
clam cakes. baked bluefish. green corn.
bread, coffee and cigars. Charles Bur-
rows. driver Of the hurryup wagon, was
chef, and, according to the statement
Of the guests, Is deserving Of more
thanks than the patrolmen, for had the
cooking been left to them II would not
have been At to eat Both of the patrol-
men have excellent regulations as eat
ers. but are little on as cooks.
