Band First Attempted to Enter the New Haven Theater-Set the
 Bridge Afire.

Another student outburst that prov ed one of the most serious outbreaks since the big Pierson hall trouble of a couple of years ago occurred last eve ming with the trouble zone or the Temple street railroad bridge and Freshman row as the center of the disturbance. The first symptoms of the disturbance came early in the evening when crowd of students gathered at Polls theater and at- tempted to make their way in They were repulsed, and shortly after in a body they rushed the New Haven. The crowd swept by the ticket gather CT and through the wide foyer with ease. Mounting the steps they at tempted to get into the orchestra floor but the police on duty there with the ushers turned back the stream and they rushed out again, A hurry call was sent to the police and Sergeant Gibson at once hurried squad of seven to the theater, but when they arrived there was no one of the dis turbers In sight and they returned empty handed,
 The students then took their way to Temple street and began the wind up and most serious part of the even- ing there. They started a bonfire on the sidewalk of the bridge which re- quired the calling out of the chemical department from the central engine house to extinguish, and which did considerable damage to the bridge in the bargain. The railing and the side- walk were badly burned. The lights of the street lamps were smashed by the rioters and so bad rumpus creat- X ed that another hurry call for the po- { lice was sent in. This time eight off, [ cers went up in the wagon and on \ their return they had with them four
 students who were captured on the # scene. All were young fellows, They z are Robert LaMontaigne, who is a \ second year man in the Sheffield
 scientific school and who Is nineteen x years of age; Waldo D. Frank, eigh- A teen, of 200 York street who is a < freshman In the academic depart Y ment; Robert Goldman, another ' freshman in the same department, x who is but seventeen years of age, x and John B. Westcott of the academic 5 department, LaMontaigne Is a prom 8 inent member of his class, being one x of the runners on his class track team, x which earned him his numerals and ! members of the Colony society. He { was quickly bailed out. Westcott and 2 the other two men were let out little later on bail.
 The police went out determined to \ make an example of any they caught as 8 warning that these riots and es- x capades must cease, LaMontaigne, 1t is said, was caught painting numerals on the fence. Earlier in the evening another student by the name of Ed win Fisher was arrested for painting < the bridge He, with the four taken later, will face the court this morning
 on charges of injury to railroad prop q erty. He rooms at 419 Temple street
 and is twenty years of age.
 In the work of the arrests two of
 the officers were injured Deskin had
 his left hand badly sprained as the re-
 suit of fall. He put his hand out to save himself and fell with all his
 weight upon it. He fell among some
 glass and some of that may have pen setrated the hand. He was relieved from duty on his return to head aquarters, and attended by Surgeon
 Spier. Officer Gallagher was also
 hurt. An attempt was made, it is
 said, to get one of the prisoners away
 from him and in the tussle he was #hurt on the hand.
 LaMontaigne claimed that he was 4simply making his way home when Inc
 was arrested. The academic mer 8claimed that they were simply ovel
 there at the fire as spectators. There
 Twas an academic parade also in tht sIevening, it appears, and it is said tha athe two met at the bridge. No cause flor the outbreak of last evening coult
 be found No one could tell of any AL
