yiously the name of the murdered man
had not been known and the police
were hindered in making an inVestiga-

fell to fighting and it's is said Barden
pulled q knife and stabbed Jacques
and then ran away.
Just then patrolman appeared and
the crowd scattered, but the policeman
seeing that some one had been hurt,
and that Barden had separated from
the others, started after him at top
speed After a hot chase he overlook
the fugitive and arrested him.
Returning to the place where the
other man lay, the policeman called
assistance. An ambulance came to
take the victim to the city hospital and
the prisoner was locked up in Station
10.
At the hospital the man was reported
dead and the authorities, said he was,
from the nature of the wounds, dead
before starting from the scene of the
trouble.

headquarters and several of the inspec-
tors claimed they recognized him as
being several times found guilty of
minor offences.
Bardcn was arraigned before Judge

and pleaded not guilty to the charge

the southwestern part of this country
is imminent and Sheriff Watson has
