CONTABLE NEARY'S
DESPERATE ENCOUNTER
James Corrigan, of the Falls, Resists
Arrest and Makes Fierce Onslaught
on the Constable, Who Lays His
Assailant Out and Sends Him to
the Hospital for Repairs.

Constable Edward Neary last night
had the most desperate encounter in
his experience. with the exception of
the night Of May of last year, when he
was nearly slashed to death by old
Nathan cobb. who is now in the East
ern penitentiary for the crime.
Last nights dangerous experience
was with James corrigan. proprietor of
the Farmers Rest" at the Falls. Cor
riSan is Il physical giant. almost, if not
the equal Of the fearless constable.
When Neary went to Corrisan's house
last night To arrest him. on the charge
of assault on his wife and pointing
pistol. Corrigan refused to go. He
yielded. after some persuasion, but
turned on the constable when out in
the yard. He grabbed a cobblestone
and was about to hurl it when Neary
pulled his revolver. Cooking it. he
would have fired in another instant.
Corrigan held the missile in the air for
several minutes. until neishbors per-
suaded him To be docile. \ carriage
was procured and into it the pair
climbed. Before they had gone two
hundred feet. Collisan turned on Neary
and grabbed him by the shirt. Out of
the carriage they tumbled, struggling
desperately. corrigan got hold Of am
other stone. when Neary. to save his
skull. came down on his prisoners head
with his stout black thorn walking
stick torrigan continued to make ef-
forts to WELD the stone, but finally
went down under the blows.
When torriSan was picked up he was
weak from the loss of blood and col
lapSed. He was taken to Emergency
hospital, where he was found to be
suffering from scalp wounds. He soon
rallied. and had to be put in Il straight
jacket. and was later removed to Jail.
