yu0 pOIlC0 bthtiUu Wuc q uos cPos last night for a time, 50 much 50 that Superintendent Beach and Sergeant Pagan had their hands full trying to keep everybody from talking at the same time 50 that they could ge. 3 line on what 1t was all about. Tie trouble grew out oi row that nap pened in a boarding house near Chat fiild street when Rafello Cervcra end Philip Carasteno, two linemen rom New Haven, tell out with Ouiselpe Lansone, a local barber, and gave him a run for his life and probably would have killed him If 1t hadn't been for the timely arrival of Ofhcer Cassin. who hove into sight Just in time to scare the bad meE away. Lanxone received a part of brick on the left jaw bone which brought him to the ground with such force that he battered both scf his knee caps and hurt his hip. Before he could get to his feet his sBsatlants sprang upon him aud gave him few slashes with razor and a couple or kicks. Finally he got away from them and ran through back yards, and railways onto Meadow street fnd onto Bank street. In front 0t the store of F. w. Lucas. the cigar deal- CT, Lanxone's pursners were closing in upon him and he dashed into the cigar store. The proprietor was stand- ine iuet inside the ioA,way and ste- inS what was up he raised his hands to Save Lanxone and received cut on the wrist. which required the atten- ton of a physician. The men acted as if they were thirsting for gore, but 1t appears somebody gave them the tip that an officer was hurry ing to the scene and they made good their escape just in time to avoid arrest.
 The Injured man went to the sta- ton with Oflcer Cassin where, through an interpreter he told how it started. He said they were in the house when the two linemen asked ham to SO out for pail of beer. He did 60 and after they got away with that they wanted him to fetch another but he drew the line at making the seeond trip and asked the New Haven fellows if they thought he had mo- thing to do but play errand boy for them. Then one word borrowed an- other until Lanxone saw that things were getting serious and hurried out of the house. The proprietor called him back and when he turned around to inquire what he wanted him for, somebody landed a brick on his jaw and following this up as already de- scribed.
 It was had job to get anybody to tell what the injured man was talk ing about and while Sergeant Pagan was making an effort to locate Omcer Colesanto, somebody created a big laugh by suggesting that one Of the new signors> be called. When Cole santo arrived and learned the facts he threw off his policeman's coat and helmet and disappeared into the darkness in citizens clothes. followed closely by Detectives Kennaugh. Dodds and Keegan. Prior to this Off, ficer Cassin surprised the crowd in the station by volunteering to go down and commence a hunt for the fugitives through the Italian colony pending the arrival of reinforce ments as soon as they could be se- cured. Superintendent Beach looked at the oficer and seeing that he meant 1t told him to go down there and keep on the main street until the rest of the officers reported to him. In the meantime the offenders had made good use of their time and al- though diligent search was made for them 1t didn't amount to any things.
