When Police Officer Curley attempted
to separate two fighting Firms in an East

upon by a crowd of their countrynen,

trunk enough to be careless of conse-
quences.

Ting some little difficulty when officer
Curley stepped into the saloon and at
tempted to stop the fight. He placed the
two men under arrest, When their friends
proceeded to effect their" release. Curley
used his club vigorously, but the crowd
was too big for him to handle. He backed
into a corner of the room and was put
ting up a lusty defense against half a
dozen assailants when Officers Curran
ard Radmilovich came to his assistance,
arresting Koski, Elias and Antoine Moki
