spent the greater part OF last night in a
cell at the Chaffee street station and this
morning was before the police court on
the charge of intoxication. A little later
he was before the Sixth district court on
the charge OF larceny. Late last evening
Mrs. Annie Lannon. who lives at 81 Kos
suth street, sent word 10 the Chaffee
street station that a man had annoyed
her while on her way home from the
store where she Is employed. She also
said the man was bold enough TO follow
her even TO the door OF her house. A
little later she missed from her clothes
line a number OF articles OF wearing APP
parel When the officers arrived she gave
them a good description of the man and
a few moments later he was in custody.
de was taken back to the house and was
identified by Mrs. Lannon At the same
time a number OF the residents in the
vicinity told the officers that they had
seen the same man removing articles
from Mrs Lannon's line. Some of the
articles were found on the sidewalk later.
A YOUNG HERO.
Charles McGrath a young man employ
ed by Dr. NJ. b. Milan, was little short OF
hero last evening. The streets were
well filled with men, women and chill
dren and there was general rush to get
under cover when a horse was seen COM
ing down Westminster hill at rapid
pace. McGrath, seeing that some one
might be injured made ready TO capture
the animal and when the horse was IN
front of the Olneyville Public market he
made a grab for the horses head and was
successful but he did not get the animal
under control until both man and horse
were on the sidewalk and came very
near plunging through the window of a
store.
Hanging to the harness was a part OF
q shaft and as this was dangling about
the horses body made 1t exceedingly
nervous. Many pleasant things were
said about Mr.. McGrath and his brave
act The horse was the property Of n
man named Corey and had been fright
ened by an automobile on Marshall
street.
NO FISH.
The concensus OF opinion is that Pa
troman Jones OF the Chaffee street po-
lice station. who went with two friends
on a fishhing excursion, got skinned
good and hard. None OF the officials at
the station found even the smell OF a
fish about the station last evening or this
morning and II is the custom OF police
men when they go fishing to divide their
catch with their associates at the station.
WILL HELP A LITTLE.
The force at the Chaffee street police
station was increased to the extent OF
one man at roll call last evening. The
man was John j. Conlon and he was very
much needed. There are many who do
not take kindly to the practice of sending
man from this station at night to do
duty in the Central district. especially
when the station Is short so many men
