GANG FIGHTS IN NEW YORK.

Three men were dangerously wound
ed andi20 others more or less severe
ly hurt early yesterday in the most
serious :'gang fight" which has oc-
Cured in New York city in many years.
Police reserves in military formation
charged on the rioters and put an end
to the disturbance only after 100 shots
had been fired. According to the po-
lice reports, four gangs of roughts par
ticipated and for fully half an hour
fought hand to hand with revolvers,
sticks, stones and any other weapons
which were available.
The fight was precipitated when the
members of the Bear Athletic Club,
after dinner in q Tenth avenue beer
garden, began to leave the resort
shortly after midnight. While the
banquet was in progress the roughs
from rival organizations had gathered
at neighboring street corner. Ac-
cording to the police, the Gopher"
the Jungle Gang" and the Hounds
Of He'll, all organizations with which
the officers Of the law had had expert
ences, were represented in the mob at
the corner.
With the appearance of the Bear
Club diners the fight commenced.
With yells, curses and shouts the wait
ing gangsters threw themselves upon
their rivals. Then some one fired q
revolver. and in an instant gun play
was the order OF the hour. The fir
ing continued at irregular periods
until the appearance OF the police re-
serves.
Whenever gangster was felled he
was numerically beaten and kicked.
The entire neighborhood was thrown
into panic. Many OF the injured were
carried off by their companions be-
fore the arrival Of the police. Fully
125 men were still engaged in the
battle when the reserves reached the
scene. A half dozen arrests were
made.
