A PREVALENCE OF RIOTS
DETAILS OF POLICE IN DIFFERENT
PARTS OF TOWN LAST NIGHT.
Sergeant Corrigan Exchanges shots
Mob Near Fountain Square-Ma-
lott Avenue Quieter.

II an outbreak of toughs occurs on the
South Side. 1.-The Boo gang is drunk again.
II similar uprising happens on the North
Side. the 'Bungaloos are out again." People
living in the southeastern part of town COM
plain against the reputation being given
their neighborhood in calling il the home
of the Boo gang, and 1t is expected that a
similar complaint will come from the north
part of town unless the brawls which are
occurring these days are stopped. The po-
lice seem to be unable to control the lower
class of young fellows, citizens say. and
they are going forth in gangs from all parts
Of town TO STAY either 1.-The inks" or other
gangs of wife guys" 1t is reported that
these gangs should not be classified as the
Boo gang or the Bungaloos. because they
are being organized now all over town
under loosening police system.
On account of the disturbance created
Monday night on Sanders street around the
stand of Cooper, the itinerant medicine
vender, patrolmen were stationed in that
vicinity last night by Superintendent Quig-
icy. The night before the crowd became
boisterous early in the evening. Sergeant
Corrigan, in the effort TO drive off the
toughs, chased them down an alley and,
to scare the men, fired a shot in the air.
The only effect this produced was TO bring
back four shots from one of the pursued,
who, after hearing several of Corrigans
bullets singing about his ears, made his es-
cape.
Anticipating further trouble among the
races" near Malott avenue, Superintend-
ent Quigley last night gave orders for a
sufficient number of sergeants and patrol
men to be on hand TO prevent the people
congregating in that neighborhood. Two
sergeants and eight patrolmen were sent
out about o'clock and others were held
in reserve. No trouble. however, resulted.
though several crowds were seen and dis
persed. The only call of the evening on ac-
count of gangs" was from Fountain
square," where 1t was reported that as
many as two hundred boys had gathered
and were planning to descend upon the
medicine show at Sanders and East streets.
Four Bicycle men were sent out and when
the lads saw the officers approaching they
scattered like covey of startled quail be-
fore their arrangements had been COM

last night and gave themselves up. They

and Charles z. Buoy, 1903 Malott avenue.
They are charged with riot.
Patrolman HUM had brush with the

duty. He was struck four times by bowl

he could not walk.

BARRETT LAW CONFISCATION
Points Raised I'm Federal Court by
Marion Property Owner.

James Charles, of Marion, yesterday asked
the United States courts to enjoin the city
of Marion and the Warren-Scharf Asphalt
Company from improving Washington
street in Marion. He says he owns prop
erty on Washington street, between High
land avenue and the Mississinewa river,
which has an aggregate frontage of about
1000 feet. About 80 feet of this property
is worth S. a foot front and the remainder
is worth SO a foot front. He claims that
the Improvement is unlawful, because 1t
will not benefit the property to the extent
of the cost; because it is a violation of the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitution,
providing that property shall only be taken
by law after due process and full payment
for it is made; because the plans for the
improvement and the specifications were
changed after the Improvement was de-
clared a necessity; because the city debt
is $751;, 500 and the taxable property for 1898
was So, SCI, 100. and the cost chargeable di-
rect to the city will exceed $4,000, and thus
bring the debt to more than the debt limit; :
because the action violates Sections IL and
81 of the bill of rights of Indiana in the
same particular as the Constitution Is vio-
lated. He asks that an injunction may be
issued.
Neither Judge Woods nor Judge Baker
was in the city, SO no temporary injunction
was issued
