The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-07-17

Since the row which occurred Sunday
afternoon and evening at or near what is
known as Bucklins island in the Paw
tucket river IL has been learned that IL
Is quite a common thing for these affairs
to take place. although what is going ON
I'm that section seldom reaches the ears
OF the police.
II appears that II is the common prac-
tice for gangs Of men 10 go down there
Sundays and as soon as they are well
filled up on the beer which they take
with them there are rows which frequent
ly result in broken heads
The section is somewhat Isolated but
there are a few people who live in tha,
section and they don't like the conditions
q bit II is easy for the law breakers 10
elude the police II they are sent down
there because the place Is located so close
10 the Bhst Providence line II the Paw
tucket officers put In an appearance the
rowdes simply pass over into East Provi-
dence and they are safe from arrest,
II would be an excellent Idea for the
police departments of Pawtucket and
East Providence to get together and put
q stop TO this kind OF business.
