GLOUCESTER. Mass, Sept. 1.-THE
fame Of Sandy Ferguson, the we'll

yesterday. Since the reconciliation with
his wife six weeks ago Sandy has been
living here at his mother-in-law' s house,
and has been very much in evidence
around the barraorls.
Ferguson went into Peter SteeFs res
taurant, and. according to Steel and
Miss Bond, a waitress, insulted the lat
ter and began to throw dishes at her.

He slipped and lis head went against
the ragged edges of the glass. That
stopped the rumpus and Sandy. bleeding
like a pig, was taken to the hospital.
while SteeTs place was a complete
wreck.
When Ferguson was patched up by
the doctors he was placed under ar
rest. When q bondsman appeared and
asked Sandy what he was in for. the
fighter replied mali .ious mischief The
warrant read malicious mischief" and
Ferguson was held n 500 bail until
Monday. Mrs. FergO M called on Steel
later and expressed her fears that Sandy
would make another visit TO the place.
