l FAIRFIELD
 There was a good deal of indignant comment in town yesterday over the
 disturbances created on Sunday even ing by intoxicated men at a grocery
 store near the general chemical. or acid works. as they are called. and by men and women at Turney's corner. At about o'clock in the evening half a dozen men. and two or three Wom- en, came down Turney's road, from street. to take a trolley for Bridge port. They had spent at least a DOT tion of the day at a place known as
 the Golden house. When they reach. Oliver Turney. one of the men at tempted to assault a woman. and
 knocked her down Very vile langu- age was used. The woman screamed. and aroused the whole neighborhood. She managed to get away from the
 man. but was twice more felled to the ground. MT Turney and Arthur Perry were sitting on the porch of the
 house. and both rushed to the rescue of the woman. Men and women came from other houses and telephone mes sages were sent to Sheriff Burr and to
 the police of Bridgeport. The men left the women and attacked both MT. Turney and MT. Perry. The latter re- ceiyed a severe blow on the head be- hind the ear, and MT. Turney was set
 upon by three men and thrown to the ground. He defended himself as well as man of his years could, and back
 ing up against bank managed to
 blow on the face. As the neighbors
 began to collect. and trolley hove in sight, the party boarded the car and started for the city. They took
 MT Turney's hat along with them. An effort was made yesterday to ferrit out the men and as good clue has
 been found the result promises to be
 satisfactory The night was dark. and it was difficult to recognize the of lenders. Mrs. Turney has been pros trated by the event.
 It seems that many men and women are in the habit of visiting the beach, and making disturbances. much to the annoyance of peaceab1y disposed citi zens. But this is the first time -nen doorsteps. It was suggested yester- day that the town be incorporated in to a borough. and that two or three | men be paid to act as patrolmen-
 that men were drinking carousing
 and ''murdering a woman" in a place back of a grocery store. across the
 railroad from the General Chen Chemical come up and preserve the peace. He took Attorney Clitus King. MT. Beck with. and another gentleman in his
 automobile. and hastened to the spot. Once inside the high fence which sur rounded the beer garden he found at least half a Gozen husky Hungarians | in a state of intoxication. and many more drinking. It was thought to be the better part of valor not to attempt | to arrest the crowd on the spot, but the names of a number were obtained.
 and yesterday arrests were made of at least two men. and the sheriffs of
 this town and Bridgeport were hot on the trail of others. John and Andrew
 Krernick were taken to the cell in the | Town hall and locked up charged with | intoxication and breach of the peace. At five o'clock. D. m., Andrew How art. a aNSaloon keeper of Bridgeport ap-
 peared and out up $1O0 as bonds in | when called for. It is said the screams
 and shoutings of the gang could be heard as far into town as Main street
 As a gentleman said yesterday, this part of the town is fast becoming the | "rcd light district.''
 | It has been noticed for some weeks past that the trolley people are mak- | ing many changes in the personel of those who run the cars. Old trolley men who are familiar with the route
 arg either leaving the employ of the
 company. or being discharged. and in l their places new and very fresh men
 are being installed The result is that l many accidents occur and the public | is put to great inconvenience. The
 motorman fails to answer the bell of 1 the conductor; the white pole is no longer regarded as a stopping place:
 the wishes of the passengers are un- needed. and confusion prevails. On 1 Saturday evening woman who Is in
 the employ of Rev. Allen Beeman as | a domestic, was coming from Bridge port. She asked to have the car stop at the proper place. and the bell was rung. but the car went on to BensonSs S corner. and when the woman began | to step off the car, full power was | turned on. The result was she was | thrown to the ground, striking on her head, and remained unconscious for | over an hour. Dr. Donaldson was sent | for. and feared she might not recover.
 Mrs. Mercy Vose is the name of the
 near the Bulkley stables. where she | lies very sick. Many passengers on i the car saw the uncalled for accident. l MT. w. s. McKenney. of Pittsburg, is back again at the Hargrsve school.
 Warrants were issued in town yes- | terday for the arrest of at least ha f | a dozen men.
 About 300 people witnessed the Dariens defeat the Fairfields on Mo Garry's grounds on Sunday by score | of to 6. Drew started to pitch but the Dariens took kindly to his delivery and scored 4 runs in the first inning and more in the next 3. McGarry
 went in the box and finished the rest | of the game only allowing the Dariens | to score one run in innir-- Had the rest of the team batted McGarry l would have pitched them to victory,
 but they were weak at the bat. Lynch and Hefferon. two new men on the team. played well.
 T The. Star Juniors. as usual. defeated | a team from Bridgeport. on Buckley's | field: score to 2.
