IN FIGHTING HOOD.
Crowd Was Too Large For OfIicers to
 Handle Saturday Night.

Reports of revolver shots at the cor her of North Main and Kingsbury streets about midnight Saturday aroused the people living in that vicin- ity. James F. Lunny, who lives on the south corner Of the street, went to his window and saw a crowd of about twenty men who seemed to be under the influence of drink. Mir Lunny ad- vised them to go home or he would ar rest them for breach Of the peace, and the answer he got came from a loaded revolver, at least if looked that way to Lunny, for shot was fired. Lunny immediately got into his clothes, but when he got on the street the crowd had disappeared np Cooke street Lunny followed up after finding Patrolman Phelan and they discovered the crowd near St Margaret's school Everyone in it was in a fighting attitude, evi- dentlY prepared to have general scrap. Officers Phelan and I,lnny jumped into the crowd, determined to get one or two Of the hell!gerents. The moment Lunny put his hand on one he was surrounded by the others, and seeing there was trouble in the air and that discretion was the better part of valor, he let his captive go. The crowd then ran away in all directions.

 ING THE MISSION.

The women's mission at St Francis Xavier's church closed yesterday af ternoon at o'clock and the men's opened last evening and will be con. tinued for a week. The reverend father who preached the sermon last night said he was very much pleased to see such large number present and hoped that they would keep 1t mp, adding that 1t was an easy thing enough to attend the evening exer- cises, but that the early mission mass was the real test. It was evident from what he said that he suspected that many would not answer the roll call at 5 o'clock In the morning, but if the good father entertained such Il notion he must have been agreeably disappointed when he appeared to say mass at 5 o'clock and found even more awaiting him than were present. at the opening service the night before. The father Congratulated the early .risers, expressed much pleasure at seeing so many on hand, but didn't appear to wonder at it at all. Tn fact 1t was plain from what he said that he knew the church would be crowd ed
