John Costello came in from Moosup, |
Conn. yesterday morning, and was about
the square but very few moments, when |
he proceeded to get full. At noon time
ne had on fighting jag. and was taken
IN tow by Patrolman Mclaughlin at
Chaffee street.
Costello objected to being arrested and
began to fight so much so that the pa
trolman called upon Constable John Nc
Avoy Of the Atlantic mill to assist MIN
as the paatrolman did not care TO use
his club on the man.
Costello was carried bodily TO the sta
ton and here 1t took three men to handle
him without resorting TO harsh measures
When asked what his name was he re-
piled, that he was Patsy Parker and
he could lick any man in the station. This
morning he was quite a different chap.
and had every appearance OF being
well bred fellow. and was more so. when
ne found that Captain Rowe and he had
I'm days gone by been fellow workmen,
but the captain could not save Costello
from trip to the police court.
LETTER CARRIERS GRIT.
One of the most impressive instructions
given to a letter carrier when he accepts
q position from Uncle Sam is that he
must look out for the mail in his charge,
and this was demonstrated last evening,
when one of the collectors OF the local Of
fee showed a great deal of grit and
faithfulness on Broadway.
He was picking" up mail with team,
and In passing car his wagon tipped
over and his horse began to run, but the
carrier pluckly held on to the animal
and succeeded In regaining control OF him
but not until he had been badly bruised
and shaken up.
The young man would and was by law
obliged to cling TO the mail. and the act
of last evening was characteristic of the
general run OF men, who are employed In
this work.
