Two DISTURBANCES
OF LAST NIGHT
An Assault in the Dundaff Section.
Patrolman James Encounters a
Stubborn Prisoner-Stirring Hap
penings of an Evening.

Two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES serious as
| sault in the Dundaff section, the other
stubborn resistance of a policeman,
Patrolman James Bell. was the GRIM
maj record of last night. the most stirr-
ing happening of a single evening in
Carbondale in some months
Henry Buckert. blacksmith, Dundaf If
street was the victim of the assault.
He was badly beaten by two brothers,
he claims, William and Frank Monroe,
over trivial happening.
Harry Booth, fireman, was the man
who had the somewhat disastrous en-
counter with Patrolman Bell.
The bad beating which Buckert sus-
tanned appears to be the sequel of
children's quarrel.
The son of Buckert came into the
residence on Dundaff street early last
evening showing a slightly SCARED face,
which he cried was caused by one of
the Monroe children burning him with
a match. The chid's father, after
hearing the story. started for the Mon
roe home Il few blocks away to de-
mand an explanation and satisfaction
lie alleges that he was set upon by the
elder Monroe brothers, VIII and Frank
as soon as he entered their place. One
OF them. he said had revolver. which
he discharged, shooting him (BuckerD
in the face.
Constable Neary was called to the
scene. He could see no signs of IA pis-
tol wound on Buckert's face, though
he was disfgured by the beating he
received and was obliged to call for a
physician. Buchert claims one of the
Monroe's had revolver, which he fired.
The suppositon is that one of the Mon
roe's did have a revolver, which they
deny, possibly Bucherl was struck on
the face with the butt end. There is
such a mark as could be produced thus.
and then the shock of such blow
might lead one to believe he was shot.
Buche-t was felled during the mix
UP
William Monroe was arrested and a
warrant is out for Franks arrest. They
deny the assault claiming that Bu-
ebert struck them and then fell.
Booth, who had the trouble with
Patrolman Bell was under arrest for
creating a disturbance of some sort. At
the corner of Park place and Main
street, he rebelled against going fur
ther He demonstrated by loud pro-
flaming. The patrolman went to grab
him, when Booth struck out There
was a miX-up in which the policeman's
club was used half dozen times.
Booth was laid low and arrested, but
released later to appear this morning
at o'clock. The happening created
quite stir. attracting big crowd in
front of the city building
