A A DISTURBANCE.
Police Had to Use Clubs on Drunken
Rowdy.

Rowdy.
Frank Moore, a Northern Pacific
bridge carpenter. thought Friday
would he a good day to celebrate and
proceeded to put the thought into exc
cution by getting gloriously drunk.
But this as not enough. for him. He
became boisterous and used profane
and indecent language on the street.
He was approached by Chief Of Police
Bond, who told him that he must be-
have himself, ind his friends we're adj
vised at the same time to take him
into their care. This had the effect
of making Moore more boisterous and
abusive, saying that no policeman
could make him behave. Chief Bond
then arrested Moore and started with
him for the city Jail. Moore broke
loose and ran in the street up Montana
avenue, but when opposite Luder-
mans he was tripped up by Geo. Rob-
bins. He fell, but quickly arose and
turned on Robbins, when he slipped
and fell again. By this time both Chief
Bond and Policeman Corle arrived on

Moore in charge. but he showed fight,
and it was necessary for the officers to
use their clubs on him, for the man
was like a demon. They then succeed
ed in getting Moore to Jail.
The scene was witnessed by a num-
Der of citizens, and some Of them
thought that the police were too severe
with the man and that he should not
have been beaten when he was down.
Some one complained to the mayor,
who investigated, with the result that,
in his opinion the man received moth
ing but what he deserved, and the
police are not to be censured.
Moore's injuries, which at frs
were thought to be serious, were, OF
examination, found to be only slight
Friends of Moore had him Liberated
in the afternoon on a cash bail of $25
and he left the city that night. .

Connecticut Men Purchase Chicago
Brass Works for the American Com
pany.
Torrington, July 29-Negotiations
with the owners for the purchase of
the entire capital stock of the Chicago
Brass works of Nenosha, Wis, have
just been completed by three well
known Naugatuck valley men, A. A.

Waterbury, and James A. Doughty, of
Torrington. These gentlemen, with
Charles F. BROKER and John P. Elton,
constitute the executive committee of
the American Brass company, and 1T Is
assumed that the Kenosha plant will
ultimately become the property of this
concern
When interviewed this morning one
of the gentlemen stated that there
would be no change in the orgaization
at Kenosha, but that by the courtesy
of the management of the plant rep
of theirs is now on the
grounds looking attire their interests
He further stated that 1t was not yet
known what changes or improvements
will be made in the plant. AT present
it is progressive and busy and no doubt
its present policy will be continued
The plant is one Of the best known
factories in the west. It was founded
some fifteen years ago and the business
has steadily grown until now it is so
great that enlargement and improve
ment of the plant is absolutely de-
handed.

near Washington avenue, when a Wag-
on belonging to John Coyne, of Hallock
street, was put in the fire and consum-
eel. He was one Of the ringleaders of
the crowd that captured the wagon but
the police had been unable to locate him
up to few days ago.
They found out that McCabe acted as
a Waterman on the old steamer Cont
mental, which is gradually being taken
to pieces and sold, but for number of
days they have tried to find him on the
steamer without success. Yesterday
the two officers of the law who made
the arrest again went to the steamer,
but, as before, McCabe was out. They
got a sailboat of White and sailed in
the vicinity of the old boat, hoping that
their man would put in an appearance
soon. They were rewarded, for in about
an hour man was seen coming to the
Continental in rowboat. Detective
Smith and Policeman Hyde got aboard
the boat and were met by McCabe in
few minutes. The Waterman ordered

charge. He denied that he had had
hand in the affair, but later said that
he did. McCabe was taken to the How
ard avenue station, where he was lock-
ed up last night.
