or the adjacent thoroughfares last night
had every reason to see. II he kept his wits
about him, that the police were looking for
trouble. They were not prominent under
the lampposts or In front Of lighted windows.
But II one kept a sharp lookout into dark
doorways and on the Swallowed side Of
alleys, he saw an unusual glittering Of he'll
NETS and badges in the gloom. There was
| q general air Of readiness to swoop down
upon the lawless. Things have come to
such pass In the Cherry Hill district that
such watchfulness Is necessary.
Early In November young and more or
less comedy woman not unknown TO the
lower Bowery and the resorts adjacent
thereto, transferred her affections from q
friend Of Monk Eastman's to a friend q
Tung lungs. Tung-Tung is an Italian
and by force Of might and craft Ii the
leader OF the spirits OF disorder who still
cling to the traditions of the Five Points
as they were when Dickens saw the neigh
borhood.
Tho transfer Of the womans affections
was particularly painful and Illuminating
to Monk Eastman and his followers, be-
cause II took place at public ball In New
Irving Hall In East Thirteenth street.
There was . difference OF opinion on the
ballroom floor in the course OF which several
shots were fired. The police chased every.
body into the street. and one man was hit
In q renewal Of the firing there.
Within q week Monk Eastman took .
number Of his young men. Who spend their
days In idleness and their nights In keep
ing track Of the earnings Of their women
supporters, down into the Mulberry Bend
district and there was another pistol battle
in which one man was killed.
Tung-Tung vowed vengeance. There
was a battle within week on Cherry Hill.
There were no Casualties that the police
Tunss forces descended on the candy
store Of .Yake-Yake' Brady In Roosevelt
street and there were two fusillades OF pistol
shots there In broad daylight one afternoon.
The police found fellow named Rioe with
three bullets In him.
who shot your they asked him.
.That's my business said he. Me
an the gang will get him all right.
So the police formed the habit Of visit
ing Bradys place and driving everybody
out OF y at every opportunity; ihey SAD
arine street ferry was no place for indis-
eliminate wild Western shooting up
The Monk Eastman crowd moved over 10
Delancey street and made their headquar-
ters In a saloon back room. There was a
Big Tom Foley. the Tammany leader
of the district, was appealed 70 by his oon-
s,ituepcy 70 do something. Did he 20
20 the police 20 use his inhuencef He
did not He summoned the eaders OF both
crowds 20 his saloon and set drinks upon
the bar before them and told them TO shake
hands and quit H. They shook hands
rather ginserly. whereuPon Big Tom told
them that ~ would do them II they didn't
behave. There Was an srmist'oe that
Nut the other day the police found q man
named Murray lying In Cherry street with
two pistoI bulleis IN him. H. vas asked
Who sl,ot him.
