marred only by a rumpus which took
place at the park Saturday night, a
Lake Linden young man being struck

Linden resident by hitting him over

and employees being swept aside, and
q hunt made for the man who welded
the club. Fortunately, with the as
sistance of other Patterson employees,

Guences might have been serious. II is
estimated that upwards of two hundred
excited young men took part in the
search.
