a house on West Bleschery street, was
taken into custody last evening, he being
charged with making a criminal assault

The police and those who reside In the
neighborhood OF Buchanans home say
that there Is not house in the city where
lower bred scenes are enacted than this
one as the men and women who visit the
house arc addicted TO drink and are as
low as man or woman can possibly get.
Buchanan has several children who are
looked upon with much pity, for they are
bright and the older ones are at work
and care for the smaller ones. Their
father. who Is n big buriy chap. apparent
ly does not care TO work. Last evening
a woman named O'Brien In company with
a man named Fearney called at the house
and their actions were such that Mary,
Ruchanan's oldest daughter. called at the
Chaffee street police station and asked
that her father and his callers be arrest

chanan had attempted an assault upon

children desire that their fB ther be held
for non support we'll. and In fact they
do not want him In the house AT all
Those who have been the bread winners

comfortable with him out Of the way.
