OFFICERS
BEATEN BY
SWEDES

At about $50 o'clock last evening, there
was lively fight near the bridge on the
Silver Hook road in the town OF War
wick. The alarm was given by William z:
Ayen. who conducts the Roadside on
Warwick avenue. cranston side OF the
Pawtuxet.
Officers Allen and Miller OF the War
wick force responded leaving officer Bud
long at the station. when they arrived at
the hotel on the side OF the bridge they
found two strapping Swedes insanely In
toxicated hurting rocks and other missiles
through the windows OF Barney Bennett's
hotel because he refused to admit than
to get drink, the house being closed for
the night.
The officers proceeded TO make arrests.
but the Swedes vigorously, objected and a
rough and tumble fght ensued. During
the melee ono OF the Swedes secured
grip on Officer Aliens club and wrenohed
II away from him. breaking the strap
from his wrist Armed with the club, the
Swode proceeded to put II over the offl-
GERS head with such vigor that the SER
want OF the law was quickly down and
out. In the meantime officer Miller was
struggling with his man and was In a
fair way 10 bring him under submission
when the second swede brought the club
down over his head. The blow was a
heavy one and felled the policeman. The
Swedes then went away.
After Miller had regained to some de-
gree possession OF his senses. he assisted
Allen 10 his feet and succeeded In getting
him back 20 the police station. Officer AL
len was In much the worse condition and
was incapable Of helping himself 10 any
great extent so that he was sent TO his
home I'm Pawtuxet.
officer Budlong In the meantime. had
called the Auburn station and notified the
two officers there OF what had occurred.
Then, with Officer Miller. he started down
the road again TO find the Svedes. At
Park avenue they were met by the two
Auburn patrolmen Officers Hazard and
Legacy Thus reinforced the party con-
tinued on its way TO the bridge and near
where the fight had occurred they found
the men they wanted. There was some re-
sistance. but this time the officers were
too strong and they succeeded in taking
their men 10 the building on Broad street
that serves as a lookup.
Later I'm the night Chief OF Police Bigbee
transferred the prisoners 10 the station at
Knightsville. and this morning they were
arraigned before Judge Palmer i'm the
Eighth district court and held for the
grand jury.
