anarchists early today.

WAS on his way back TO the station.
Otto Bernaceio and Luigi Sassi have
been arrested and identified by the chief
as being connected with the attempted
assassination.
The shooting occurred about 4 a. m.
The affair fiiled the citizens with wrath
and indignation and az the two prisoners
were being taken TO the station IL was
only By the greatest effort on the part of
the police that violence to the two men
was prevented.
Last night a local society OF Italian So
cialists gave a party. About midnight
several persons who were known to be
anarchists appeared at the hall anu al-
most Immediately there was trouble. The
row increased until fists. clubs and even
reyoivers were used and the police were
summoned TO put stop TO the disturb

Chief Brown responded to the call with
his men. With considerable difficulty
they separated the combatants and took
away several weapons. ON learning OF
the true cause OF the fight they expelled
the anarchists from the place.
