party was made up OF Polanders and this
made music a necessity. stephen Lobereas

one-nan band to change the tune. but the
leader thinking that he had full charge OF

was prevented by one OF the party
This morning Seedie was arrested on n
warrant charging him with making an
assault upon Lobereas with. a knife.
