DOUGHTY ASSAULT CASE.
Portland Authorities Determined to
Punish Leaders Of Mob.

Portland, Me-, Nov. 24.-Public in
dignation is still rising against the
miscreants who so brutally assaulted
State Enforcement Deputy Emerson III.
Doughty at 95 Center street, and the
police were busy yesterday in an ef-
fort to discover the ringleaders of the
mob.
Mayor Strout has expressed himself
as particularly deSirous that the guilty
parties should be apprehended. and it
is well known that the officers are on
the alert to discover evidence that will
connect certain suspected persons who
We're known to be in the mob at 95
Center street that night. One of the
most prominent OF these had left the
city yesterday. and another could not
be found by the police, so it was said.
Chief Dresser spent practically the
whole day in company with Assistant
County Attorney Bodge. investigating
the various phases of the case but the
officials did not deem it prudent to give
out anything for publication last
night. 1t may safely be stated, how
ever, that their work has not been en-
tirely fruitless, and there are likely to
be developments Of a decidedly inter-
eStng nature as their investigation of
the case progresses.
1nasmuch as there has been some criti-
cism of the police department on account
of the statement that was made that
more than half an hour elapsed between
the tife the mob attacked Deputy
sistance arrived. 1t may be said that the
deputy has since given more particular
statement of the time that he arrived at
the Center street saloon, which makes it
certain that not more than Is minutes
elapsed after he was attacked before Ser
geant Small arrived, and the other Off
GERS came few minutes later. 1t is also
a fact that the patrolman on that beat
had passed just before Deputy Doughty
arrived. so it may be correctly said that
the Center street locality was not left
uncovered for more than 20 minutes at
the outside,
One effect of this painful occurrence
which has stirred the city to its depths.
has been to close up the places on Center
street. and other places which are under
weil grounded suspicion of being liquor
dives. Tho place Mt 95 Center street pre-
sents a desolate appearance. The front
door which was battered in by the mob
is closed and the curtains at the win
dows are closely drawn. The sweeping
order of Chief Dresser to clear the street
of loafers, which resulted in the arrest
of James Walsh. who refused to obey
the orders of the officers. has driven off
the usual gang of hangerson which are
usually to be seen on 1.-The avenue and
a quiet reigns in this usually turbulent
quarter which indicates wholesome fear
Of the results which may arise from this
latest and most abominable defiance of
law
Deputy Doughty was more comfortable
yesterday, but he is still under the doc
tors care, and it will be some time be-
fore he will be able to resume his aisua,
active efforts against the offenders
against the liquor law and the peace of
the State.

the Football Team.
stood around over two hours IN the wet
slush and rain to see the team battle
for the deciding game of the fall. That
the better team won is admitted by
even the most ardent supporters oil
Gardiner The Cony plaVclS were alive
every minute and got their plays go
ing in good shape. considering the con
dition Of the field. Fast playing could
not be expected, as the runners were
unable tn get IA decent footing in the
middle field which was muddy and
rough.
CAPTAIN stuart Of tonY was the best
ground gamer for the Augusta hoNS
and made two long runs Reside SeNera
shorter ones and he was in the game
every minute. His short run from
which the touchdown WAS made i'll the
SECOND period showed his ability to una
a hole and by twisting and turning n"
managed to carry the ball over the
line. His goal at an angle was a diff
cuIt one but was Il fine one. Cooper
also carried the ball in fine shape and
materially assisted in the score. IN
the second half he was used IN carry
ing the ball ANA made a number OF
good gains.
For Gardiner Captain blanchard
played a fine game and carried the bah
we'll. making a number of runs. HIS
tackle in one play also prevented C"hH
from scoring a second time. George
Talbot was right in the game every
minute and his running with the hall
was Il feature. He tumbled the pan
when tackled when he had it WITHIN
the Toward line and thereby lost Gar
diner its best chance of scoring. Love
lv made a number of good tackles and
the other men on the team played IL
good defensive game most OF the time.
Although the weights as announced
showed the two teams to average about
the same it looked as if the Cony team
was considerably heavier than was
stated and the way they put the Dali
through the line showed that there
was considerable weight behind it.
The game settles for this fail the
question of supremacy of the TWO
teams but it was no diScredlt to Car
diner to lose the game as the boys dld
the best they coutd and fought every
inch of the ground.
Gardiner kicked off to Cony. The
first kick was dribblc along the
ground and as it did not 60 10 yards
was brought back for second KICK.
The next one went well into Cony's
territory and Gingrow tackled the play
er as soon as he got the ball. Stuart
went around the left end and made
the distance in two downs. He fol-
lowed this with a run of about % yards
and then with another of Il yards.
Grenier was tried but made no gain.
Then a delayed pass was tried and
netted II yards. After this Gardiner
held and got the ball on their 3O-yard
line
Talbot went ahead four yards and then
forward pass added Il yards more. T..
Talbot getting the ball on the tumble,
Gardiner tried double pass, Talbot to
Blanchard, but the latter slipped and
made no gain. Blanchard made no gain
and the ball went to Cony.
Stuart went through for II yards.
