The young men left their home at
Cranston in Frederick's fathers team
and were seeing the town, and when on
Dexter street were going at a much faster
rate of speed than is allowed by the city
ordinances. Parolman Gi1ord made an
attempt 20 hold them up but the would-be
sports had no idea OF having their fun
cut short, so they whipped up their horse
and drove over the patrolman. who was
knocked down, and the wheels OF the ear
riage passed over him. When the fast
drivers saw what they had done they
urged their horse along at a still greater
rate OF speed. but as Mr.. clifford. who was
not injured TO any great extent, hurried
20 a patrol box and sent word to the
Chaffee street station and informed Lieut.
Tyler OF what had happened. Patrolman
Jones was sent out with the patrol wagon
and was not long I'm learning that they
had driven up Hartford avenue. John
Giblin. the driver OF the patrol wagon,
was ordered TO break the record. and he

moments later they were landed at the

Mich REJOICING.
There appears 10 be much rejoicing
among the many friends OF the Buchanan
children, who have so we'll kept together
and behaved themselves since their mother
was taken from them. Their father. in
whom they supposed they had protector
and friend. has acted in manner that
has won for him the contempt OF ALL not

Now that he has got into the tolls OF
the police he bids fair to spend the next
few years OF his life ia jail, as he was
srraigned on the charge OF committing
an indecent assault upon little Mary Mel
VILE also for non support. His children
are the principal witnesses against him
