tion Gang" wandered into the square this
morning. These important officials had
evidently been attending a long and in
teresting session OF the executive commit
tee OF the organization where champagne
or some other intoxicating liquor was
forced upon this innocent bunch"
The party nearly numbered three. the
third one probably acting as spy or
guide. his position in the organization not
being learned at this time. Opposed to the
gang ar. % men who wear blue suits and
have headquarters on Chaffec street. and
at the dropping OF a hat or even tooth
pick the blue coats Of Chaffee street will
start a battle with the "Junctionites.
The stray officials OF the gang landed
at the foot Of Broadway shortly after 6
O'Clock this morning and a the cham
pagne or other stun began 10 make Itself
manifest and the members OF the gang
fight among themselves.
The battle started I'm by the spy or
guide making an attempt To- display is
fighting qualities upon Chief of STAFF Nc
Govern and for a few moments the
guide had rather the best OF the display
for with all of his dignity the chief of
staff lay prone upon his back I'm a narrow
ally and was held down by the manly
form OF the guide
Commander-in-Ch hief Dolan seeing that
his army might be disrupted in strange
land ordered hi~aIvisor TO call the skir-
mish off
The opposing force from the station
who are ever on the alert, was as usual
so formed that tho commander in chief,
his chief Of STAFF and spy or guide were
mmnently in danger of being bottled
up. and that ls just what happened 20
the two first named
The contending forces consisted OF but
two men and this squad was led by Ser
geant Potter. the rest OF the force being
Pstrolman Mowry.

In line, marched up Broadway to Valley
street and with left wheel boldly
marched down Valley street and right
here is where the "bottling up" was ac-
complished for tho sergeant advanced
north along Valley and Pstrolman Now
ry followed the rear Of the Junctionite
army
Hero tho junctionites not only under
took 10 relieve their common enemy Of
their arms, but were going 10 AZ least
wound them. but the blue coats besides
being armed with good sized hickory
stick. etc. had tho ma iesty ~ the law on
their side. and tho result was that the
delegation from tho "hill" were escorted
10 a blue box fitted with electric fxinzs
for tho purpose OF calling assistance.
This blue box apparatus was set in
motion and in n fow seconds a pair Of
horses drawing n saO0 chariot was on
hand and into this the sergeant and his
squad with sinister smiles on their faces
loaded the commandor-inc chief and his
chief 81 staff
The guide Is n cute little chap. for he
went or at rapid rate. and no doubt
was fast asleep at his home by the time
that his associates were being billed at
the station on chat street
The two WORTHLESS will have all OF today
10 consider their Unsuccessful attempt to
captain their common enemy. Tomorrow
th"y Will no doubt be assessed g. and
costs each for being drunk.
