Policeman Badly Pummeled.
To make things interesting, Night
Policeman Frank Wagner, tried very
unsMccesstully to handle three strong
husky fellows, and came out Of the
tussel with q terribly swollen and
blackened eye, and cheek as raw as
piece OF beef steak The three men
more or less interested in doing the
job were Geo. Robertson and Joe
Pomelo, two. prominent Kenmarites
and E. l.. Sutton, a Minot attorney.
Scene of the trouble, Chicago restau-
rant, North Main street. Time, p.
m. Tuesday morning. From what the
Independent can learn, the men had
been guilty of Les Majesty, having
made remarks to the effect that the
Minot police were no good, at least
that is what Wagner informs the In
dependent. Wagner couldn't stand
| it to have the force insulted, and got
up his Dutch. He followed the men
| into the Chicago restaurant, went to
one of the booths, and started lively
conversation with Pomelo. This led
Ito free for all fight in which Wagner
fell down with Pomelo on top OF MIN
He said that Sutton took his billy
away from him, and says someone
b held his right hand, and legs, While
Pomelo pummeled his face all over
until he cried that he had enough
and then some. After time, Wagon
er secured possession of his billy
again, and felt safe to a degree
Other police soon gathered, but none
Of the trio were arrested. Messrs
Sutton, Robertson and Pomelo claim
that they were merely defending
themselves, had done nothing out o
the way, and think the policeman
jwent too far to follow them into
restaurant, where they went to ge
/ something to restore the inner man
ARRESTS are not likely to follow.
